Is there anybody else listening to the Pilotcast podcast? If so, do you also have a problem with your podcast downloader re-downloading old episodes? If so, are you using iTunes or some other podcast downloader? It's the only podcast of the two dozen or so I subscribe to that has this problem, so I suspect they're doing something odd with the feed. -- Paul Tomblin <ptomblin (AT) xcski (DOT) com> http://blog.xcski.com/ "The way I see it, unless we each conform, unless we obey orders, unless we follow our leaders blindly, there is no possible way we can remain free." - John Ashcroft^W^WFrank Burns Back to top Paul Tomblin Guest Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 4:30 pm    Post subject: Re: Anybody else listening to Pilotcast?

You mean from an audio engineering standpoint, the number of times they step on each other's talk, or just the amount of BS? -- Paul Tomblin <ptomblin (AT) xcski (DOT) com> http://blog.xcski.com/ Ahhh, the permie offer.

Paul, Quote: or just the amount of BS? All, but most the latter. The Pilotcast is the prime example for me (as a professional journalist) why "citizen journalism" won't fly. IMHO, you have to be REALLY interested in flying or have a very long commute (like I do) to listen to that stuff. The amount of repetition, of mic hogging and of sometimes plain wrong facts is stunning. Only one of the guys is halfway professional in his demeanor (sp?) (you'll know who I mean). But then again, granted, it has entertainment value and they have their moments. And they deserve respect for the enormous effort. As John Dvorak put it: "Citizen journalism is like citizen professional baseball. Just because you like the Seattle Mariners doesn't mean you can play worth a damn." -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AirTalk.org Forum Index -> Aviation (Miscellaneous Topics) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Aviation----------------alt.aviationAviation safety EnhancementPlanes, gliders and flying in AustraliaAviation et pilotage (Français)rec.aviationAviation (Aerobatics)Hot air, gas balloons and airshipsHang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flightAircraft Design & BuildingInstrument Flight RulesAviation (Classifieds)Military AircraftNaval AviationAviation (Miscellaneous Topics)Owning AirplanesAviators (General Discussions)Aviation related productsAircraft RestorationHelicopters and rotary wing aircraftsFlight SimulationSailplanesAviation (Students)Light aircraftFlying related activities in the UK Airports----------------alt.airportsEdinburgh Airport Glasgow Airport Humberside Airport Luton Airport Aberdeen Airport Glasgow Prestwick Airport  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
