2GodChicks

Category: Kids and Family

This new (as of 2010) podcast is about women sharing their hearts and perspectives on being mothers, wives, and christians. The motto is “A show for imperfect moms and flawed chicks.” Many episodes include an interview, and guests are often fellow podcasters. Episodes are concluded with “Scriptures of the Week” that hosts Melody and Wendy share. The hosts desire to encourage women and help them see that they are not alone in their struggles. 2GodChicks has been consistently released even with Wendy just having her baby (March 2010). Topics include marriage, fashion, stereotypes, mistakes made, etc. Unfortunately, we noticed many episodes did not download correctly despite having tried on several computers. Either the RSS feed is invalid or entire episodes are missing from the line-up. In addition to fixing this problem, we recommend the use of the Levelator. This is free software that helps level out the volume of the hosts.

Marvel Star Wars

Category: Games and Hobbies

A podcast looking at the Marvel Comics wacky Star Wars series, issue by issue. For background purposes listeners may need to know that the Marvel Star Wars series was the first series created specifically for the Star Wars saga. This show’s intended audience will appreciate the podcast for its content that includes discussion about writers, artwork, and story lines. Host Joshua is entertaining and keeps listeners’ attention by frequently reading the dialogue and giving the characters different voices. It was sometimes difficult to discern, though, when the host had ended the dialogue from the comic book and began making his own comments. A more obvious change from dialog to commentary would be a good idea. Regarding the recording of the podcast, we highly encourage the use of a pop-filter. Audio plosives plague the episodes when sound effects are made or T’s and P’s are emphasized. Finally, Marvel Star Wars is not consistent with the release of new episodes. There were eleven episodes released in February 2010 compared to one in March.

I'm Not Gonna Lie To You

Category: Comedy

Hosts Kidd and Kramer talk about the things that pop into their minds during this one hour show. Many episodes include guests who are friends of the hosts. Listeners should count themselves warned because this show is full of explicit language and disscussions. Comedy is highly subjective so we can only commit on our own opinions. We felt the comedic element was really “hit or miss” as the hosts quickly went from being relatable and funny to “over the top.” They admit that they are “a tough pill to swallow.” Recently I’m Not Gonna Lie To You has included an introductory song for the show that is well done. We recommend additional post editing. There were a lot of awkward pauses and empty silence that were not used for comedic effect but were simply part of casual conversation. Also, the use of the Levelator would spare listeners from intense high and low ranges of vocal tone and plain loudness.

  • Thank you for mentioning us, Musing Mommies, in your review of 2GodChicks. Question, The Levelator is not downloadable for Mac, do you have a suggestion for macs? I use Garageband and it’s supposed to level our voices but sometimes, it doesn’t do a very good job.
    Thanks again!

  • Thank you Kim. The Levelator is for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The version for the Mac can be found at http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32140

  • Hey guys, thanks for the review! It wasn’t as painful as I’d feared. It was honest and helpful which is what I was looking for. We won’t be changing our content anytime soon, but you can bet we’ll be using the Levelator from now on. Also, I’ve noticed on other reveiws you’ve mentioned the content on websites that go along with the podcasts, did you check ours out? If so, what did you think?

    Thanks again!!

  • Thanks Kidd. We try not to include web site content or reviews. It gets too subjective. Also we would rather focus on the podcast itself. We are very pleased you found the review “honest and helpful”. We do our best!
