Hey gang, I need a short survey here. I just recorded the interview and main portion of the next upcoming podcast to be hosted at (www.dpcpodcast.com) and my co-host and I got off on a little adult humor after discussing the yellow ribbon winner for Fire II this week. The adult humor comes and goes throughout the podcast but there is no swear words. My question is, do we leave potentially offensive off color humor in or do I edit it all out to be family friendly. If I were to give this show a rating I would say it's PG-13....nothing more than the typical inuendo you might hear in a typical American television sitcom but still might be offensive to children. I think DPC has a minimum age requirement and if it's over 14 I think it is a moot point. Still, please give me feedback before I do my final edits...leave some mild adult humor or edit it out?

well, obviously from my forum posts, it's fine with me. But, maybe you should add a disclaimer at the begining or in the Tag to make sure ppl don't get into trouble at work or have sensitive ears in the area.
Just my two cents

I'd say, leave it in.
Maybe add a warning?
"Right now we're gonna talk dirty. Please slide to 12 minutes - 53 seconds (or whatever) if you don't want to listen to some mild adult humor."

| Thanks for the feedback so far. I'd like more if anyone wants to sound off. I would of course put a disclaimer on the post to the podcast letting everyone know that it contains some adult humor and possibly even record a warning in the podcast itself as suggested. Anyone else? |

| I say go for it, just put a warning up so that no one can complain that they weren't warned. |

Considering some of the things talked about here (yes you Fotoman!) I wouldn't sweat it too much. Putting the disclaimer in the description will be enough.
I mean, it can't be worse than the sh!t we watch on TV! And that's the Simpsons!

Just another idea... how much problem would it be for you to prepare two seperate podcast... one editted, the other not?

| Doing two edits of the podcast would be difficult. I'm already trying to do more in one take and less editing so the podcast doesn't run my life. After all, I have to have time for photography too. The big problem is the humor often comes in the middle of a discussion and is important to the overall discussion so clipping it out leaves a huge obvious hole unless I also cut out the lead in and the follow up to the offensive section. |

| Since these aren't hosted here at DPC it shouldn't matter. If you post a link to the podcast in a DPC forum thread just put a disclaimer/warning/etc... in the text of the forum post. |

I'm gonna come across as a wet blanket here, and say I think it's fairly sad if we can't even do podcast interviews of our members without sinking to the level of profanity and sexual innuendo. This is a broadly-based site, culturally, and I'd like to think we can keep the bar a little higher than that.
But that's just me: and I can't even HEAR the podcasts so what does my opinion count?

| Just to clarify, the podcast does not contain profanity that I know of...but sexual inuendo it does. As a general rule it is hard to comment on a photo that was taken to have sexual inuendo and not also therefore be sinking to level of sexual inuendo. However, we're guilty of more than that because it sort of set us off on the wrong foot for the rest of the podcast. Unfortunately it is my actual personality to joke about this kind of stuff so it comes very natural and when I have a guest or co-host that encourages it then it's hard to not "be myself." I'm still fielding comments....keep 'em comin'. |

Wow...I didn't know that. I was going to create a profile for my 10 year old daughter but thought it said she was too young so I told her she can't be part of DPC yet. Interesting.
I know there is an adult filter button you can check on your personal profile so you don't see adult photos unless you want to. Can the same thing be done for forum post linking to the file I wonder? |

oh pulease.
turn on the TV on whatever channel and there will be sex. with some bad luck; click on a random link and there will be sex.
If this is an issue for children, it shouldn't be. I may assume parents are there when children are browsing through the www. I think I'd better change my profile-pic then.
Adults should be adult enough to know what they want to listen to or not.

I have to agree with Bear. I have listened to the podcast in the past and found them good, informative, funny, and insightful. All that without going to the level of profanity and/or sexual innuendo. We have a wide variety of users here and age range starts from children to seniors. I know you could put a disclaimer on the thread but I'm sure it would leave some out some that did not want to hear such things or to young to be put in the position to hear them.
Other than that keep up the good work. I have enjoyed your podcast.

| good point biteme...and if the parent is present they can be sure to tell the underager that they have to preview the podcast first if they want to listen to it. I usually keep them under 30 minutes anyway. :) My point is similar to yours, I don't know that we said anything you can't get from watching sitcoms on any given channel. Our Humor isn't Bob and Tom dirty (for those who know of the Bob and Tom show) nor is it shock jock dirty...it's just suggestive for the sake of humor. Then again, everyone's sense of humor is different. I doubt Bob and Tom took a survey first to see if listeners would be offended if they sang songs about underwear. LOL |

I'm currently doing a couple of text interviews which will shortly become available on the site as "official" DPC interviews. I can't imagine publishing anything off-color or of a sexual nature in one of those. Since the podcasts you're talking about are evidently not "official" DPC podcasts, I'd say do whatever you want, but keep in mind that you want to build broad appeal for something like this.
I write for publication in other arenas too, and my rule of thumb is to keep it to the standards expected for newspaper and family magazine-type readership. IOW, keep it clean.

Judging by LJ's wording, it isn't a big deal, so I wouldn't call it "sinking" to an undesirable level.
I'm with the "keep it & include a warning" camp. |

| Keeping in mind that the true test will be AFTER it airs this weekend. I always ask for feedback on the forums and if the majority think it was over the top I'll go to no nonsense humor. If the majority find it tastefully done we'll ride the fine line for a while. |

I didn't know there was a DPC podcast, I looked it up on iTunes and it didn't find anything.

| The first couple of podcasts where hosted temporarily on a different server than they are now. The new podcasts will all be at www.dpcpodcast.com and I believe we are working on getting the show added to iTunes at the moment. |

I'm with Bear on this, except my lugholes work OK...
Whilst I love innuendo, I feel that because this is a broadbased community and we need to repect and embrace this diversity.
Others have pointed out that Innuendo can be found everywhere on TV.
This is true, but it is done to titilate and generate revenue through greater viewing numbers for the advertiser, which I believe goes against the basic modus operadi of DPC.
If, however, we look at the code of conduct models for most public Service TV, we find that they are more "straight laced" when it comes to sexual overtones and innuendo. This is the model which I feel is more akin to DPC and I feel we should follow these geneeral approach.
What ever the final outcome I look forward to the next podcast and hope that you have cracked the problem to allow both sides of the interview the interview to be lheard on a single mono speaker... |
