Show of the Month: DIBBcast Xtra 30: Ok, so my first and so far only review of this show
was met with lots of confusion, and a little bit of anger. I thought back then,
that this shows simple and easy format was great to listen to. And writing my
second review of the show a few months later, I still think that. This weeks
show is what I have come to expect from the DibbCast XTra crew. They talked
about some recent theme park news to start off the show. No distracting and overproduced
segment breaks with lots of music and sound effects. As a UK podcast, they
seemed to make themselves stand out from the rest. Yes, the news they cover is
the same as everyone else in the UK, but their simple and at times, dry
approach to the news is easy to listen to. I think some show hosts can sense
that they are putting out the same information and segments as every other UK,
so they try really hard to make themselves stand out. Sometimes this can
backfire on a show. By trying too hard to be funny, or by taking a WDW Fanboy
like, “I don’t really care what we are talking about” approach is nothing short
of frustrating. This show is simple, and does a great job at getting the
information across to the listener. That, to me at least, is why I listen to a
podcast. Im not there to listen to you make what you think is a funny joke
every 4 minutes. Give me the news, tell me what you think, and for the love of
God, don’t put Fantasmic as your background music. The addition of the
interview of the DIBBCast crew on Mousechat was a great addition to the show as
well. I learned a lot from this weeks show. Again, easy to listen to, great information
for the listener, and a simple format is what made this weeks show a great listen.
But then again, I am a simpleton, so maybe im not the one you should be turning
to for podcast reviews!
DIBBCast will go on to compete for Wakefield Report Show of the Year along side the other Show of the Month winners!
