Anyone else think Sharkcast volume has been way down? I’m either going deaf or audio is too low. Even when turned up with headphones struggling to hear, latest interviews podcast couldn’t hear the interviewer and answers were prettt quiet.

I’ve not listened to a SC for over a month.

This is going to seem aggressive but it doesn't come from an angry place more so a confused one. You called it soft on Friday despite not listening.

I'm not a main character on there but in the last month I've had a go at the Sharkies for the following

- Mace defending Nicho was dumb
- DA on the bench makes no sense
- Highlighted we can cover every position without DA on the bench (IE Sifa/Wilton into centres, Brailey or Cam into halves/hooker etc)
- We showed a gameplan vs Melbourne to play to strengths that I haven't seen since
- The lack of one half standing up when the game was on the line
- Raimens form
- Our kicking mostly sucks
- Lack of Talakai
- How dumb it is to play 3 locks in one game and how nobody else does it
- 2 undersized locks is dumb
- Our bench should be the best in the league and our rotation sucks
- Our attack looking like it has no game plan
- Moving the home game to Perth
- Asking if we depend too much on our backs as our forwards outside of AFB have been shite
- Holding the Steve Rogers cup in Perth
- BHU not holding his form as I expected
- Every time I talk about SS I bring up last year and the Warriors game where he got f**king pants'd
- SS running too upright and getting dragged

That is just off the top of my head. Sam does complain if you listen to his points - he calls out things he isn't happy with but tries to offer a reason why he thinks they do things a certain way.

What else would you like me to be negative on? Genuinely curious as I will explore it. But don't sit there and say it is soft if you haven't listened?

Calling it a soft podcast is like saying the Sharks attack sucks due to Nicho when we put out games with 1 forward making over 100m. Lazy. Fins up started as a joke because "if that dickhead can have a podcast why can't I?"(not about Sharkcast). We all love the Sharkies. Go and create one closer to your vision and people will listen - it is all good. Nobody is more right than the next person.

I don't think it's a 'soft' podcast I just think Sam sees some things differently to some people.

Frankly I appreciated his and agreed with his more nuanced take on Nicho Hynes late last year when some lunatics were calling for him to be dropped or sacked.

I actually haven’t listened cos I was on holidays overseas. But I still think it’s a fluff a thon from Sam. Not you. Wasn’t aggressive and it’s footy mate I really don’t care. Your last sentence sums it up. Up up

That is why Sam gets so many different backgrounds on there on HIS platform. People who don't see it as he does. If Sam plays the straight bat there is plenty of ways to discuss where the ball lands.

I spend more time outside of Australia than here recently due to work. This thread and forum is a good record of where we all sit. You have been very strong on calling SC soft and probably why BBB called you out on it. So to say you haven't listened to it but jump on a stereotype just feeds people to not engage. I have no skin in the game like I know BBB doesn't. But if someone listened to SC 2-3 years ago when things were good and read that they will think it is the same shit. Reality is we have one of the best win/loss records in the comp since Nicho got here so lets try and work it out together. Not saying you do but the average fan just blames Nicho because of what they read.

Lets all get deep with our thoughts we all want the best.

Summed up.
Except I've known Sam for a long time, way before the pods started, intertwined with the music scene.
He is just being himself, he's not dictated by the club, or too close to the club, which I've seen others say.
He's just a good bloke, and a real mate of mine.

Apologies to you then Bubby if my comments got you offside. The SC doesn’t keep me up at night tossing and turning about Sam’s approach, but everyone has a right to an opinion, like everyone has a right to oppose it. Leave it at that.

Not so much diminished in volume but diminished in quality but I think that's due to so many different types of producing the show these days. At the ground the same day (possibly on a phone or tablet), some studio, some may be from RMYC, some in random rooms in Marathon stadium, others Fred knows where etc.

The ones with very broken, muffled sounds are barely worth trying to listen to.

Is the Fins Up with Dan Nicholls? I know he was on SC several times

Can’t stand his voice
Dan is your classic LU/Facebook shitposter fan. Because I can see that I enjoy some of his takes. He loves a rage like some of us here do, he loves to be stupidly bias to some players.

All fun.

At least none of the pods have any actual sinister agendas.

I think we are lucky with the free content we get to consume.

As maddening as they can be sometimes I agree. In fact, every league podcast I listen to can shit me to tears on a given day.

Neither FU or SC are bottom of my list of SRPs. That honour sits squarely with The ET Stand pod. That's a punish. It's like Facebook on steroids

The Irvine interview is the best podcast sharks related episode I’ve ever heard.

Likely a bias opinion on my behalf having lived through the great peak CSSC times (the inner toobbbb).

I think the ET stand value comes from the flashback episodes or when yku can chat live.

There’s a gap in the market for live watch type content. There’s forums getting too old and slow to keep up with my bipolar brain rot insano posts during games

I must be the only person in the country that doesn't listen to podcasts. I refuse to even listen to audio books. Old skooool.

Good luck to anyone that has a crack at it, I definitely couldn't be bothered coming up with the content to do it weekly.

Why don't you do a cheese podcast? It's niche. You could make a motzarella. I'll even give you a name to use.
