Enjoy the podcasts, especially with guys like WCG since he is both funny and good at poker, so win'/win, but you are definitely doing things that are awful like:
1) Talking about stories that you can't tell on the air.
2) Talkign about things that are interesting to you, but not necessarily interesting to readers. This includes stories that the guest is willing to tell but are simply boring.
3) Lack of engaging conversation. You don't talk about things like emotional states, what really motivates a guy to sit on his ass and learn poker when clearly money is a secondary motivation, why so many people fail at poker, what are some psychological effects of playing poker for a living. The story I get from you is a nerdy guy who desperately wants to be something else, so you steer the conversation toward hey bro this one time I got laid at a concert, check out my biceps. Really?
4) You seem to have zero consideration for the viewer. You are sitting there in a wife beater, the other guy has a light source behind him so I literally can't see ****, and the conversation borders on asinine.

you did take the time to write all this out, your opinion is yours, 1 and 2 probably aren't going to change. 3 is why would you watch if you didn't find the conversation engaging? 4 is basic dress code and make sure the other person knows how to set up light better without asinene convo?

thanks for the feedback, i'm glad mine don't annoy you that much
I'm going to assume you are watching the first episodes of the PLOs. I think over time I've been able to do a better job of slowing way down when going over hands. I tried to do that over the first couple but I'm sure I could have went much slower and made it a bit more clear. I was focusing on people who already had familiarity with PLO but over time i wanted people who didn't understand PLO that much to be able to try to get what is going on.
The first 2 WCG was so long ago (he is going to be in chicago this week so I think EP 3 is finally coming) I would have to go back and listen to those two again to find the difference in #1 and #2. Dating and women is a more common theme I've been talking about more and I've had a couple women on that I talked about it with as well. I'm going to go back and try to see if I can figure out how the first and second were different in terms the subjects I was talking about with him. I think If i just talked poker on each episode I would end up hearing the same things over/over again and personally get pretty bored with it so I try to talk about more life outside poker as well.
Am going live in about an hour for a new HSPLO podcast with longtime 2p2er dankness3 if anyone is bored this afternoon/evening

I have noticed in EPs since you have made an effort to make the PLO hands more consumable. So yeah, complaint recanted. Have listened to Hastings and lefort ones since my last post, been awesome, keep it up pls.

looks just like a bad run of cards, hang in there man
you start off with a lie

2) I watched it because I play poker.
3) How to make sure the lighting doesn't look like someone shoved a camera up there ass... I mean are you really unable to come up with a solution for this?
I think you don't really have the goal of creating a good podcast.

thanks to everyone posting that they enjoy the podcasts, keep it up
good to hear i'm glad you posted still because it was a good reminder that I try to get better at it, i started doing a notepad of things I need to remember for each episode and put near the top to remember to slow down and try to go slower so audio only people can understand. If anyone is having some trouble still and might have a suggestion for a way that would help them to understand feel free to let me know
thanks SIT, I expected more of them by now 
I like your usage of regular podcast phrases, reverse blockers is my new fave. Maybe a site should hire me to do content only for them (or nah)
part 2 will be this week
i didn't intend for it to be its own episode (just something random that I thought would be fun for people that were watching along) but feedback for it has been really good so I might have to do similar in the future provided there are some fun games running to rail along with

your reaction to dankness's explanation of how he became a 5/10 was classic. I'm curious when exactly you started playing online and if you played bodog around 2005.It really is amazing how good games were back then.
I went from having no money (less than 1k to my name and no job) and having never played a hand of poker in my life to being a bodog 5/10 reg and 10/20 shot taker in less than 6 months.It's hard for younger players to really understand what things were like back then.
bodog was giving out 20 pct bottomless reload bonuses (later lowered to 10 pct) which i was happy to take advantage of in the form of funneling 95 pct of my net worth on to the site- I was finally cut off when i withdrew most of it to neteller and redeposited 8k via neteller (the max) The truth was they could have charged me a membership fee to play.
it was also nice when they had weekly free western union withdrawls 3k max.especially when you would get stuck behind someone refilling their boost mobile card for 30 bucks and all the cashier had was 20s and 10s.
And then I learned they had plo

Also, Dankness episode was solid, he has a story of playing poker w/ Jungleman about 3/4 of the way thru the ep that is hilarious.
Direct link to part of vid w/ jman story
Video of Jungleman getting tilted while playing which demonstrates how spot-on Dankness's impression of jman is:
