Cane and Rinse Feedback
Posted: May 11th, 2024, 12:58 am
I'm guessing I'm not the only one, it's kind of inevitable with the format but I don't listen to every episode. I sort of dip in and out, I can go months not listening to anything and then come across an episode about one of the thousands of games that had an impact on me and I'm in.
Happens every time (recently with Ghostbusters/BruceLee) where I remember just how good this podcast is, I know there are other retro podcasts out there but I presume they are more about the reminiscing rather than the breaking down of the origin, the differences between the conversions, the impacts they made etc.
I have some feedback. A few things if I may (please tell me if I'm missing/not aware of a feature or something);
1 - It's not just a podcast anymore, it has become an exhaustive library (or database). I wonder if this could eventually be reflected in the name/branding to really instantly communicate to newcomers that there is probably a podcast for 'every' game.
2 - Most importantly. I dream about a search bar being the star and center of the homepage. Where you can easily search any game and either get a link to the devoted podcast first with additional smaller links to where else it comes up such as sausage factory etc OR if the game has not had a devoted podcast yet, perhaps create a way of allowing the user to officially make a request for the backlog.
I tried searching skool daze, the only way I could find to do this was via https://caneandrinse.com/full-podcast-listing/ where I had to use the internet browser to 'find' and see what came up in the results. I know the home page has a little search bar but if I type 'Ico' I have to scroll down to the 10th entry to find the devoted podcast. C&R is at such a stage now where more of a database/library kind of search would suit the format.
I get it though, you'd probably need a software engineer and maintenance etc. I would just love C&R to have those resources, what you have created deserves them.
I basically want to be able to share the main site address and say to people 'Go here, search a game you're really fond of.' and it be incredibly simple/intuitive.
Here, I quickly doodled my dream C+R homepage. Love what you're doing, it's incredibly special and important (Don't tell TCGS I said that)
