I am having issues with Heather's accent.

I liked it better than the pre-episode, and it was *pretty* good. I'm not trying to just complain; I really want to see this thing get good, which it definately has potential for.

I'm still not sure if you're trying to do something different than the audio podcast or what. The format is different but the content and humor are the same. We're watching some of the same content covered in the podcast here, again. Do you expect the audience to be much different than the audio podcast?

It seems to loose some of the "blemishes and all" extreme sincerity/authenticity that I love in your audio podcast and in other video podcasts (think diggnation or winelibraryTV). I'm not sure the KATG brand works with any kind of scripting. Keith, Chemda and guests work so well when you shoot from the hip.

The cuts are awkward, and as I see it, they are the biggest problem. I feel like the show is being reset after each one. It's as if each cut is a band-aid for not being able to go with a longer take, which everyone who listens to the audio show knows you can do. I know that video adds another layer of performance but if you go one un-rehearsed, un-scripted take, I think you'll really have something.

Also, you do so well just sitting around casually with guests, drinking and shooting the shit. Why not do that? Why not let the format be no different than the live filmings but on a controlled set?

I guess what I really want is a format like the Howard Stern TV show, but with KATG.

That's all I got. If I seem overly critical its because I've been wanting KATGTV for a long time. You've proven youself in the audio-podcast space, and I'm sure you'll succeed in the video podcast space as well.

Yeah, I suppose I agree with a lot of the stuff in this post, especially about the repetition and spontaneity stuff. But, it'll all sort itself really quickly, especially seeing the difference between their first tester and this 'proper' episode. The bugs are going to be ironed out over the next few episodes, I think.

What are you two talking about? Chemda wasn't in this episode.

I know you love suggestions... yeah... uh... anyway.... It would be cool if Rellek could make something for the backdrop... and don't be afraid to have a shameless plug back there... like.. KATG.com over and over... like they do when a coach is interviewed.. the team sells that spot behind them... oh wait... yeah.. sell that spot behind you!

i'm sure they'll be springing for a green screen pretty soon

I liked the episode. Funny! Heather Mills is great! It can only get better as time goes on! Great job guys!

I really liked this episode! I thought Chemda's accent was very cute and Keith's lines were pretty good as well. Not bad for the first official episode!

Well, just sayin...

I really liked it. It's very easy to say this and that needs improvement and it goes against the original idea of the audio show but so what, it's something new and different and I think it's exciting. I am looking forward to watching more!
