    The AW chat podcast

    I have had a thought for some time now, and wondered where it might be appropriate to ask/suggest. This thread seems to be the ticket.

    I understand about the logistics and safety issues associated with any kind of live chat, so I'm not suggesting that at all. What about an audio podcast? A weekly podcast that could be pushed thru iTunes. A featured model and someone on staff. Probably best to have 3 or 4 people actually, "on mike". Why would I suggest this? Simple: I really, truly enjoy getting to know the ladies (staff and models) as people. I have found them to be remarkably articulate and intelligent, not to mention down right witty!

    What would the format be, you ask? Well, I'd refer you to a couple podcasts that I listen to each week:
    1) Nobody's listening, a podcast that features a guy and a guest host reading funny true stories from listeners, as well as sharing short true stories from their past week, etc. It's really cool to listen to them tell stuff from their past.
    2) ExtraLife Radio, a podcast by a gamer/graphic artist and two of his gamer/graphic artist friends who talk about "geek" and "gamer" things for an hour each week. Yes, it's nerdy, but they are pretty cool and they just obviously enjoy hanging out and talking about what they like. The fact that they are in Utah, North Carolina and Columbia South America, recording over Skype means they have lots of different perceptions as to what is good/bad about "geek" things like movies, tv shows, comics, etc.
    3) Never Not Funny, a podcast by US comedian Jimmy Pardo where he gets a couple friends each week to just talk about their lives, loves and they share funny stories too. It's one of the top podcasts on iTunes.

    Ok, so my idea is to do something like these. Let the moderator ask the model questions about their life, their shoot(s), etc. You could even let the members post questions that would be moderated before the podcast was recorded. I don't think I'm alone in thinking that getting to hear Melinda, or Gabrielle, or any of the ladies talk about what makes them "tick" for an hour would be incredibly awesome. Ok, so I LOVE the accents, but that's just the side benefit. Since we get to ask them questions and share stuff about ourselves on their threads, we already know them to a degree. I just think it would be even more special to get to hear them recount stuff in their own voices.

    That's my 2 cents... Thanks, Z

    P.S. I understand about the possibility of bandwidth and technical logistics being a factor in whether this is feasible, not to mention the time and staff involvement required to make it happen. But, never hurts to ask, eh?

    I suppose if the popularity of the site explodes after Vegas anything is possible - AW chat podcast, AW extra absorbent tissues, AW retirement villa for over the hill models, AW research institute to answer all of laktors questions, AW pest control unit to chase after me ......

        You may be onto something there. The AW site already distributes the video newsletter as a podcast, so this isn't an unfamiliar idea for them. An audio podcast might be worth their while if: A) It also serves as an advertisement for AW, and B) It can get distributed to via podcast directories like this one, creating a new way for prospective members to learn about AW.

        There are plenty of Abby girls who are smart and chatty enough to hold their own in a talk radio-style podcast about various topics related to sex and porn. Gabrielle, Sue-Ann spring to mind.

          But AW's main product is uniquely visual. I don't see how an audio podcast can possibly be an effective advertisement.

            It's not exclusively visual. Part of the appeal of the abby girls is their charm and distinctive personalities and outlooks, and this comes across very well on radio or any similar audio format. (When I first watched the wonderfully chatty Em-Sue Ann pairing, one of my first thoughts is that they would make a great talk-radio team.)

            But the real value of Zonman's podcast idea is that it would let AW put the abbywinters.com brand name and selling proposition in the ears of people who might not have ever heard it, because these podcasts can get listed in directories like the one I linked to. Indeed, as I scan that list of podcasts, I see a few other known brand names from the porn world, so other adult content companies must think that this is a good idea.

            As for content, audio is much cheaper to produce than video, and a podcast could mix in audio repurposed from the video shoots, such as the parts where the models talk about their lives and tell their juicy stories. I think that hearing the sexy voices could only generate interest in seeing the faces they belong to, and the material's already recorded. Add a pair of abby girls to link the content together, and you could produce a very entertaining, promotional half-hour on the cheap.

              Oh I agree, if I had a dollar for every time I've heard members use the term "cute accent", well gee I'd have a least 10 bucks by now... haha, seriously though, the accent seems to be a real winner and an integral part of the uniqueness of the site... The visual element is definitely the major part of the product, but don't discount the audio either ...

              A very interesting idea Zonman, I can certainly see some merit too it ....

              Luv Melinda

                Actually, I wasn't even thinking about the accents, but now that you mention it, yeah... From an American perspective especially, the accents make you Aussies seem exotic, and that only makes you more irresistible.

                  Wasn't there a former AW model (Leandra?) who started a site featuring sexy audio? Did that ever work out? If so, maybe you could have a partnership, their sound studio for AW publicity.

                  I'm still at a loss about what the podcast would be like... sort of like an audio-only version of the video newsletter? "This week at AbbyWinters.com we'll be featuring..." (Which to our American ears sounds like "This week et Ebby Wintahs dawt cawm...")

                    The site is Sonic Erotica, and in fact it's one of the podcasts on that list I found.

                    The format of the AW podcast could be like a radio talk show about topics related to sex and porn. There'd be no shortage of things to talk about. And intercut with this could be the audio from the models shoots that I mentioned earlier. And plenty of mentions of the abbywinters.com site, including a couple of "commercial breaks." Perhaps AW could extend a recent idea from the video newsletters and offer a discount to new members who use a discount code mentioned during the podcast.

                      Thanks guys, for weighing in on my suggestion. For some specifics that I had in mind. 1) for me, at least, the appeal of the accent is rather strong. Yes, that's a pretty mundane part, but really, I know LOTS of folks, at least here in the US that just go crazy hearing folks from Australia or the UK talk. Both men and women. 2) Like I said, I listen to some of the shows I linked above because I enjoy hearing people banter about "whatever". Funny stories, for me at least, is a way to deal with life when there's so much hard-core badness to hear on the radio or TV, thus, I thought it would be nice to hear from the lovely ladies about embarrassing or funny things they've done, seen, experienced, etc. I also would enjoy getting to hear them talk about why they chose to join AW, or do any modeling at all. 3) Since re-reading some of the threads looking for things you might be interested in knowing, like whats their favorite food, music, sports to watch, career plans, major in school, etc. can be really time-consuming, it would be nice to get to know them without having to be on the site. For instance, I can't peruse AW from work without risking my employment. But, a Podcast on my iPod, whilst doing my coding, would be very easy to enjoy.

                      I agree with Rob, that this would give AW some brand-awareness in a segment of market they are currently not in, thus giving them an opportunity to pick up some more intelligent, witty members. And, if the content wasn't necessarily all about porn, it would show that AW has more to offer since they don't cater to the sleaze-factor, but rather to folks who understand that the models are more than just a pretty face or sexy body. They can hear these wonderful ladies "show off" their intellect, wit and humor without the nudity being the drawing factor. I do realize AW "is" about the nudity, but at the same time, we're all here because we understand that these are all very open, honest and awesome people and I think getting to hear their stories, etc would only elevate the AW concept to a higher level and would be another feature that shows AW is not "just porn".
