5 Ways Joe Biden Can Make His Bad Podcast Better

I suggest using puppets, voice over and an interviewer from CNN or MSNBC.

Anyone remember Kukla, Fran and Ollie? Look them up on YouTube and you will get the idea.

Ollie was just a sock puppet. Oh wait. You’re right. So is Joe.

My 5 top ways Biden can make his podcasts better:

5.) Redirect the URL to the Whitehouse

4.) Have a staffer read the podcast

3.) Let the camera roll with no one in front of it.

2.) Leave the lens cap on the camera

1.) Make sure all camera batteries are dead.

Yes, and after that, Paul Winchell with Jerry Mahoney and Knucklehead Smith. Then Soupy Sales and The Adventures of Superman

My quest: have the Joe Biden podcast experience and see how many hits it gets. Here's my report so you don't have waste your time doing the same.I'm sitting here watching Netflix so I'm on my smartphone posting, sort of the way young folks use the internet these days. (Normally, I'm at a computer.) I went looking for Biden's podcast. First, I searched for, intentionally using Google, sort of the way young folks blindly give personal data to Google these days. (Normally I use DuckDuckGo). My search was "Joe Biden Podcast", no quotes. The first result is Biden's campaign site ad. No mention of the podcast in the ad. I click on it. The first thing that comes up is a form to join the campaign. The top right of the screen is a bright red Donate button, I assume it's a button, I'm not pressing it. It's flat w/o a border, maybe this is a donation page. No matter, I ain't going there. The very top of the screen upon third inspection (had to go back to describe this), is the text "Return to JoeBiden.co" and it is obscured by the text, "Powered by Blue State Digital", which is clearly readable, JoeBiden.com is not. The screen isn't properly sized to be mobile friendly.

Ok, I heard about this podcast thingy, and Biden wants me to give him money, and join his campaign, but no podcast! I backout to Google. Next search result is this article, with a frowning face pic of Biden. The title if you note is "5 Ways Joe Biden Can Make His Bad Podcast Better". As the young folks used to say, when they were young, "epic fail!"

I go into the article to get the link to the podcast. A campaign donation screen comes up, but I'm able to dismiss it. I finally get to the podcast, it's audio only. My 20 year old mind is saying, what kind of low tech crap is this? My seasoned mind tells me, Biden has a bunch of screw ups working for him that have zero attention to detail.

Bottom line, Quid Pro Joe ain't getting his message out, and young digital natives will give up looking for his podcast. And by the way, there are no stats on listeners to the podcast. That's all I wanted to see when I went searching. The stupid shit doesn't realize if he is hosting his own content you can fudge the number of hits it has received.

By comparison, Trump is meticulous about detail, and when you work for him, you don't get to F'up on simple things, like SEO and site design twice.

Heh. Forerunners to Kermit and company ...

You make me feel old.

Like I've said before - the only place I've seen anything detailed about his basement chats are right here on FR. Sometimes bits of them on Tucker, Hannity, Laura I.'s shows, but the bulk of it posted on FR. The message is not getting out, and it's looking suspiciously on purpose. Just give old Joe some make-work, and put out softball press releases about it to create a controlled buzz that he's still around.

"Act like a government in waiting" is why this is failing. The american political system is not a parlimentary system. There are no "shadow governments" in U.S. politics. Biden is acting like he is in office when he is not.

Podcasting like this is a losing strategy. If he were smart, he would be running online town halls in the remaining states to secure the nommation. Then coordinate with his allies in congressional on what to say regarding Coronavirus.

[ConservativeInPA]

and it's looking suspiciously on purpose.

That thought had crossed my mind more than once. It raises the question, is Biden in on the deception, or is he really that clueless? He seriously can't get anything correct. How do you find so many screwups to work for a campaign? Someone is bound to do something right by accident. It's has to be a setup.

Someone is bound to do something right by accident.

 

And there it is. Having a screw up after screw up is defying odds. It don't compute. And why aren't the links to his chats to be found anywhere and everywhere - you shouldn't be able to go around social media without some banner popping up "To see Biden's latest message click here!" Why isn't it like Obama, when he was running - it was a freaking nightmare, you couldn't get away from him anywhere. Your fruitless expedition at trying to easily find something is very telling.

Only thing that comes to mind is that I hope this deception backfires. Every plan has risks, and fooling the majority of the voting populus and getting caught is a huge risk. And then, all the people who voted for Biden in the primaries are disenfranchised.

1. Yoko, Yoko, Yoko.
2. Nails on a blackboard.
3. Howling cats in heat.
4. Redub Lancelot Link Secret Chimp with Biden's voice
5. More dead air - less Biden.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

My five recommendations would be:

1. Don’t do a podcast.
2. Don’t do a podcast.
3. Don’t do a podcast.
4. Don’t do a podcast.
5. Don’t do a podcast.

And if you find any pods in your basement, Joe, run like hell. Your “open world borders” invaders have arrived and they’re looking for you, or have they already taken you over and nobody noticed?

2 Teach ninja chain fighting techniques
3 Have Corn Pop cohost
4 Never become sedentary. Always keep moving
5 Have one camera zoom in on your leg hair looking for any rise.

#1-5. Don’t have Biden be on it.

[dennisw]

I’ll eat my hat and your hat if Cuomo is not the Dem’s nominee. Biden will bow out gracefully at some point. Either before or during the Dem’s convention.

[ObamaMustGo2012]

It will be Hillary. The DNC will arrange a brokered convention, or remove Biden for medical reasons. Then, Queen Hillary swoops in. This way, she gets the nomination without having been attacked for her corruption during the primaries. Hey, she’s been losing weight and supposedly has stopped drinking large quantities, so count on it.

It won’t be the nipple-ring-wearing Cuomo, as Northeast Liberals like he and Bloomberg have NO support in the south or in the flyover states. Biden is just “biden” his time as the good soldier, albeit the demented one, that he is.

Those aren’t half bad commercials.

I prefer the Emu ones.
