Gutted I missed it

Personally I'd much rather hear some honest home truths than hear ''I actually think Rohan Smith would be perfect for the Sporting Director job" which was said on the same pod the week before.

Was it?

It was probably tongue in cheek if it was said. But anyway all opinions are valid and allowed, but we have to be careful how they are put across and not personal.

That was the second pod that I had heard and was taken aback. Glad it was pulled. I kept fast forwarding 5 mins at a time in the hope the guy had worked out how to articulate his frustration without taking the easy route of abusive language. Anyway i gave up.

That said in the the previous pod, i saw had 3 guys debating and discussing the Rhinos which I thought was really quite good.

I'm not linked to the Lot Pod podcast in anyway, but I would urge anyone to listen to other episodes before tuning out. Saturdays episode wasn't representative of the content that is usually aired.

Mark has been a great guest in the past, and his honesty is always refreshing to hear, usually with some comic relief after a loss. But even I went from laughing to cringing several times on Saturday. My other half was less than impressed by it when she walked into the room and heard the language used.

But don't be put off by Mark if you did hear it. It's usually a family friendly podcast, with some interesting discussion and analysis of the games. I think it just hit boiling point with a passionate fan who was clearly frustrated by the whole situation. I imagine it might have been different with the other regular host present, too.

I think they made the right decision to pull the episode off the air with an apology.

I'v enjoyed the Pod ever since I first found it, and look forward to all the previews and reviews. Its generally a good listen and I think Eddy's a pretty good presenter, Rhys is good, the difference in their style works, and most of the usual guys are worth a listen. I'd say most weeks it comes across as pretty professionally done and long may it continue.

It is a shame there isn't a properly professional, quality podcast covering Leeds, like What Would Brian Bevan Say.

We’re constantly trying to improve everything as best we can, we've just moved into a new studio and are investing in more equipment.

Eddy and Rhys put a lot of time and effort into it, Ive not listened ti the Warrington one to be honest so might give it a go.

If you want to develop to pod you need the club, players and potentially coaches to buy in - for example the BTS stuff you did pre-season was really cool and value-adding. That’s the kind of things fans are interested in, and you’re in a position to give access - from a fans point of view.

You won’t get that access if you allow bullies with anger management issues a platform constantly. A good rule of thumb is: would we say this to the person’s face?

I know it’s an authentic fan-produced pod which as I said is its charm; but it is valid to ensure a range of critical views are presented for debate. I think podcasts like this work best as a facilitated discussion on the whole.

Keep up the good work mate.

I like the pod. Win, lose or draw, it's always a good listen. I didn't mind the 'forthright' nature of the last podcast. Part of the attraction of fan media is that it's often unfiltered, but I appreciate that if you want to attract sponsorships, then you have to keep it PG.

Although, I would suggest maybe changing the name so it references Leeds rhinos or rugby league. That may help with the algorithm

I know you get it Chris you're a good chap.

Hello!

We've asked for more access to the players and staff for our content. Which we hope comes to fruition soon enough. Like Chris said - the club have had a lot on this year - and a podcast asking for some access to players is absolutely one of the items at the very bottom of their list!

As for the recent podcast - absolutely 100% on me as much as Mark - I should have stepped in and asked for the personal abuse to stop. Some enjoyed the unfiltered podcast, some didn't, we removed it anyway and we will learn from it, grow, and promise it won't happen again.

We've all had a pretty emotional time of it recently. And recording on the day of the game, only hours afterwards, was not a good idea.

What I will say is, we love doing what we do, we love having different opinions on our platform. And we are constantly thinking of new ways to improve and make our platform look and sound better.

We've listened to all feedback, good and bad, and have taken it on board.

This recent podcast was an abnormality. Anyone that has listened to us before would recognise that.

Eddy

Keep up the good work Eddy, the Lot pod is a good listen, especially when cutting the grass or washing the car…

Well done Eddy. Very well said and no doubt the podcast will go from strength to strength
