The Big Show
This is a self proclaimed 'couplecast' that runs for about an hour. It features Aaron and Jenny who are a married couple. The show has been running for some time and as of the time of writing they have put 80 shows out; no mean feat for a media that has only really been up and running for around two years.
I listened to show #79 which ran for a little over an hour. The sound quality was listenable without being excellent. The host's voices sounded slightly distorted and the phone messages that were played in the show were of a poor sound quality. The show is produced with show notes, however these are not strictly adhered to.
This is a light-hearted podcast that is inoffensive and the hosts adopt a very laid back style. Topics discussed in the show I listened to ranged from incidents that had happened in the couple's week, very brief movie reviews, a discussion of the hysteria around the Da Vinci Code, the Dixie Chicks and listener feedback.
It took me about 15 minutes to acclimatise to this podcast. I think this was partially due to the fact that nothing of substance was really discussed in the first 10-15 minutes of the show besides how hot the weather was and singing happy birthday to someone on the show.
I enjoyed the discussion about the Dixie Chicks and how they have been exiled by many country radio stations because of their political beliefs. Also of interest were the personal stories from the host's lives.
It was clear that this couple are very genuine and nice people. For me, though, this was not enough to sustain my interest as the show was too slow-paced for my liking. The stories told lacked the necessary detail to effectively sustain my interest and make me want to subscribe to this show. I feel that this is another podcast that lacks the required content to last the scheduled length of the show.

Isn't it wonderful that we humans can be exposed to exactly the same stimulus and have completely different reactions?
I really don't disagree with your review. The Big Show is laid back. Aaron and Jenny do ramble a little sometimes. However I like both of those things. I find the best 'couplecasts', and I do place The Big Show in that group, are a little like being able to eavesdrop on an evening (or morning or whatever) at home with that couple. I enjoy two people who like each other discussing the events of the day and their lives. I guess it's a little like reality TV for my iPod (strangely though I hate most reality TV).
Did the episode you listened to have Dead or Alive (quiz)? If not, give another episode a go. Dead or Alive is great fun.
I have probably listened to 40 different podcasts that can be classed 'couplecasts' and only a handful have stayed on my subscription list. The Big Show is one of 'em.
Also, Tim can I ask what equipment you listen to your shows on? You always seem to have a comment on sound quality and I can honestly not tell the difference between most of the shows I listen to. I always listen on my iPod, usually while outside and I'm wondering if that's why I don't hear the nuances that you seem to pick up on.
Hi Bernadette,
please don't take my review as knocking these people for what they do (though I don't think you are). I respect them for what they do but have to be honest in giving my review and opinions in a hopefully respectful way.
I ulisten to podcasts on my iriver 512 meg MP3 player. I can definitely tell the difference between the sound quality from podcast to podcast. I wouldn't call the sound quality of this cast terrible but I have herad better.
Regards,
Tim
I have to say I agree with your review Tim. I think you worded things rather nicely, probably a little nicer than I would have. I think this couples casts is rather slow and is very boring. It's more of a rainbow & butterflies couple that seems to be disconnected from reality. I've tried more than once to give them a chance, and yes I've heard dead or alive game. It's not doing it. Classifying this as a reality show is like saying the Brady Bunch was a reality show. Honestly I think the Brady Bunch had a little more spice to it. I would recommend this podcast to my grandmother maybe.
Tim,
No I didn't think you were knocking them...it was a review pure and simple. Just thought I'd spark some of that listener interaction that we both seem to want.
You must have much better ears than me...It has to be really obvious for me to even notice the audio quality!
As for anonymous...all I gotta say is that a world without rainbows and butterlies would be a sad one.
Ok, say what you will about my show but calling us rainbows and butterflies is pretty lame. Obviously, you haven't heard the thunderstorm and wasps shows that we've had where my wife has lost the baby she was carrying twice. That happy enough for you? Maybe we make things fun on our show because we A: think talking about sex all the time is extremely boring and lacking any origionality. B: We want the people who listen to our show to feel like they can have fun and relax with us. If people wanted to hear about the real problems in life, they'd just turn us off and turn on the news. I appreciate what Tim had to say about the show, I disagree with it but at least he's being fair and he wasn't attacking. But saying we are disconnected from reality is bullshit, sorry but that is. Would you really rather hear us talk about our bills and my mother's back problems? How about my bouts of depression, wanna hear about that? I think our show is extremely honest and real, far more than many of the shows out there that have 20X our audience size. I apologize for nothing and I can't wait to have your grandmother listen, I'm sure she'll have a fun time and enjoy every second.
Tim,
Do a show, establish yourself as an authority, learn to write, and then only then could I take you serious.
You just give me a headache everytime I see you post! Stop it! My head hurts!!
Anonymous,
Grow a pair of stones and stop posting as anonymous.

Tim
"It took me about 15 minutes to acclimatise to this podcast."
You say that as though that was too long a time, I contend it is way too short. This is a show that really grows on you. Any listener giving it a little bit of time to get "acclimatized" find as I have, that it really grows on you.
You too will end up wondering about the misadventures of their wacky landscaper, wait for more of their experiences at their neighborhood coffee shop, and really care about the outcome of their local mayor's race.
Yes, this show has a relaxing pace, but that is one of its best features, and speaks to its past and future endurance. Me? I'm going to pull up a chair, kick back, and keep listening...

I had no words to say. I just moved on top of her and hugged her right from top to bottom.
My naked body wanted to feel every inch of her body, and I was caressing her all over like mad.
free tiffany lolita soon began to respond with equal vigor, Her right palm reached my rigid japanese blowjob and began pumping it slowly.
I was so damn horny, but I did not want to waste my semen, just masturbating. I wanted more...I wanted to fuck my cousin there and then.
"Oh free lolita porn...this is too much...I don't think I can keep my promise...please let me remove your panty and let me feel my kiddy sex fuck on your pussy"...I pleaded.
To my utter surprise, without any resistance, free pedo tpg raised her hips, and in a swift action removed her panty.
"You will only feel your pedo russian around my pussy...not inside..OK?" Jenna Jameson Porn insisted.
I almost got angry, and said "OK, but let me play with your tits at least," and moved my pedophile fucking towards her cleavage.
I had no patience to seek her permission. I just pulled her bra straps and and quickly exposed he huge melons.
My mouth instinctly reached her left breast while my right hand was at her right tit. I sucked her like an infant,
expecting to find milk, while my palm was squeezing and kneading her other tit.
My sister and I love each other, but we fight constantly. We're always saying something rude about one other's hair, clothes, whatever, it doesn't matter, we quarrel. It's getting to the point were free celebrity sex clip will put in ear plugs if he's home with us for too long.
The other night, we thought Daddy might turn us over on his knee like he did when we were younger. We were in the bathroom, standing side by side. I looked over and up at my sister; I hated the fact that she was taller than me. She stands five foot seven inches tall, and I a mere five foot even. I think I also resented the fact that she was older than me. We're two years apart, she's 21 and I'm 19. We both have red hair, blue eyes, and freckles, some people have mistaken us for twins, but we're a year apart. Our bodies are different, she doesn't have much in the way of boobs, 36A, is all her cup size is, and I tease her about it all the time. Me, my boobs are a 36D. She doesn't have much in the way of hips either, very narrow she is, and I tell her she looks like a boy, which pisses her off. I got the better body entirely, I have a very shapely figure, and no one could ever mistake me for a boy. I was telling her that she needed to change her outfit, or buy clothes that fit her better. All her clothes drape o
ff of her like potato sacks; she was yelling at me, telling me that I dressed like a slut and I should be more conservative, when free childporn gallery burst through the door.
"That's enough! I want to hear no more from either one of you! You are driving me insane! You two are too old for this!"
My sister's first reaction is to get defensive and I let her go first.
"Dad, she started it!"
I looked up at Daddy sheepishly.
"No I didn't Daddy. I was just being honest. I can't help it if she can't stand to hear some criticism."
Daddy looked down at me. He knew what I was doing, but he always sided with me.
"You aren't dressed very well at all, free cross stitch patterns."
"You always side with her!"
She turned and gave me a mean look and I stuck my tongue out at her.
"Jessica! That's enough from you too."
I put my eyes down and nodded my head.
"Sorry Daddy I won't do it again."
My sister humphed my way and I moved past her. I stood on my tiptoes and kissed Daddy's cheek. "Sorry to make you angry Daddy."
He patted me on the head and smiled down.
"It's okay Darling. I just wish you two girls would get along."
"I'll try real hard Daddy."
I gave him another kiss, and as I got back behind him I stuck my tongue out at my sister again.
"Daddy! Look! Look what she's doing!"
Daddy didn't turn around.
"That's enough free digimon hentai pic! Get on out of here and go to bed!"
The bickering continued of course, until there was a break when Eliza was out with her boyfriend. I was in my room, reading and listen to music, actually enjoying the fact that she wasn't at home. I really hated fighting with her, but I couldn't ever stop myself from doing it. I heard the front door close and Eliza run up the stairs. I also heard Daddy yelling.
"Eliza, is everything alright?"
"Fine, Daddy, everything's fine!"
From the tone of her voice I knew she was okay. So, I went back to reading. I only got a few lines into the book when my door burst open and in came Eliza looking all flushed and fluttered.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
I fought with my sister a lot but I felt protective over her as well.
"Nothing. Well, okay something happened, but it wasn't wrong."
"What? You lost me somewhere in there."
"Oh Jess, it was fuckin' great!"
My eyes widened, my sister doesn't speak like that.
"Okay, what was it? C'mon you gotta tell me!"
"I did it."
I watched Eliza go to the door, check the hall, and then close the door completely.
"You did what?"
"You know!"
"No, I don't. What did you do?"
"Don't make me mad! Not tonight!"
"I'm not trying to make you mad; I don't know what the hell it is you're talking about."
"I had sex."
"Oh, that it?"
"What do you mean, is that it?"
"Well, by the way you came in here I thought maybe you'd had the shit fucked outta ya or something. Just having sex isn't anything special."
"You've had sex before?"
