Wfc On Social Media…

I need to find other Watford related things to look at/listen to on a long journey

FTRE - I used to like listening to their podcast as I found it quite polished a while back but they have all become so insanely up their own backsides that I now find it impossible to listen to. They can never ever criticise anything

DNSYE - listened to this for the first time and must admit I quite like it. Very raw and talk as fans…not a WFC mouthpiece

Any FB group - I realise why I hate most of humanity when I read the guff on that. All you get is people saying Pozzos are great and would you rather have Bassinni every time somebody criticiques the club…oh and that Shorty fellow seriously needs to get a life and move on

The Athletic - bit dull. The odd article that interests me

WD18 - I quite like him. He’s young and means well and admire his passion. I’m just a tad old for it

Any others I’m missing?

 

Is that still going? The one linked to Blind Stupid and Desperate or is it an official one?

 

The Watford Buzz podcast is superb.

 

Second the recommendation for the Watford Buzz - most intelligent and least delusional, by far, of all the Watford-related auditory media available.

 

And not in the least bit surprising that they weren't invited to the committee group.

 

The DNSYE back catalogue of interviews with ex players are some of the best podcasts out there, prefer them to their general ones. Gifton, Neil Cox, Robbo particularly good ones off the top of my head.

Agree about the Watford Buzz, took a while to find its niche but now the right mix of tactical analysis and humour.

Quite like the Oh My Word series that looks back at Watford in the 90s but imagine they'll run out of topics soon.

Not that many blogs out there worth reading, a few interesting Twitter accounts knocking about though.

 

The Voices of the Vic is something I listen to from time to time. Ben Ainsworth and Mike Duffy, although Mike's been away from it a while now.

 

Correction.....Ben Aiton.

 

I heard that if you’re at a home game, you aren’t more then 3 feet from a Watford podcaster/YouTuber/Twitter Spacer.

What do we have, 10 regular shows about the team? For a piddly middling little club? Some guy does one from San Francisco. Do they think that we all have time to listen to all of them?

Though to be fair, it was all summed up for me when some bloke - who’s Twitter profile photo is him in Peaky Blinders dress holding a betting slip - did a 2 hour interview with Watford legend Jay DeMerit recently on Twitter Spaces. 70 people ‘tuned in’. 70.

 

11 including Moog's podcast.

c30 of the 70 were Moog.

 

That's that Charlie Zazzera (poss. sic) guy, isn't it? Never understood where and what he sprang from a priori as some kind of inherently Watford-related figure.

 

I run 15 podcasts myself.

 

I still haven't listened to a Watford related podcast, it's bad enough listening to some fans you get stuck next to for 90 minutes.

Are there any with real insight to the club and the going ons behind the scenes or is it just the usual boring podcast stuff?

 

I'm going to be releasing a new podcast called COG-nitive Dissonance.

Episode 1 will be an hour long, and cover pressing issues, such as my experience of playing the 50-50, why I'm so so proud of the flag displays and why I prefer the new coach parking position. AOB will cover the positives to take from recent losses and benefits of incorporating the views of media goliaths like Ucko? and Rookery Mike.

Episode 2 will cover the successes of the Pozzo family and why we should all trust in Duxberry.

 

Our biggest YouTube broadcaster is lucky to get 2k views a video. Says it all really.

 

Presumably that's small potatoes from a monitising perspective?

 

The words "f***" and "all" come to mind.

 

As Diamond says, if they are monitising (which they do qualify for), it’s probably about a tenner a video, if that.

To be fair though, even the official club channel struggles to get above 1k on non-highlights videos. Our fanbase just doesn’t care about Helen Ward or an interview with Ray Lewington.

An exclusive interview with the Women Of Watford got 844 hits. You can remove 20% of those to even start thinking about full views.

Yet we have double figure numbers of podcasters, YouTubers and bloggers.

 

You need at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in 12 months to turn monetization on.

Then how much you make all varies based on the length of the video (longer video = more ads to interrupt your video), amount of subscribers you have (higher the subscribers better-paying clients want to advertise on your video and more people click through)

All in all from my past experience managing YouTube channels, I highly doubt it's any more than £100 per video given their average views.

 

If I did a poddie it would get better figures than Eastenders in the 80s imo.
