   I’m not too sure I like the sound of this. Literally. I try and catch Kris Tapsley and Anne Thompson’s podcast from time to time but Anne has a horrible, shrill voice that puts my teeth on edge. At least Jeff Wells hasn’t started yet: what a dreadful voice that man has: like Andy Devine crossed with Jerry Lewis.

   A Sasha and Ryan podcast! Can’t wait.

   I like the Super Movie Friends series that Poland does, but I also realize recording voices via Skype is easier than getting 4 people in a room to record a video. /film and Collider do a video podcast thing, not sure giant talking heads is as appealing.

   An Awards Daily podcast is fantastic news. I have a job where I’m out and about and I listening to literally hours of podcasts every day. I listen to Tapley and Thompson which is pretty good. I’m sure AD will be even better.

   The best advice is to keep it relatively short and tight. Tapley and Thompson keep it under half an hour most weeks, which prevents them from wandering off topic, unlike the vast majority of the podcasts out there.

   Ours will be very short – twenty minutes and we’ll not be following the Tapley Thompson model.

   Are you guys following the Gervais, Merchant, and Pilkington model then?

6. Ryan Adams November 29th, 2009 at 7:19 pm 6

   We’ll be following the Groucho and Harpo Marx model. I just need to get a new OOgaOOga horn before we can get started.

   My only criticism of Tapley is that he always sounds so woebegone. There’s a deep sigh behind almost everything he says, as if the whole Oscar game is almost too much hard work. Otherwise the show is pretty strong.

   I’ve always preferred Awards Daily because it doesn’t take itself too seriously and because Sasha is always cautious and modest in her predictions.

   Ryan, I can’t wait to hear your sexy voice.
   The Nancy Oliver interview was a real gem.

   I know them both in person and so listening would be like doubling up but also, weird to listen to a podcast of someone you know. My favorite podcast is the Stuff You Should Know from How Stuff Works. Those guys are so awesome. And they are pretty much my inspiration to do it; not so much for the AD readers who get enough of us on a daily basis but for the podcast folks out there who might not.

    I listen to Stuff You Should Know. Stuff You Missed In History Class is also produced by How Stuff Works, and is just as good.

    The best movie podcast in the universe without question is the brilliant “Filmspotting” from Chicago Public Radio. It’s fantastic.

    I’ll savor that compliment now, dela, because I have a feeling you’ll just want me to shut up when you hear the 30-minute phone call I had with Viggo Mortensen. I let him do all the talking.

12. Sasha Stone November 29th, 2009 at 8:05 pm 12

    Thanks Arjay – I just subbed to those you recommended! I think I’m going to like Filmspotting.

    Can’t wait!!!!

    I am sooo excited for an AD Podcast! Anyone interested should look up the NPR Culturetopia podcast. Great film and arts coverage.

15. Sasha Stone November 29th, 2009 at 9:52 pm 15

    I’ll definitely check into Culturetopia! Give us some time to grease our wheels before it is up and running smoothly. The Stuff You Know dudes took some time to warm up too so I don’t feel so bad. Right now I’m working on my “how not to sound like a deer caught in the headlights.” However that sounds is how I sound.

    Sasha, you did something with Tom O’Neil for goldderby few years ago and you were great. That’s when I decided to defect to OW (before the name change).

17. Sasha Stone November 29th, 2009 at 9:57 pm 17

    Ah, thanks Dela. I am hoping to rope Tom into some participation as well.

18. Robert November 29th, 2009 at 10:23 pm 18

    Add my name to the list of people eagerly awaiting the AD podcasts.

    And arjay, #7: Thanks so much for using “woebegone” in a post!

19. Mark November 30th, 2009 at 10:02 am 19

    This is interesting. How long will each podcast take? Will there be music used in the podcast? Sorry about asking too many questions….I guess I am excited, that’s all.

    Thanks for posting this Sasha! Looking forward to the AwardsDaily podcast.

    Oh, and we’re For Your Speculation, not Awards Speculation.

    Oh sorry Big Ted!! For Your Speculation!
