Guys, He’s not trying to insult you. Lol these comments have to be jokes. If you listen to a Warhammer Podcast, you ARE a NERD. Period. Jeff is calling himself a nerd by implication since he creates the content that he’s calling you a nerd for listening to. Its clearly not a serious insult, but a fun bit of banter between ppl with common interests. If anything its a term of endearment.

Also, Jeff, I think you’re doing a great job and the content is better than ever, I personally like the little bits of non-warhammer content as it breaks up the monotony that can happen when only tournament results and statistics are discussed at the exception of all else. PodHammer strikes a really nice balance. Thanks for the effort for everybody contributing to PodHammer.

And thanks for the mention way back when about the PodHammer dice and me wanting to cheat for LD tests haha.

Just noticed, before anyone jumps on me – the ‘to’ in the last sentence of my last post is obviously meant to read ‘too’.

Damned jinxed keyboards…;)

I don’t know, ‘professionalism’ can be displayed in many ways. Like using correct spelling and punctuation, for instance.

But at the end of the day, this is a free podcast, so to expect a ‘professional’ discussion is perhaps a bit much. I’m also fairly sure that there are multiple warnings on the website warning listeners/surfers not to take Podhammer too seriously, as well as indicating the presence of profanity, etc. I enjoy the podcast – not least because it’s from Australia and it’s free – and I find it’s fine to listen to as I paint or ride on a train, whatever. The ‘nerd’ insults bounce off me because I’m married, have many friends that aren’t hobbyists, and generally try to keep my hobby, much as I love it, just that – a hobby. If pretty harmless labels are really bothering people and hitting close to home, then perhaps they are better off listening to something a little more ‘serious’. Personally, I prefer not to let my hobby get to ‘serious’ – otherwise where’s the fun in it??

Just my humble $0.02.

I agree with Joel the standard of Podhammer pales in comparison to other warhammer podcast right now, Im ok with being called a nerd but im getting a bit sick of it over and over.

Last few podcasts i haven’t really listened to all the way through and i wouldn’t really recommend it, It just seems that this podcast seems like a money making scheme $25 a person for extra content that is not worth the money anyway.

Please improve the podcast or ill simply forget to listen.

You can call me names on the show if you want but that would show your inadequacy of professionalism im used to on other podcasts.

All the best.

To Netter.
I thank you for your response, I clearly see your point, it’s just that I am not inclined to agree. I differentiate between the chat beween friends and the broadcast to an anonymous crowd such as that of a podcasts or radio.
In this case I see civil language as a way to show what level of professionalism you want to put yourself at.
Still, I am well aware that alot of people think differently.

Joel, don’t take things so seriously. Has a friend never told you to f**k off before? Have you not called a friend an idiot? Watch Gran Torino and think it over.

Are you even aware that “nerd” is considered an insult in a major part of the world? Getting abit tired of you debasing your audience.

Listeners must love getting insulted. Well I sure don’t. Not that I get provoked really, just that I will as many others, go to podcasts were they are abit more civil instead. Competition is fierce, please fight abit to keep you listeners.

But don’t take this the wrong way. The ONLY reasons I type these comments are purely selfish ones; I want a “podhammer” that is streamlined to my preferences, since I like listening to warhammer podcasts.
