Review 1: Atomic Suburbia

Episode reviewed: 27
Duration: 31:09
Genre: Uncertain
URL: http://www.poddog.ca/suburbia/
Host: Daryl Cognito


The first podcast for review was found on Podcast Pickle. Atomic Suburbia can be found under the top 100 podcasts. The host of the show, Daryl Cognito, (Canadian) speaks out against purchasing hybrid cars in this episode. I can't say I agree with his logic (or lack of) on the subject. Kudos to Daryl for sharing a couple of prerecorded arguments against his opinion.

Halfway through the podcast a single song is played. I'm not really a fan of music in the middle of a podcast, but at least the music was good and pertinent to the days subject. Aside from the middle music, I can find no notable fault with the editing or format of the show.

An excellent job is done of maintaining the website in regard to information. Links are provided for all the pertinent objects or subjects mentioned. Also, there are several links to make purchasing the music from the show simple.

All of this said, Atomic Suburbia will not be making the list of podcasts I subscribe to. The reason is more personal preference than anything else. Daryl's tone of voice does not appeal to me. It's not like I have a perfect voice myself, trust me...I'm annoying as all get out. But with so many great podcasts already on my list, it will take a truly outstanding show modify things.

First, thank you for the review, I appreciated that you took the time to listen and write the review. I completely get the "tone of voice" not appealing. I have dropped a few show for the same reason.

I really like that you link back to the podcast pickle. A very important site for podcasters and listener and it is where a lot of got our start.

Anyway, thank you.
