    Terrible terrible terrible…. You guys want feedback – so here it is. This episode was a nighmare, very unprofessional, clearly you’d not tested any of the equipment in advnace or done a sound check. You started by saying this was a packed show and then there’s 10 mins of ‘dead- air’ virtually – with you guys filling in with bollox while you waited for your guest speaker and then we got the SHOCKING and HIDEOUS sound of Macavity. I can’t blieve you even put this on the website. Its fucking awful. I am now trying to listen to Macacity screaching the news – ahhhhhhh – gotta turn if off – this episode is a terrible advert for r4nger5 radio. If a new listener started with this they would NEVER listen to it all and it’s unlikely ever listen again…. get rid of Ep 57!!!!

    I did manage to get through the news (by fast forwarding through it) and onto the discussion about camping, which I enjoyed. One thing though – you said that you cannot de-cork wine or open a beer with EU KFS kit – but you CAN with do that with them.. like this one! http://www.ronniesunshines.com/military-cutlery-p-391.html
    This has it all!

    Hmm. a couple of responses need to go here.

    1 – please think about what you say in a blog – other people will read it and do have access. You don’t need to launch such an attack over a few technical difficulties. We are aware we have sound problems sometimes with call in guests – any freak out in this regard is superfluous. We do not edit much, and only take out mentions of people’s real names and extremly long silences. There simply are not enough people to edit and prduce the show in any kind of realistic time frame.

    2 – if you had properly been listening and comprehending the KFS discussion, you would have heard that we were discussing the NEW EU KFS kit, recently issued to NATO troops, not a general KFS set. Whilst this does have a corscrew on some models, the bottle opener is in fact useless for actually opening bottles and cans.

    That is probably not all.

    I DID think about what I wanted to say on the blog.
    I wont ‘edit’ my own thoughts on the matter. As I said before, I thought that the sound ought to have been checked FIRST prior to recording. Technical difficulties I understand but sound like that can be avoided and could have been on this occasion if you had the confidence to say to the guest, “I’m sorry Macavity (or whoever is speaking) but the sound is terrible, we can’t record it like this, we’ll have to do the news for you on this occasion. Perhaps you could join us another time”. Instead of carrying on with a fucking shit sound that creates an very unprofessional start to an otherwise good show!

    I was sure that your philosphy was one that supported the idea people should not be sensored. Please don’t try to sensor me and in the process assume that I had not thought through my comments prior to adding them to this blog.
    The discussion about camping was interesting but it’s unlikley any new listeners would have got that far. I know I wouldn’t!
    I trust you appreciate where I am coming from with this feedback. You have the power to ensure that a quality recording is made. I know that you want to provide quality and I know that I want to listen to good quality recordings too.

    Hi
    I have only just started listening to r4nger5 radio You said that you wanted people to email to say they listen I am from Cornwall but living in London for a year I understand what APIPA is saying about the sound and I was pleased that I did’nt start with your latest recording and I can see why he says it might put people off He was quite harsh about it and maybe because he wants people to listen to it and enjoy it
    I have heard 3 episodes and all of them I have skipped through the news to get to the discussion that is the bit that I like and I can see the reason why it is important so he is really being supporting when he says that I will try and listen to some more when I get the time I have a lot of media to listen to at the moment anyway

    “I DID think about what I wanted to say on the blog.”

    Um no you were just bloody rude, offensive, and downright disrespectful. Let’s hope Macavity doesn’t read into it that you don’t want him on the show again, I thought the other idea was that all guest where welcome barring the two fundamental rules, and maybe you might think how you’d feel if someone wrote that about you the first time your on the show.

    “I trust you appreciate where I am coming from with this feedback. You have the power to ensure that a quality recording is made. I know that you want to provide quality and I know that I want to listen to good quality recordings too.”

    Funny as after listening in, I thought to myself what an interesting brief little interlude, shit goes wrong, technology breaks, shit goes wrong a bit more. Standard rules apply either like it or lump it or make your own.

    I was giving perfectly valid feedback. I would have said the same whoever it was on the show – I stand by my comments.
