Those of you the DC area may or may not have heard about "Redskins Nation", a show that started a couple of weeks ago on Comcast Sportsnet Mid-Atlantic. I'm a Redskins fan that owns lousy premium seats. I'm at the top of the waitlist for real season tickets. So it comes with sadness that I report "Redskins Nation", the show, sucks.
Larry Michael, who replaced Frank Herzog on Redskins radio broadcasts, hosts this show as well. He is not as bad as some people might think. I know some of you out there don't appreciate his work. What is bad is the audio. I can't attest to the video, as I have never watched the show. However, in downloading the podcasts, the audio is jerky, has bad volume, and just plain boring. I'm referring to the interviews and "live" audio of course. For instance, on the Monday podcast, they had the Chris Samuels "Cake in the Face" press conference. I said press conference. However, I could only hear Samuels talking and none of the reporters asking questions.
Monday was not the only bad day. And even Larry Michael acknowledged the bad audio. They had wired a player for audio. I forget who, but it does not matter. It was five minutes of heavy breathing. I'm not into that. Michael said that in the future, they would edit the audio instead of running it raw. I'd like to know how I can get the job of editing for the show. Give me a manual on how to run the board. Actually, who needs that? All I need is to know the on/off switch, since it seems that's all they have done.
You're a freaking sports network, using mostly Redskins employees on this show. Show it like you're a real contender to ESPN, not just some teenager with a digital recorder.
