Longbangers 91: Lenny’s Square Go

[matty_f]

Aside from joining the guys at Down the Slope for Harry’s Hibee Quiz, we also recorded episode 91 last night, where we were joined by Recast’s founder and Hibs fan, Andy Meikle to discuss Recast’s partnership with Hibs, fan-led media, his Hibs history, and a brief review of the season so far, the highs, lows, and memorable moments.

Interesting chat and as a result I've signed up for recast and watched the show there.

I'm still a bit lost with it though as being a mere nobody I can't earn credits for sharing so how do I earn credits to allow me to keep watching the pod?

Edit - scrap the above. That very helpful ad on the homepage explains it to thickos like me 😁

Does not seem to be much Hibs content up there, unless I'm looking in the wrong places?

I do like the idea if some man city fans watching a De Bruyne questions clip and then stumbling onto a shortbangers episode 😂

That’s the dream, Dave!! :faf:

Think with the Hibs content they’re still a bit light with COVID restrictions impacting, but from what Andy was saying last night they’ll be looking at is as a platform for players to engage with fans and for the club to get content out quickly.

For us creating content, it’s a really good way to get something (albeit we’ll not be retiring anytime soon) without asking anyone to put their hands on their pocket for Longbangers stuff - and Recast gives us the ability to share that with Hibs, which we do.

The other thing to remember is that the platform itself is brand new, still in beta stage, so everyone is still finding their feet with the content and how to use it.

We’ve got a few things coming up (wee Longbangers sketches, almost) that we’ll put on there and hopefully folk like them and share them.

Yep, its new but it just seems counter productive to go onto partnership with a club but then have next to no content to view for the fans you are asking to sign up?

I know Andy said he was presenting to the players soon so let's hope that changes shortly but for someone like me who isn't a social media nut,don't do Twitter or share things, this platform does not seem to be for me.

Read the above to mean I'm an old git 🙂
