Is the standard of analysis better on GAA podcasts than on the Sunday night television review shows for league and championship? GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7344 - 20/03/2023 10:21:10 2465011 Link 0 |

How long is a piece of string? I find some of them very good and others less so. The benefit of a podcast is it doesn't have the same time constraints as live tv. There's also no match footage, which gives much more time for detailed analysis. It's not really a like for like comparison, but you'd expect a podcast to have more scope on the analysis side.

Depends which podcast. The Hurling Pod analysis is way superior to anything on the Sunday Game. But then you have Daly and his crew talking about horses, drinking and who was in Murty O'Briens that weekend. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1128 - 20/03/2023 10:56:54 2465041 Link 0 |

True, it' not a like for like comparison. But there are similarities. The pods can dedicate more time to analysis so should prob have better analysis. Sunday Game is out before most pods too, so they're time constrained to be edited and on air at 9:30. But having viewers watching match footage kinda helps them illustrate their point a bit better whereas pods need to get their point with sound and no vision. I think it depends a lot on who's doing the analysis and hosting the pod/Sunday Game and their ability to see if it's getting stale during the show and put a bit of debate and humour in their. Joanne Cantwell referred to a midweek Examiner podcast last night so each is aware of the analysis on both formats even if they don't say it. Arguably, the Sunday Game has suffered because some previous analysts are involved in county management this year. Hopefully they'll get a few more good presenters close to the standard of Peter Canavan, who even calls out his own young fella!

Not a huge fan of the Football Pod on OTB, but there is decent stuff and analysis on it. The general OTB stuff during the week is fine too, Anthony Moyles is good the Monday after a big football weekend. GAA Hour on Joe.ie is grand too. The GAA Social is the best one out there, not huge on analysis but a quick review of teh week then a big interview. And yes, for me, even the poorer ones are better than TSG for analysis.

Fair point about not comparing like for like. Sunday Game is a professional setup, part time analysts getting a few quid, with all the data, footage and ying yangs to illustrate their points. That's their job. There's plenty of amateur GAA pods trying to illustrate their points with sound an no vision. But, like you say, they have more time to fit analysis in and if their pod isn't out until Tuesday they also have the benefit of watching Sunday Game and listening to other pods to give them ideas for their show. But in common both formats lives and dies on the standard of the host, their analysts and an ability to make it a good watch or good listen for the duration of the show.

GAA podcasts are generally good. It's a more unforgiven medium so the ones that last are generally good quality. I find OTB consistently good. Dalo's podcast is good also. Watched some of the Sunday league last night and there's a tone or maybe a moan from the panel that would put you in bad form going to bed.

Suppose its subjective too, plenty would like the pub talk feel of Dalys pod but i find it a bit hit and miss.

Could it be any worse than the Sunday game analysis
