Secretly Timid
b'My first impression of this podcast was confusion. Secretly Timid? What does this mean? What will this be about? When I went to their website, they add lots of pictures and videos to each video posts. I searched for an \\u201cAbout\\u201d page, and couldn\\u2019t find one. The only thing I could find was a page that talked about the background of all the hosts. When I went to their iTunes listing there was almost no description except that it was an irreverent weekly podcast based out of Texas.\\nIf you are looking for more insights, you might check out some of their reviews in iTunes. The reviewer stated the four hosts have a great dynamics and are hilarious. It sets they all bring something to the table and they have strong beliefs and they stand behind them.\\nThe episode I listened to had the hosts discussing the Mad Men television show. They also talk about getting stuck in traffic. They share a story about ordering broccoli and having the people who served the broccoli. The \\u201cteaser\\u201d for the show is a reference to people licking another person\\u2019s anus. They also discuss what they got their Mother\\u2019s for Mother\\u2019s day.\\nThings They Are Doing Correctly\\nTheir ID3 tags are correct and their recording levels are good.\\nThey seem to have planned out their episode and they know what they are going to talk about.\\nI liked some of the dialog. Unlike a \\u201cRush Limbaugh\\u201d who is a one trick pony, you seemed to want to weigh both sides of a discussion and be willing to look at all the sides of a story.\\nThey mark their episodes as explicit and they are.\\nThings I Would Work On\\nAs a new listener, I have no idea who you are. Consequently, I don\\u2019t care that you were stuck in traffic. What you might want to try is hitting your \\u201cHot Topics\\u201d first and draw your audience in. Then (Now that we kind of have been introduced to you a little and have a slight understanding of you) do the \\u201chere\\u2019s what happened to me this week.\\u201d\\nQuit using Podpress. Podpress is a very outdated plugin for WordPress that left thousands of people with broken websites in the past. Read/hear about why podcast is bad. (http://schoolofpodcasting.com/pepsi-money-comes-to-podcasting-podpress-is-still-a-bad-choice/)\\nThe audio of your voicemail was really bad, and you need to have a way to boost the volume of the call so its as loud as you.\\nYou might look into putting links to the music you spotlight at amazon.com and iTunes using affiliate links. This might help put some gas in your tank.\\nYou mention your podcast on facebook, but there is no link to your facebook page.\\nYou can remove the link to the zune directory on your website as it doesn\\u2019t exist anymore.\\nI would change the titles of yoru episodes and move the \\u201cepisode ___\\u201d\\xc2\\xa0 to the end (or remove it \\u2013 nobody cares what episode it is). Put that information in your ID3 tag (which you already are).\\nThe link to your itunes uses itpc format. That\\u2019s HORRIBLE as anyone who subscribes does not get credit for being subscribed (so you don\\u2019t get credit). See this video.

The problem is, I\\u2019m not sure what I would classify this as. For whatever reason, this just didn\\u2019t move me.\\nYou can subscribe to their RSS FEED (http://www.secretlytimid.com/feed/podcast/), or find them in iTunes (itpc://www.secretlytimid.com/?cat=3&feed=rss2)\\nYou can listen to their podcast by clicking on the player below'
