Buzz Out Loud Wishlist for 2010, add yours!

Dec 7, 2009 5:41AM PST

Dear Buzz Gang and Crew,
I thought I would start the Buzz Out Loud Wishlist for 2010. As good as the podcast and forum is, as with all things, it could be better. Here are my thoughts....add your own.

My Wishlists for Buzz Out Loud for 2010.

1. Breakout your show into segments occasionally: Examples: Internet, Mobile, New Tech, Pop Culture and General Topics.

2. Add a segment at the end of one show each week called: "Few Thoughts from Molly" Similar to Andy Rooney on "60 Minutes".

3. Add a segment on one show each week where everybody has full blown discussion on a topic.

4. Do more "On Location" shows like: CES, MacWorld, Apple Developers Conference, Comic Con, DragonCon, etc.

5. Bring on a few more guest speakers during the course of various shows. It adds more diversity in the discussions and dialog.

These are my ideas, what are yours?
Later People. Wink

My list

1. Don't bring back the weekly t-shirt giveaway. I already have one so it makes me feel extra special knowing you guys won't do this anymore.
2. Bigger chatbox on watchbol.com. I like my chatboxes like I like my women...
3. Place a non projectile type weapon in the studio during the podcast so when discussions get heated...well...the option is there.
4. My god, more iPhone news. We need it.
5. Jason, have a plethora of beat mixes readily available so when Tong goes into DJ mode you are prepared for BOL Dance Mix 2010.
6. Bring back the Special Days. "Today is 'Don't get assaulted by a Goat with a Banana' Day"
7. Go completely ape***t on decorations for EVERY holiday (similar to christmas 2009).
8. have a spontaneous random banning segment during the podcast of a someone in the chatroom

i do miss things like being at the snakes on a plane premiere

and i do miss the interview episodes.

but THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR ME is to NOT CHANGE THE FORMAT. sry to be a poop on this one, but that's just MHO...

if theres some additional content like traveling vlogs or interview episode thats fine. but id like them to stay as additional and not change the current format.

listening since 2005.

Special Days!
Dec 22, 2009 11:18PM PST

Bring back the special days announcement! When you guys did this segment I used to tell my friends what day it was and they were thoroughly impressed with my level of obscure knowledge. Now I have no such news for them Sad
