0:00.0 | This is the Bay-Maw podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings. Today, we are addressing the Twitter-sized elephant in the room, talking about how we each use social media, and considering ways all of us can engage this part of our world in a healthy way. |
0:22.5 | Yeah, this is a bonus episode again. I love bonus content. Yeah, so much fun. We don't do a lot of recorded and then release it. And even this is like, our turnaround time is several days, which is pretty long for timely types of newsy podcasts. |
0:40.5 | But we're usually a good two or three months out when we record. But today we're recording for just a few days away. |
0:46.5 | Well, and speaking of bonus episodes and when this is being released, which is Monday, that's the same way. Things like that. And we've never done this before either. But we are, we're putting out a poll, a little survey that we would like you to participate in. |
1:04.5 | The link will be in the show notes. And we, you know, we mentioned a few episodes ago on our Tohuv, avohu episode that we have a brainstorming, planning retreat coming up in the first of the year. |
1:22.5 | We're thinking about different types of content that we can do different formats, different mediums. But we know we have a lot of podcasts listeners who apparently like podcasts because you're listening to a podcast. And so we want to do more podcast content. |
1:39.5 | And how do we structure that? And we've had a lot of internal debate as to whether that should be one podcast with more episodes or two podcasts with different types of content in each one. And I think we, we have some pretty good ideas of the pros and cons of each of those approaches. |
1:57.5 | And, you know, we each have our hunches as to what is going to be better for everyone. But I think it would be good idea to actually hear from podcast listeners about, you know, how you, how you listen to podcasts, what you find important. |
2:14.5 | The first page is really just about that core question. Should we have one podcast with more stuff or should we break it out into separate podcasts? Because the idea here is that we're going to make more content like I think that's one of the things that's not that's not the question. That's not the question. |
2:29.5 | We are going to make more content. The question is whether or not we put it on the same feed or do we keep a Bible centric feed and then put everything else because we want to do things like fun things and whether it's just a humorous episode, we want to be all that try stuff and experiment with things. |
2:47.5 | It might be couple episodes a week. It might be one episode a week. Who knows, but we want to be able to do different kinds of stuff. So do we want to on the same wood podcast listeners like yourself one at the same spot. |
2:59.5 | Or would you like it in a different spot. So that's what we're, that's the core question that we're going for here. |
3:06.5 | And then we just have like some, just some general survey ideas of like, do you like this type of content? Do you like this type of content? Do you not like this type of content? |
3:18.5 | And I don't, we haven't quite nailed down all of the things we're going to be asking about. It's pretty short. It should be pretty easy. But really just that first page, you can fill out that first page and then just pencil whip it all the way to submission and. |
3:32.5 | And that, but if you want to give us some more thoughts and even the third page has just a free form field, if you have, you know, completely different thoughts that you want to share. |
3:42.5 | Either way, we would just love to hear from everyone. So please take a few minutes and fill that out. |
3:48.5 | We have lots, lots of things coming. |
3:50.5 | Well said, I don't even have anything to add. I thought it was a good idea to ask the we're, we all were trying to like, we think the listeners would want this. We think that we just thought why not ask the listeners themselves. So here we are asking here we are. |
4:04.5 | So today's objective is to, and this is, this is feels particularly timely in that the most recent episode we released. I was really whatever moment recorded that I don't remember when when we recorded that. |
4:20.5 | But I was just really uncomfortable in dancing around the whole Twitter plug at the end of our episode. And I hate it. I don't want to, I don't want to do this. |
4:31.5 | So I just want to address it. And at this point, I'm going to continue saying it at the end of episode, every episode we record until the whole thing falls apart or we leave or whatever. I don't know. |
4:44.5 | And maybe I'll have to try to edit around that. I don't know. But I hate just not being able to just say it and just be comfortable with it. So we want to address it. |
