Molly Wood

by faboumen - 12/3/08 12:28 PM

I just started to listen to the Buzz Out Loud podcasts. After a couple of weeks I need to unsubscribe. Not that the information isn't interesting and timely, but Molly Wood just can't let anyone else talk without talking over them, has to always give an opinion on everything whether useful or not, and worse of all has an annoyingly loud and raspy voice that is painful to listen to. Can't anyone, just once say, "shut up Molly, let me finish?"

That's funny...

by Slikkster - 12/3/08 1:54 PM In reply to: Molly Wood by faboumen

Someone looking over my shoulder said "Replace her name with <your favorite/least favorite cable news hosts here> and you've got the same beef".

I don't share your observations in the least. I think she's got a great sense of timing with the regular crew. I don't think anyone's hurting for space to say their piece.


Molly rules!

Somehow that got truncated...

It should have said "{your favorite/least favorite cables news hosts here}"

Molly's the main reason I listen

by JBuzzer - 12/3/08 2:06 PM In reply to: Molly Wood by faboumen

I have to disagree with your assessment. Molly brings balance to the show. She's witty and often provides humor to otherwise dry stories. I don't think I would be a regular listener of BOL without her.

I like Cooley for the same reason. Although Natalie is sorely missed, there is good chemistry with the regular hosts.

Well

I find her constant cheapsakiness annoying you know the who cares if it's good it's hundreds more thing. And her mac bashing.
But she brings humour and character to the show. It would be stale without her. News shows really should all have a cranky cynic don't you think, some one to point out what's messed up.

I still miss Veronica, she was my favourite person in the show. There is this cute redhead from cnet Australia who's a bit like an aussie veronica. ;) skype her into the show.

Molly

I've been listening for over 3 years and that's just Molly being Molly. She's always had the strongest opinion of anyone, but there's never been a time when I thought she didn't greatly respect the other hosts. Maybe BOL just isn't the podcast for you, buddy.

Molly

I think you might be right. BOL probably isn't the right podcast for me. I am holding it to the impossibly high standards of Leo LaPorte and John C. Dvorak. Compared to them, everything else is low rent.

Fanboi Fight!!!

by al409 - 12/3/08 6:52 PM In reply to: Molly by faboumen

Maybe this is a fanboi fight- maybe it isn't. Either way- debating over something that is for the most part a matter of personal opinion- or anything like this- is just a tad bit insane.

Also- this whole post is really just Trolling- as this opinion- if heard and acknowledged- probably won't change anything- the staff of BOL, Molly Wood, or anything else for that matter. Maybe it will provoke Molly or the crew to improvement? Who knows! Maybe this comment counts as constructive criticism? I kind of doubt it...

Why did I just comment here?

I like TWIT, but...

by Slikkster - 12/4/08 3:18 AM In reply to: Molly by faboumen

seriously, you have problems with Molly but not Dvorak? Don't get me wrong; I'm a big fan of both. But Dvorak IS the prototypical cranky geek. Somehow (and I could be wrong) it seems like you have a gender bias here, whereas you might not hold a male host to the same "standard" as a female host. You should consider that.

Last TWIT Episode was awesome

by Francis_Burdett - 12/5/08 7:06 AM In reply to: But... by Nicholas Buenk

to be truthful I am not even much of a "tech" guy (so I am atypical of its audience)

but this past week's episode of TWIT was awesome

.... in the same way a train wreck is "awesome"


especially Mr. Dvorak slagging on the absent Calcanis...

Can't say I agree

by TaxmanCDN - 12/8/08 1:48 PM In reply to: Molly by faboumen

I actually cancelled my subscription to Leo's podcast. They just seemed to sit around and talk about non-tech stuff, or just about their twitter competitions. CNET's podcast gives me allot more information and its entertaining. Leo just started getting on my nerves. And this podcast without Molly would be pretty boring. No offence to Tom, but both of them are need to make a good podcast.

We haven't had a molly hate thread in a while.

by kwahhn - 12/4/08 7:58 AM In reply to: Molly Wood by faboumen

Why can't people just not like the show and leave quietly? That's why I'm giving this thread my official "Kwahhn Troll" stamp.

Delete thread please.
