LSU Podcasts-What Attracts You, What Turns You Off?

Seems like there are more options than ever.
I get my fill from YouTube but listen more than actually watch.
Some are highly produced with slick openers, great graphics, well decorated studios with sponsors galore.
Others are less so, one or two guys giving opinions on whatever is on their minds.
Quite a few who go live seem to take a while to get to any substance as far as LSU talk goes, enough to make me wonder if they are doing so deliberately for people to find them or to trigger something in the algorithm.
—
*My personal preferences:
Short intros
Interesting hosts (enthusiastic, great story tellers)
Fresh takes - New Info
Good clear audio
Good lighting
Occasional graphic large enough to read
*My turn-offs:
2 minute intros
Taking 10 minutes to get up to speed
Monotonous delivery & rambling
Indignation/annoyance
Poorly thought out or researched opinions
Having a take and re-stating it 6 or 7 times (just filling time)
Poor lighting, Poor sound
Not sourcing info gleaned from elsewhere
—
I’d be interested in knowing what others like or dislike in their LSU podcasts. It’s booming right now, replacing tv and radio shows for many fans hungry for content.
(Shout out to Ray-Ray in Dry Prong, Kilbourne, Grosse Tete, Fourchon, Amite etc)

Why is this title so erotic?

Taking more than two minutes to get to subject matter bothers me.
Personal vendettas displayed for us to see.
^these two turned me off of one guy in particular.
Also
In-video ads followed by youtu be commercials.

The barrier to entry for podcasting is pretty low, but the bar is pretty high to produce one that is consistently compelling and engaging. The biggest challenge is finding a host that is engaging, articulate, a good interviewer, and has actual insights into the topic of the podcast. I find a lot of sports podcasts are really just a couple of meatheads sitting around talking about stuff that really isn't very interesting. You basically have to listen an entire podcast of bullshite filler to get a couple of tidbits of interesting information. I've also listened to a lot of podcasts on topics that are really interesting, have really interesting guests, but suck because the host/interviewer is terrible. I've tried to listen to a few of the LSU podcasts and they generally have all these problems.
If I want good LSU information, I just come here.

I haven’t found any that I love or hate. Except Blake Ruffino. I can’t listen to that fake try hard.

With the advent of the “super chat” feature it seems we’re getting more listener/viewer interaction but 99.9% of the time it’s useless commentary, just people paying to hear their name called out.
And I understand it’s another minor revenue stream for the hosts. But at the end of the day most times it brings nothing of substance of the show.

At the beginning say what you’re going to discuss in that episode like the evening news does.

Just talk about sports, preferably local teams and I’m happy
