Variety is good, but specials are awesome. As long as you do specials of really great artists and not really frequently, I think you should stick with the same format. Your shows already have a big variety of music and truly deserving pieces get “a special show”.

Hello Dave, I discovered your podcast a few days ago, I am from Brazil, and I just loved it! The sequence of music that you play is fabulous! Excellent taste for music!

i like the mixed shows , a full show of only one band is a bit too much of the same tunes, i think…

Cheers,

I think I agree with the view of “Dave you have the right mix” – that is a majority of variety, but when something real special comes along, then a special is definitely called for – I still listen repeatedly to the Natalie Walker special, even though I’ve got the album!

Can’t wait for her special in August!!!!

The variety approach works for this podcast, but I really like specials, so I’d like to get them a bit more frequently.

I guess I’m in the minority but I liked the specials. Those are the ones I listen to more frequently than the mixed ones. Especially if I like the artist.

A tough call either way. But I’ll take the variety approach. I wanna hear different stuff in the morning as you ease me into consiousness. Trouble with dedicated podcasts – if you don’t fancy the artists, then the whole podcast is a waste. With a mix, if you don’t like a song, there’s a different one around the corner. Plus, we have emails et al links. If we like asong, we can sample the rest of the album anyways and hear/buy more if we like…

I’m in favor of a little tease to get me interested followed by a special to really hammer it in. Much like the way The Atomica Project was done. I tend to listen to the podcasts over and over, sometimes the variety is nice but I also enjoy the specials when I’m in a certain feeling or emotion. Your narration is always a welcome addition to the line-up also. thanks Dave. nod.

I also prefer variety and a feature show now and then. În my opinion you have that right feeling to see when an artists deserves a feature show.

Hey Dave,

I tend to enjoy the variety in your shows. Unless it’s
a special artist, like Natalie Walker.

I agree with travis. I like to listen for new music but every once in a while I like it when you spend a whole show on just one artist. You get a better feel for what their sound is like overall. I, for one, would not mind a feature show now and then.

hi Dave

personally, i tend to like the usual ‘various artists’ mixes better. i listen to podcasts to discover new artists, so the more artists featured per show, the more likely it is that i’ll find something that i really love!

nothing against the ‘feature’ shows, those are cool too, just my 2 cents
