I've been getting a lot of searches for "Jeff Probst interview" the past week since my post about the client work with did with Jeff and thought that some of you might be interested in downloading the hour and a half 455mb interview that he did with Tom Green last month.
I'm a fan of Tom Green and dig what he is doing with his show . . . hanging out, having some drinks, call-ins, skype-ins and big name guests in a lo-fi environment (it's Tom, the guest and the tech or two).
With that said, constructive criticism to follow, I'm not a fan of Tom's hired guns' web design, RSS prowess or the podcast consistency. I really like the show and want to see it meet some level of current web proficiency, also known as "nerds that get it".
Problem 1 is that the process of downloading a tom Green show is difficult. Problem 2, symptom of Problem 1, is that shows are streaming or progressive download (pseudo streaming) from the site. Problem 3 is that the RSS link for "Podcast" on the site goes directly to the Tom Green iTunes page . . . in iTunes and not the browser OR the real RSS feed.
Would it be too much to actually link to the RSS feed like this? I think not. My other issue with the RSS feed is that it only includes Apple RSS tags. Which means the display in other programs like FireAnt.tv is sans description or links back to the originating source, a.k.a www.tomgreen.com., where one might find more information about the episode.
Problem 4, the show looks good on Apple TV and the podcast releases are about as consistent as a Golden Girls' bowel movement. The live show is done week nights, when Tom isn't traveling around. The podcasted version takes days, sometimes weeks to show up in the feed. With the live version being semi-consistent the podcasted version should follow, just good form.
Tom, listen to me. Get nerds who can deliver your media and distribute it to the widest possible audience.

Did you really just write "as consistent as a Golden Girls' bowel movement"?

Liezel, you should be able to download by right-clicking and choosing 'save as' but I'm with you on file size.
The interview that I did is still with the client awaiting approval or recommendations for revision.

Liezel, it's not up yet and I am beginning to think it might not see the light of day.
I'll ping the agency on Monday for status.

Once it is live I will let you know.
