A worthy first effort--lots of good material, well presented in a relaxed format.

Some suggestions:

- The show could benefit from having either specific topic segments or regular features (Workout tips, diet tips, common misconceptions, etc.) to make it easier to follow what's going on, as the conversation bounced around quite a bit. Once the show is recorded, you could add a bumper at the front to let listeners know where to fast forward to specific segments of interest to them.

- There were some problems with the phones during the first show, but it would make the program more engaging and interactive if listeners could hear the questions being asked, rather than the host relaying them.

- Provide specific call in times during the show or allow users to IM or email questions to the host so you don't have to interrupt the flow (or a guest) with the news that a caller is on the line asking about another, unrelated topic.

- Michael was an informative host. Good info, good attitude, fun to listen to. He needs to let the guest finish her thoughts, though!

- If this is to be a regular feature on Traineo, perhaps it deserves a tab of its own and a list of show times?

Hi Ron -

Thank you very much for your suggestions and support. They have been forwarded to our team including Michael.

We will be making some of your suggested changes for our next live show, featuring SHAPE fitness editor Linda Shelton, this Wednesday at 10am PST.

We've added the 'Library' tab to include this new content and based on feedback we'll feature Fit Talk more prominently across the traineo site.

Thanks again for your great feedback!

Wow, that was fast! But you folks are always all over it. Best of luck with the show!

Cheers,

Ron

P.S. One other thought: Eventually, you might consider offering the show as a single download and as individual downloadable segments on a single topic, a la Cartalk. This is more work but would allow you to repurpose the content throughout the site--adding segments to an audio library, for example, so users could find everything Traineo has to say about low carb diets, etc.

Hi Alasdair,

This is really great! Thx!

Will this also become a podcast soon? (It's not, just yet) That way we all can subscribe to the feed (& find it right in our iPods or computers automagically), instead of having to 'chase it down'!
