These first three discussions being branded as "Day 1/2/3 Deliberations" marks them (to me, at least) as being flagship content; essential listening leading up to the rankings in Day 4/5. The disconnect (and negativity) is coming from the fact that, well, they're not. They're appendices, DVD extras.From a practical production point of view, I think the new format is a great change. From a "healthy workplace environment" point of view, it must be fantastic, and I don't think anything should actually change for those reasons.The one thing that should change is that the "Deliberations" podcasts should be treated like the supplementary content they are. So here's what I think would help next year:Days 4&5 (the ranked list days) are split into four podcasts of 2-ish hours each (or however long), and become Days 1-4 of the released content.The day after the GOTY lists are all done, the current "Deliberations" days' podcasts are released, clearly marked as bonus content. People who want to can see how the sausage was made, and it has the added benefit of people not being able to guess 80% of the crew's final GOTY list based on the deliberations.That's it, that's the fix. So nothing changes in terms of what's recorded, only how it's branded and released. Christ, this turned out long, but I think this would really help abate the negativity next year.Yes they should do that --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
