Well done, very brave!
It's a good start and I know it is MUCH harder to do in practice than it seems from the outside.
And of course it will get better over coming weeks and months.
Assuming you want some critical comments to help things improve i.e. this is not pure criticism to undermine, it is in the spirit of trying to improve things, read on... IF not just ignore all this!
The audio wasn't perfect and microphones could be better BUT it wasn't bad for a first go; I've heard worse podcasts.
I'm confused why the pod isn't called Glory-Glory. It does say it in TINY font on the logo but on a smartphone it would be illegible. You mentioned "the forum" and Gutterboy on "the boards" but I reckon you should have introduced at the start that this is the partner podcast to the Glory-Glory Forum if any listeners want to go to glory-glory.co.uk and join the forum blah blah. Ah, you mentioned it after 74 minutes and the last 10 seconds! There should be more badgers on the logo and more custard/Tom Jones etc?
You mentioned visuals a lot at the start, probably your subconscious was saying "don't mention the video" so you mentioned it a few times e.g. look at their face well you can't see their face but looking at my screen well you can't see the screen, I can see smiles but you can't see smiles, well here's our man in the sun well you can't see the sun...
Make sure everyone can pronounce player names. I lose some faith in opinions when someone can't pronounce names e.g. Burj-ween Burg-ven [Berg-Vine] and Hoe-Berg Hold-Berg Hoe-Bee-Air [Hoy-Bee-Air] and Tan-Guy [Ton-ghee] and Eric Dear [Die-er] and One Matter [Juan Mata] and Le Chelso [Lo Selso].
You were laying into Spurs and particularly Mou Mou over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over for the best part of an hour! Saying we were coming to crisis and his head was on the block and that Levy had a big decision to make and what an old-fashioned boss he is and itching to get rid of him and how awful our football is BUT I suppose since Wolves we've smashed Leeds and Brentford, so feelings have changed a lot!
You say that winning the League Cup could be a disaster if Mou gets an extended contract and that the bare minimum is the Europa League and even that doesn't mean anything...and that beating either Manchester team is a gimme this year and just par... that is beyond harsh and got quite wearing as the slagging of Mou came around to the 90th minute! Everyone started joining in and moaning about him like we're getting relegated, cheer up lads! Too much. Very negative takes, saying Kane will be off, very negative, straw man arguments.
Roger battled well against the tide to keep balance!
In terms of duration it felt too long, I think you should try to keep it shorter and leave people wanting more... felt like every point of every game and every player was discussed, rather than e.g. state there are 4 focussed topics rather than one long discussion of "stuff".
It was quite hard at first to keep track of so many voices without the visual; usually it would be 3 or 4 so you can remember who has which opinion i.e. "the guy with that accent thinks XYZ and the guy who sounds like AAA thinks BBB" but I was a bit lost at times. Maybe introduce people so it is easier to know which voice is which.
Omar started off on fire and then disappeared at half way, did he fall off the call?
Remember this is all said in the spirit of trying to help; I would not do it so well myself and you are already good, so please understand that.
PS. Maybe some/each of you should have some stats to hand e.g. a list of the games, results and scorers from this year and the upcoming fixtures and dates [and maybe results and league positions from the last few years] so it is easier to remember what happened and what games are coming up. Can just be websites, doesn't need to be anything onerous.
And then also help the listener to remember e.g. if you are going to mention some game in September or May, help us by describing what happened, we can't all remember every shimmy of every game.
