Great listen 👍👍👍👍
This was great.
I cannot understand the Member's dislike of our great, big, friendly, cuddly, Scottish chief.
We conducted an interview with Scott Miller last night. It went pretty late and pretty long (2 hours) so I am going to break it up into 2 podcasts and publish.
Yes we asked about his sacking, we asked about his shoes too.
I like listening, but want to give some honest feedback.
First: way too long on the World Cup stuff. It took almost half an hour to get to the Jets. Also, Scott has this circular style of talking that's heavy on management-speak. His comments on the Socceroos just weren't that interesting. I would have reined his long, winding pointless answers in and moved on more quickly.
Second: he may seem a nice bloke, but underneath that management-speak is constant, unrelenting self-praise. He is so, so up himself. I'm 50 minutes in and can barely stomach his narcissism. Hope I finish but it's a struggle.
Idk, as great as the Jetstream is, it isn’t quite a big newscorp, getting the guest themselves is a great undertaking. Understand what you’re saying, but at the same time, you can’t really be like, uhhh, shut up now Scott. You ask a question, and you let him speak. There was one point when I think he was thanked for maybe signing to short term contracts or Stevie UG and moved onto the next question, and he backtracked to finish his answer to the previous question some more.
Think it’s more a reflection of him than the interviewers.
I listened to it whilst driving through Iceland so my mind was wandering a little, I rather enjoyed it. Some interesting perspectives. I wholeheartedly agree, he seems pretty arrogant and also boring with his manager speak. GVE was rather candid and honest about things and that was great. Miller was still very professional. Guess that’s him.
World Cup questions were relevant given his time in the setup and recent discussion.
Marathon effort though, I don’t know how you guys listened to him talk for 2 hours. Haha.
Oh, I agree it's more a reflection on him than the podders. But he's makes it really hard to keep listening.
Just feedback: gentle guidance to stay on track can be done inoffensively. It's the difference between, say, a good workplace meeting and a terrible meeting.
Appreciate the feedback. I agree that 2 hours was a long time hence my decision to break it up over 2 podcasts.
It's very difficult using Skype, as we do, with someone we don't know to interrupt and keep moving on. I think you'll have noticed we tried to move it along at time. It gets easier the longer we've been working together. As Brem said we were fortunate that Scott would talk to us. It's all in their own time and ours.
If it were face to face it would have been easier.
Stick with it the second part starts to move along a bit more.
Thanks for listening. I've got one more who has said they'll chat but my voice is still shot (as you'd have heard) and I'm flat out at work. Hopefully I'll get to it.
You need to secure the big interviews.
Like Plague.
Can we all agree: GVE > Miller, in every way.
Gary certainly has a greater connection with the region and the club
I respect the guy for coming back and having a chat with fans of a club after he's been given the axe. Its not as if he owes us anything.
I lost count for a while but I think "mentality" was said 18 times, so it definitely needed to be a 2 part pod.
We're back recording tonight to preview the FFA Cup. We'll be discussing the squad departures and the recruitment strategy as well.
Shoot any questions though
Will be great to hear your dulcet tones again.
Albeit my response a little late, i thought the pods with McKinna and Miller were great. Some excellent insight. Really good to hear this. Thanks for doing!
Miller has had some pretty impressive exposure os and rather ballsy the way he pushed himself into the scene. Good to hear some of that stuff around recruiting etc during his time at the Jets.
I'd say we're privileged to have McKinna as CEO. Al-round the culture at the club seems to be on song.
I enjoyed the podcast but Miller is f7cking hard to listen to. Always sounds like he want to impersonate some text book. Makes him sound dumb as he forgets the question he has been asked.
I looked up verbose in the dictionary and all I found was a picture of Miller.
Way too up himself but he did some good things for us so its 50/50 for me
A plethora of episodes over the past week to get you in the mood for the season starting tonight.
Dave has already posted episodes over the past week with fans from Glory, Victory, City, Sydney, WSW, Brisbane and Adelaide.
This morning sees my interviews with Phoenix as well as the interviews I did with Lawrie and Ernie.
If you downloaded the episodes for Phoenix and Ernie already, they may be silent. Something went wrong when I exported them as mp3's. I have re-exported them and uploaded them to the website. If you have already downloaded those episodes and they are just silence, please delete and redownload them and they should work :)
Review episode uploaded and ready to go. Also double checked it before I uploaded it to make sure its not 1hr of silence :lol:
Bodes, pv4 and Lucas join me for this one. And Im back for this season after recording setup problems last season meant I was unavailable for a majority of it.
With Dave aka Jeterpool away a lot with work from now on, we will be sharing the hosting duties around a lot more this season.
Very happy to announce that we are now listed on both Spotify and Google Podcasts!! Just search Jetstream Podcast to add us in those apps :thumbsup:
Great first week of the pod, Glad you guys are back. Offseasons way too long
Happy to announce that you can now also listen via TuneIn to the podcast as well as Spotify, Stitcher, Google and Apple Podcasts. All subscription links (as well as all prior episodes) are at our podcast landing page newcastlefootball.net/podcast
A lot of great feedback on the interviews with Scott McIntyre previewing the Persija and Kashima games. Probably something we haven't pushed much this season - interviews with journos and experts. Are there any particular people that the foz might be interested in hearing from? Aaron Kearney joining us for the Grand Final preview was one of our most popular episodes in our history.
We've already interviewed Griff a number of times, but we will definitely be looking to catch up with him as its been a while plus to get his perspective on football operations.
For those who didnt see the social media post, we were unable to record a review episode last night due to the availability of contributors. We will record a combined review/preview episode on wed night which will be available thursday morning.
