PrintAs if reading what we write wasn't enough, we're now going to give you the opportunity to listen to us, too!
Something new that we'll be doing this year is a weekly podcast. The goal is that we'll get three of the site authors together every Sunday night, recap the game from the day before, and preview what's coming up next week. This is a chance for us to touch on things that we may not get to on the blog, or just provide a little different medium. Plus, you need something to listen to while you work out, right?
For the first edition of the ATQ podcast, Matt Daddy, Takimoto, and myself preview the upcoming season, talking in detail about Darron Thomas, the running and passing game, the tranistion of Eddie Pleasant to safety, and much more.
This is our first attempt, and we know that there is improvement to be made, so constructive feedback is appreciated. Our goal is to make this better every week.
Without further ado, enjoy the ATQ podcast!

I'd listen just in hopes of finding out
that one of AtQ’s regular contributors has the voice of a 13-year-old girl.

okay
because I know people are going to ask, this one is about 39 minutes. Also, the link if you want to download it http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/87503

It’s 39 minutes, but it feels like 35 or 36!

Fun listen, guys.
Perfect for while I’m updating media lists at work. Great first effort and you guys will get even better when you get more comfortable with it. Keep it up!
We’ve been thinking of getting a podcast going for our site too. You guys have any tips for the production process?

One of the best things that Dave did was he emailed out the topics to all of us prior to the call. It gave us an opportunity to think about what we want to talk about and even come up with some more discussion points instead of everyone just saying, “yeah I agree” the entire time.
Hey Daisy, git me anudder one!

yeah, that really seems like the best thing
Its hard to give a lot of advice when we’ve only done it once. Definitely have someone kind of playing host and trying to keep things moving somewhat.

Here's a trick for good audio quality that I read somewhere.
Recording over the phone usually sounds like balls. Instead, have each person record themselves locally, and then mix all the audio files.

Can we do a high school version of this one week
with TQA8, Qrsouther and myself? That would be something else.

You wouldn’t be allowed to with Quinn and I, and if Quinn and I did a podcast…it probably wouldn’t be much about Duck football.

For the most part I thought that it was well done
Once you guys are used to doing this more often, I think that there will be a few less pauses, and it will be more streamlined as a whole.
It’s still much better than I could do. I would probably get nervous, say nothing meaningful, and have my voice crack all over the place like TQA8.
Self-anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
ummm, ahhh [pause] umm ya know? [pause] Thanks.
In all seriousness this was my first attempt at doing anything like this and I’m sure there are tons of ways to improve. I also think the more times we do it the easier it will get to streamline it and create better content. I had the feeling as we went through it that there were things that are easier to touch on and explain in the podcast than in written form. So I’m excited to do it again and get better.

I thought that college football podcasts were only supposed to ramble on incoherently about Notre Dame and games played back in the 1940s???
Actually, Solid Verbal is the best college football podcast around, but for an Oregon-specific show well done for the first go fellas. I’m a former radio DJ so I understand all too well how hard it is to keep the conversation flowing and on point while entertaining, and that it takes time to really find the groove. Keep working at it.
Not a bad first effort
Hard to get the flow down…maybe add a little production value (some intro music, different segments, recurring segment).
I like that some of the topics were not the same one’s that are over discussed. I think to be really useful, it should focus on things that are left un or under-reported. We all read the same stuff and it gets repetitive, so if you can talk about some of the more obscure things then it will be more worthwhile. (Kicker discussion for example. I know everyone disses kickers, but our situation has me nervous. I don’t want to lose a close game because Beard can’t hit more than 7 out of 10 FG attempts).
yeah, we figure practice will make perfect
and I agree about focus on things that are underreported. One of the biggest reasons we wanted to do one of these was to talk about some of the things are are more difficult to write about. And I think that will be easier once the games start. Preseason was kind of tough, as we’re not going to a lot of practices and reading much of the same stuff you are.

Good job guys
I think the podcast would benefit from a weekly “This Week In The Suffering” feature, where we take a few minutes to look back on past events, in the spirit of those-who-do-not-remember-history-are-doomed.
I’d be happy to contribute.. I have a face made for radio, after all.
Average Score Since 2004: Oregon 42 Washington 17
I watched a tape of the 1993 Oregon-Cal game the other day…ya wanna talk about suffering, I still am not sure who exactly Oregon lost after being ahead by 30. So many things had to fall into place just right for that to happen, complete fluke helped out by Rich Brooks’ typically atrocious game management. Pain.
I summarized this in an edition of The Suffering (“”http://www.addictedtoquack.com/2009/11/27/1175397/the-way-we-were-a-duck-fans#storyjump" target="new">The Last Lost Season"), but CGB’s writeup is understandably more thorough, since they won.
It was that game that made me think we were never going to get over the hump. Glad I didn’t give up.
Average Score Since 2004: Oregon 42 Washington 17
I attended this game, and tried to erase if from my memory.
Thanks everyone!

If I had a suggestion, it would be for it to be a little shorter. 38 minutes is pretty lengthy. I doubt very many people have the time or would be willing to listen to the whole thing.
Otherwise, great effort, and this did contain some very good information.

Meh I like the length, I need more podcasts to listen to while grading and analyzing data.

Must avoid hack joke about ‘enjoyed the length’
In all seriousness I was happy that it lasted my whole bus ride into work. I wouldn’t work from an alotted time. I expect (hope) there won’t be as much to talk about during, say, the time between PSU and ASU. Don’t try to cram or expand to fill time.
The executive summary in the post helps. If I know I don’t have time to listen to the entire three hour post USC podcast, but do want to hear Matt’s take on how the presence of Pleasant and Boyett on the field means that even an experienced receiver like Ronald Johnson won’t come across the middle, I know roughly where to search.
Overall, great job. I enjoyed it.

Nice work guys. I’m excited to have this be a regular feature. Obviously, working on cutting down on pauses, and getting flow will be good, but that will come, I’m sure.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
here's just an idea.
But a crazy cool intro would really set the tone.
For example:
Cue Background Music, Various Duck audio clips are played
Announcer: This is the quack you want
Huard back to throw and it is INTERCEPTED!! THE DUCKS HAVE THE BALL
Announcer: This is the quack you need
And get ready Pasadena, the Ducks are flying south this winter
Announcer: This is, your Audio Quack Fix.

Nice work men. Plenty to talk about.
It is nice to see others branching out into the new media. We do our dog and pony show on youtube, but you can’t do 38 min. or anything over the phone.
I think more of you ATQ’ers would enjoy talking sports over the podcast or video. I would love to see more duck fans on the internet. It is one of the main reasons I wanted to do SportsChat503. The rest of the nation wants to hear it.
If anyone cares…
I did fix my camera.
GO DUCKS

While visiting our SB Nation week 2 opponent...
I noticed that they have a podcast going as well. They podcast live and even have a number to call into. BTW, I enjoyed listening to the podcast, although I accidentally submitted a vote of “no” in the poll… I could see this growing into a good site feature
Oh yes
You guys definitely need a dial in number so the rest of us can call in. We wouldn’t crank call you or anything. You know you’d be safe with this group. Of course, HRD would drunk dial you but you could certainly handle that.

This reminds me of a friend who was a customer service agent for a health insurance company just after college.
He would get occasional crazy calls from people with something stuck in their ass, etc.
Strange, it doesn’t seem like that many people have issues like that.
Oh dear lord did we get some good mileage out of that one.
