Reaction And Commentary podcasts

Everyone's reacting to the same thing. Your clip has to be the take.

In this format the subject is shared; what's yours is the opinion and the moment you deliver it. A clip that opens on your sharpest line, with the thing you're reacting to small and under it, is how someone picks your show over the ten others covering the same release. And the window is short, because a reaction to last week's news is already old.

What gets in the way

Send the episode; the clips come back cut, captioned and ranked. That is the whole job on your side.

The moments that travel

The call you're on record forA clear verdict or prediction gets replayed whether you turn out right or wrong, and both bring people back.
Disagreeing with your co-hostTwo takes in one frame give the viewer a side to pick, and picking a side is what the comments are for.
The pause before the verdictThe second your face changes, before you say anything, is the frame people watch twice.
Catching what everyone missedA detail nobody else covered is the one reason to watch your reaction instead of the source.
Reading the pushback aloudResponding to a comment on air turns a one-way opinion into an argument people want in on.

What we leave out

Keep the thing you're reacting to short and clearly secondary on screen; a clip that's mostly someone else's footage is their clip, not yours, and it's the first thing to get pulled. Before you post, skip anything under embargo, an episode that hasn't aired for everyone, or a take you've since walked back, so a clip doesn't resurface as your current position. Every clip comes with a safety check and its reasons, and nothing goes out until you post it.

Questions

Can the clip show what I'm reacting to?

The clip shows what was in your recording, so if the source is on screen in the episode it can appear in the frame with you. No separate window or still is added, so set up your screen the way you want it seen before you record.

My episodes go stale in two days. Which parts go out first?

Every clip from the episode comes back together, ranked with a plain reason, so pick the time-sensitive one from your page and post it first. Upload as soon as you stop recording, and use the rush add-on when a clip cannot wait.

I said something on air I'd rather not have as a standalone short. Do you cut around it?

Clips come from the whole file, so the surest move is to cut that part out before you upload. If it still shows up, drop that clip and ask with "Change this" for any teaser or title that touches it to be recut; nothing posts unless you post it.
