This is not specifically gay-oriented, but there are quite a few amateur gaycasters out there and for humanity's sake, they need to read this.
There are many ways of making a podcast really SUCK. And here are only some of them:
* Make the volume really low, so that people on treadmills and on-the-go will have to strain to hear what you are saying. If more than one person is present, make sure that some microphones are a lot louder than others and, as a final flourish, intersperse with LOUD musical interludes, to make sure that people will be straining and cringing at short intervals.
* Talk a lot about how you are podcasting, especially the technical aspects. Specify for half an hour how long it took you to prepare for the podcast, share all the heartaches and setbacks during this process and be sure to note the exact time and place that you are now - finally - recording. For prosperity's sake. Or something.
* Keep teasing stories that sound interesting, even though you have nothing interesting to say in the present.
* Do a lot of giggling about how lame and crap your podcast is in any or all aspects.
* Whatever you do, do NOT prepare some topics for your show and do NOT have anything noteworthy to say about these topics.
* Make your podcasts roughly the length of a long fart, making sure people will have to cycle through at least three 'podcasts' during an elevator ride.
So much for the bad - next time a review of my favourite gay podcast.
