You may have noticed an entry for a certain couch on the ENnies Submission list. (Hint: We’re way down the bottom under ‘Podcasts.’) We filled out the form last weekend and have been studying our site stats for signs of largesse from the fine folks over there, or jealous attention from our fellow competitors. This is made more difficult by the fact that our site stats never made a lick of sense at the best of times.
In all honesty, the competition looks like a bunch of awesomeness and it’ll be an honor if we get anywhere near being nominated.
In other news, we’ve been tweeking and tidying all over the site and in the background of the show for a while now. So, this is what we’ve been doing and why.
The enormous buffer is there so that Tonya can go on a three week Pain Management course in March/April without having to worry that the Big Red Couch will be sending out cricket noises and tumbleweeds over that time. It’s been a lot of work and everyone has pitched in on the sound editing to make this possible.
This has triggered many conversations about the amount of work that goes in behind the scenes and how we can make it more sustainable. Many of the Couchers have some big life changes coming up, (nothing bad, I assure you,) which means we need to figure out ways of giving you the best listening experience we can in a more sensible number of hours.
We are very grateful to everyone who helped and everyone who continues to make this podcast worthwhile by tuning in every once in a while.
As always, we like hearing from you guys, so if you have any feedback, comments, rants, game ideas or just want to say hi, you can email us at BigRedCouch(at)hoarde(dot)net.
