At the Buzzer Focus Group

This week marks the one-year anniversary of At the Buzzer’s first episode.

It’s kinda surprising to look back and see that much ground behind us. That first episode (which was terrible, by the way) ended up leading into 30 more over the course of 12 months. More importantly, the quality and regularity got much better.

As we’ve continued to put up more shows, we’ve started getting a variety of letters and comments from listeners. All things considered, I’m appreciative of anyone who takes the time to do something with ATB, whether that means simply listening in or sending us something for Buzz In.

Still, we’re always looking to improve. With that in mind, I’m using the time after our first year of business to ask for something more. Consider it a survey of sorts, a poor man’s focus group, where you tell us what you like and don’t like in the show. Your input has made a difference before. For example, the intro used to be twice as long before folks said “hey, that’s dumb and you’re dumb.” But this is on a much bigger scale.

So I’m asking fans of the show to take a few minutes and respond to this questionnaire. If you’re diligent, you can answer every question. If you’re less familiar with the program or you’re leaving for a hot date in a few minutes, you can answer only the ones you feel strongly about. Or you can give some kid a dollar and let him mash on the keys for a while.

One thought on “At the Buzzer Focus Group

  1. I love the show – of course I love the boys. Yes, I’m the Mom. I have to say that, but I mean it from my heart. I am very proud of what they have put together over the year and all their hard work. My favorite part of the show is the headlines. I love the quirky stories you find and the different opinions you all have.
    I appreciate the way you three have grown over the year to become so well versed in some many subjects and work so well together to make a conversant show. (Even when David and Shawn are cutting each other down!)
    Becareful about too many guests on the show – too many voices cause overload of words and the listener cannot comprehend.
    I listen either on itunes or stitcher – depends on where I am when I listen.
    I would like to see more sports, politics and current events along with the headlines.
    Keep up the good work –
    Oh – and I still vote for Lucky Charms – come on Kix only has one shape. Where’s the diversity in that?????
