    Enjoy hotclicks in the AM. Listen to ~zero podcasts.

    I know Bill Simmons, and sir, YOU are NO Bill Simmons. Sorry bud, but you dont really do much.

    Wow. Jimmy is getting PWN3d hard in here. I agree with the other posters though. Jimmy is like a NY version of Simmons (meaning he talks about NY way too much like Simmons talks about Boston - it alienates the 300 million Americans who DON'T live there.), minus any of the work or talent. HE POSTS LINKS THAT ARE EMAILED TO HIM BY OTHER PEOPLE FOR A LIVING! In a time where 15% of the people in my region are unemployed, you have a job like this! Wow, you're lucky. So yeah, stick to hot clicks. I would NEVER listen to your podcast.

    Sounds like the majority of the group are against the podcast. I'm with that majority. I have nothing against you Jimmy (big fan of Hot clicks), but with podcasts in general. Suddenly every writer thinks they have a voice for radio which is definitely not the case. This includes Bill Simmons. His nasally / smarmy voice makes my ears bleed. The last thing I need is him rambling on about his Boston sports teams for an hour. He does enough of this in his columns.

    Look's like it's Hot Clicks first mailbag. Brutally honest replies, I love it.

    How would we get pics of hot women in a podcast? Maybe a vlog, you could at least show the videos and punk on them real-time, and still show hot women. But a podcast is so 2007, IYAM.

    In fact, no offense, but even saying that you "write" Hot Clicks is pushing it. I bet a lot of people claim they can do what you do, and frankly, a decent number of them are probably right.

    Yeah, I think Simmons Partisan is being a little bit mean, but to be honest, I agree with him/her completely. Listening to podcasts isn't like listening to the radio, for which listeners casually jump around from station to station; people generally only listen to podcasts for their favorite writers/artists/whomever. While you may indeed be a witty fellow, so far this is not at all evident in Hot Clicks.

    The Simmons comparison is probably a little unfair, since he is perhaps America's most popular sportswriter, but even in his mailbags he does more than simply answer reader questions: he augments the letters with his own jokes and material. I realize this sounds harsh, but all you really do is compile Internet links, many of which you didn't even find yourself. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Hot Clicks a great deal, but I see no reason to listen to your podcast.

    Remember when Jose Canseco tried pitching?

    Jimmy:

    You are great at hot clicks. I look at this every day when I get to work and watch the videos when I get home. In fact I used to look at Espn, but since finding hot clicks I haven't even watched sportscenter.

    Do what you are good at!

    Only if you continued to plug us by spelling out our web address repeatedly on the 5s.

    You're not bill simmons. His podcasts are funny and smart, like his columns. You aggregate random, barely related links from the internet that are sometimes funny. It's the internet. It's not hard to find random and sometimes funny stuff.

    There's no way of knowing if we will listen or not. If they are good, people will listen. If they aren't good podcasts, obviously not.

    Hot Clicks is part of my morning routine of surfing before I start to work. Podcasts aren't.

  • Coach Childress - 15 years ago

    I can't drag my work computer into the crapper to listen to your podcast, so please stick to the written word. Don't mess with a good thing.

    Bill Simmons tries to shirk his work by doing podcasts of conversations he'd probably normally have throughout the course of his day anyway. He just tapes them and calls it work, and his writing has suffered because since he feels he's done his job for the day, no need to write.

    Not only that, but your readers are at work. Podcasts just ain't the same. I never listen to any of his, ever.
