Not asking for any personal reasons, but just wondering how it all works with podcasts, in particular and wondered on people's thoughts and experiences of three different types of media and ones you particularly enjoy and why.
Am certain any podcasters who always contribute such great information and analysis of all things Rangers, just do it for the love of the game, ie not enough clicks or views, and I dont see any ads on any either.
We are lucky there are so many different podcasters out there on ourselves.
The young guy that does the video pod and interviews all the lads around him on the way to games and in the stadium and with a lot of footage of the games, and the goal celebrations certainly knows what he is doing. With good camera angles, the background music etc. And he generally gets his footage out rapidly also. Am sure he is looking at a career in media of some sort.
Think there is about five or six different ones now. My go-to one that i always listen to, is the Paul Finney one. Kept me sane during the covid period, when nowt was going on.
Obviously know you are involved in a couple Clive and obviously with the patreon too.
Podcasts are almost like the modern day version of a fanzine. I find it incredible that Dave Thomas and his team, can always find such a vast amount of material to write about, over such an amazing duration of time, without the ability to constantly repeat themselves. I am sure there have been many many more. But the only other one I remember being around regularly, was back in the 90s, "In the Loft", which I bought back in the day.
Any others that people knew about, or contributed to.
I dont buy the matchday programmes at all anymore myself, and haven't for at least 15 years, as there didn't seem to be much to actually read, that was of interest. Don't know what they are like today. Any views regards people that buy them today still.
Gone are the days, when I was doing my morning paper round before school and reading the back page of the Sun newspaper, and finding out that Clive Allen had scored a hatrick for QPR in another big big win for Terry Venables Rangers.
Anyhow just raising debate, if anyone else has anything to chat regards, these three different ways we can get QPR nonsense today and over the years gone by too.

Podcasts were the new fanzines until video became more accessible.
The relatively low barrier to entry means anyone can create media. The unfortunate thing is that anyone can create media, but only a few can create good media.
I do a range of things, but podcast production is one of them, and most podcasts I hear should have been an episode. Having a good idea for an episode isn't the same as putting the work in to create something people want to see or hear. I often get people sending me recorded Zoom calls and ask me to make it a podcast.
The lack of narrative, sound design, focus, or production scares me most days. For example, I've done an 18 minute podcast for an organisation. The timing:
30 mins - recording the main guest
1 hour - editing the main guest, drafting a revised script, drafting revised pickups
30 mins - pick ups with the interviewers to rerecord the revised questions
1 hour - re-editing the pickups, adding music, stabs and imagery.
30 mins - final sound design - compression, tone, noise reduction etc and delivery to the client
That was over a week and meant a half day of paid activity for 18 minutes output. Most people who are doing content like this AREN'T getting paid and doing it for the love of QPR and the medium. Pretty much the same as fanzines. |  |

I prefer (most times), the young fella who films his walk to the ground and a bit of pre match in the Askew or wherever. |  |

Oh yeah, still buy programmes, have one for roughly 80% of the matches I've attended. Missed a few aways back in the day though as we were focused on getting in and out of the host community in one piece. | |
