Feedback on the show!

Having just watched the first episode, I think the promise for the show certainly has a solid foundation (http://paradoxdgn.com/junk/avatars/trollface.jpg). A few comments I will make;

- it would be cool if Kevin actually gave an introduction to the show and what's it's about. ie. in the first episode, all Kevin did was introduce who the guest was and say "let's talk to him". People not familiar with the show would have no idea what it's about.
- ask a few more offbeat/entertaining questions. They can still be very relevant to angel investing etc., but just trying to shy away from cliche questions that the interviewee will have been asked 1000 times before.
- perhaps some more casual camera setups and edits. At times it felt like an interview with an amateur journalist due to some of the cut away shots of Kevin nodding etc.

I did enjoy the first episode and look forward to seeing more in the future. Does anyone know if this is a weekly or monthly show?

Great first episode but the font used for the logotype needs improvement. 2 fonts that are similar but more aesthetically pleasing would be FF Din Black or Uni Sans Heavy.

I would also suggest not using the Social Network soundtrack to create the music for the show as it is to... on the nose.

Otherwise very interesting concept and look forward to future episodes.

Loved the first episode. I definitely don't think the actual target audience is mainly angel investors, after watching the first episode I think it would better fit under a entrepreneur who's wanting to create a living off of an internet based business. I'm not an angel investor but if I was I think I would be looking at everything individually and I don't think it would be possible for this show to explain too much about good investments because a lot of the meat and potatoes happens behind closed doors with ndas signed.

That said I think people who are investors interested in investing in the technology sector might be able to see potential pitfalls and strengths based on the lessons learned and the overall background of the person which I find really interesting.

The show needs more links. I love it when links to websites that are clickable show up below on a playback timeline or in the footnotes.

SUGGESTION:

My only actual major suggestion would be to consider doing your show in a new format like those slideshow sites where you can see on the right the slide (with photos, sites, maps, main points etc) while the video on the left explains it, then have a way for people to download the slide presentations based on popularity sorted by rating/digging. This would be really rad way to watch a lot of shows, I think this should be added as a mode.

Really liking the show so far. Both episodes have been very entertaining, well produced, and very informative. I love hearing the ideas from guys like this and not just how they made it, but what gave them the idea and how they came to fully realize that idea. Can't wait for more to come out.

I really enjoy this show.. I love how clean it is, and how well it's shot. The intro is no bs.. just the logo, a single chord plays, and we're in. Great feeling.

Thanks! I'm really digging all of the feedback we're getting on the show, can't wait to do more for you guys. Shooting the next one Monday!

I posted this somewhere else but is probably best here:

What I would love to see is some self-made HW/embedded software people, along the lines of if we could have talked to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs in the early days. I say the early days since I think this show works best with guests that have made it big but still have a long life and path ahead of them. So we get to hear how they made it to the point their at, and hear how they plan to go forward.

I guess it is more difficult to find these types of people since Kevin's home base and the people he knows are more Software than HW.

The format is great. A simple laid back approach and asking these people exactly what we would ask if we had the chance to sit and talk with them.

I like the show.....not enough to pay anything for it.....but it's decent enough.


I just finished watching the latest episode and as I suspected would happen, Kevin has effectively already run out of people to interview. Interviewing buddies or acquaintances will only carry the show so far. It appears all this show is really about at it's core is Kevin Rose promoting himself by way of doing interviews with people who have companies that Kevin is invested in with either time or money....which without fail comes up at some point and time during each interview like some sort of pathetic disclaimer.


For example, I understand this Brian Wong kid is pretty smart and all.....but unless I'm missing something I fail to see what he has truly accomplished besides being completely smitten with himself.

40 minutes or so of watching some kid with more ego than accomplishment isn't really that entertaining or informative. But as I've already alluded too...... I'm sure it's in Kevin's best interest to feed this kids ego.

Point is.....I wont be watching anymore.
