G+_Travis Hershberger Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 My question is, how often would these be recorded? I can't imagine doing a 15 minute show every day of the week, and honestly like the live stream better than the final cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jeth Rigoroso Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 The 2 episodes a week format is my preferred format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_DeWayne Shorts Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Would the new 5 show format have better show notes? Sometimes they are good but others they are, well lacking. Example.. I am introducing a friend to building quads and it can be difficult to find the correct episodes to have him watch not to mention figuring out the parts needed since they aren't always listed in the notes.

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 DeWayne Shorts The show notes have DEFINITELY been lacking... but not from effort. The problem is that KH has atypical show notes that don't work really well on the site. -- I'm looking into a better way of arranging projects.

G+_DeWayne Shorts Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Maybe even just a keyword search. Normally the non-live version has a quick blurb saying "on today's show......." if the key words were tagged, it would be easier. I don't think we have to have more detailed txt notes, just a better way to zero in on episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eric Kolesnikovas Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I like the 2 longer episodes, however I do think if they have different parts they could be edited into individual segments after the fact for quick reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Wiggins Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I honestly prefer the longer episodes. Especially since I rarely catch it live, its easier to queue up one or two episodes when I'm cooking or whatever than to have to stop and load the next in the middle of something. And if YouTube is a big part of it, can't you timestamp link the various segments/topics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Donald Weller Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 It would also be good to create multiple feeds. Like a multicolor feed. An rc feed. Pi feed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scott Wilkinson Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 IF it was easier to find the content, I wouldn't care. BUT if it remains so difficult to find content in older episodes, more episodes sounds like a nightmare! The current lack of even a show title on the Twit.tv page makes the site very difficult to find the right old episode. The Know How listing on Youtube is much better, it does show the episode title, but no show notes. The show notes often seem to suffer as well. More episodes sound like more work maintaining show episodes, so I fear they would suffer further. Twit.tv is built with Drupal, as a Drupal dev, I know it can do anything you want. Get the episodes titled, and tagged, and you can break them up or glob them together anyway you want, and we will be able to find the content. I know it sounds like a lot of grumbling, but I really love the show! It is just that something will be referenced as being in the show notes, or "In an episode a couple months ago" and then becomes impossible to find. Then the frustration kicks in, because I really want to go find that piece of info, and consume even more Know How, but can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks Scott Wilkinson ... I understand the frustration. I share it... Unfortunately, because of the way TWiT.tv works, there is no good way to give the KH crew what we want without screwing up THOUSANDS of pages across all our shows. We ARE looking at some alternatives, I just need time to build them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Charles Griffin Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 The shorter format might be useful when doing drive-by viewing on Youtube, which I do daily on my Roku app, but if I wanted to sit for a while and watch a show a longer show would be more interesting and is more likely to attract my attention. A shorter show might seem like a less serious effort to cover a topic or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Chris S Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Shorter format for sure. I love the show but hardly have the time to sit through an entire episode. 5-10 minute shows would allow me to catch the shows I am most interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ian Ainsley Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Would be handy to have access to shorter segments but personally I'd like this in addition to the longer form, not instead of. What used to happen with BYB, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Dennis Wall Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I love the new format. They could even be longer. Can't get enough KH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_grumpyjock Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I like the current format, a change could be split up as a "hands-on" segment and a "heads-up" segment. Love the show, keep up the great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scott Richards Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 As several others have implied, you have heavily loaded the ballot box... So NO I won't watch... Which is a lie, I'll just be hoping for a return to the long format. I listen to the entire TWIT network (-Apple) weekly at work, and really enjoy the depth and quality of the shows. Since I don't view on YouTube, how/why is it important to push viewership there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Scott Richards? I'm interested in how you think we "heavily loaded the ballot box" -- that was a curious statement for me & I'd love a little clarification. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scott Richards Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Well, since the only options are "Yes I'd watch", and No ... [ misinterpreted as "I won't"] , what choice do I really have? Of course, I'll be there, I'm a KitA junkie. Yes, do it. Oh, please don't change. Meh, I'm hooked, so don't care. Could be better options. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Debra Blatnik? oddly enough, we would be less rushed with less time... We do three segments per episode. My idea was to cover only a single segment per show... So we'd actually expanding each segment from 15 to 30 minutes each. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scott Richards Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Since I watch the podcast versions, watching several in sequence would easily provide the "topic focus" I need, and if an extra 5-15 mins is added, that'd add the depth that sometimes seems a bit short.

G+_Paul Lourd Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I like the longer shows. Allows you to really "get into the groove". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Scott Richards Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I agree, but if they're sometimes a sequence, and I view once or twice a week, it'll seem similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ralph Mills Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Know How in the TWiT Bits format. Hmmm I'd watch no matter the format but feel like I'm missing the community aspect of the live feed and chat room experience of the Thursday show.
