I have to say this: Bombcast is too long

Loading...

Really guys, from nearly two hours to two hours of podcast? There is just no way I can have the time to listen to everything in a week, even going to the gym and driving around...
Maybe it works for a lot of people but for me it just feels stretched. An hour of podcast is fine, more is just the crew talking random which is probably fun for yo but for the average listener is boring.

Is the truth, maybe you can agree or disagree.

I disagree, i dont listen to the podcast for the gaming talk really. I listen to it for the randomness that ensues which two hourse better suits.

I think its the perfect length, i have about an hour and a half to 2 hour commute everyday and its nice to have the bombcast for the whole trip... Hell id listen to 3 hour podcasts if they made them! They are just so much fun to listen to! ;)

Who is the average listener of the Bombcast? I'd think it would be people that love to hear the randomness.

It depends, during the summer I don't mind listening to a two hour podcast because I usually have a lot of free time but during the school year it can be hard to fit into my schedule.

Indeed. 2 Hours is a perfect length. The longer the better in my book, mainly because when they are longer there are more random, awesome tangents. I listen to them on the bus and during journeys that I'll be taking anyway, so there is more than enough time in my book. Everyone has easily enough time to listen to the bombcast twice in a week in walking journeys/bus rides/train rides etc.

Man, I love the bombcast. I have a big drive a couple times a week. I like hearing their separate opinions on the video game issues of the day, even if it makes for a longer format.

I prefer it to the Hotspot. The Hotspot usually felt a little rushed.

Wh---what? "It's the truth"....but the majority of the active users listen to it. Not only that, but guys from my school who have never had an interest in gaming sites like this have started listening to the Bombcast on a regular basis after I showed them. Some of them even found it by themselves! Obviously, there is a positive vibe about the Bombcast going around and the mix of video game discussion and pure randomness is part of it.

I love the Bombcast and I prefer it to be at least 2 hours. The random discussion is the best part of it, and, seriously, who can complain when they are talking about a battle between fucking bears, T-Rex's and sharks!!!!

Wrong. Two hours is fine. Even the longer ones that happen over E3 times and thing like that are fine.

Try stopping at about an hour in. Then perhaps listening to the 2nd hour at a later date if it suits.

If anything, it should be longer.

i very strongly disagree, its length is perfect right now... if they cut out all the random things they talk about like you mention then it would be the shittiest podcast ever imo

there are plenty of game podcasts that will just give you the facts with no humor and are short

I wholeheartedly disagree. I listen to it at work as well as a few other podcasts. It's basically the only thing that gets me through the day without going crazy.

NO! You are not going to fuck up the boring parts of my job, which I fill with podcasts. Fuck you.

But seriously, two hours is nothing, I listen to about ten podcasts every week, and I do it mostly over the weekend or while I'm cooking.

If it were less than 2 hrs we wouldn't get the weird tangents they go off on or all the hilarious moments that make the bombcast so much more than your average podcast.
If the guys kept having to watch the clock the conversation would evolve naturally, they'd be constantly pressed to move on the next subject.

I think two hours is the perfect length for a podcast. It's not too short or too long. But for the Bombcast, I want longer more tangent filled greatness. Like someone said just break it up into increments. You have seven days to listen.

I was really happy when they started going over an hour, I always wanted an awesome podcast where they guys who did it would go as long as they needed to. None of this "oh we have to fit it all into one hour" bull shit. Podcasts like that always seem forced, and rushed. I love the GB cast and would have it no other way.

It's certainly perfect for me because I'm sixteen and I have to walk a couple miles to get to town. I can usually get through a whole episode in that amount of time.

The longer the better. If you haven't got time to listen to a 2 hour podcast in a whole week, you do too much. Slow down, relax more, and listen to the bombcast!!!!!!

Two hours is perfect. You can't tell me you don't spend 2 hours a week in your car or sitting infront of your computer. Perfect time to listen to the podcast.
