LiquidDota Special Podcast - Liquid`Jerax Interview
No one can have missed the fact that Team Liquid picked up a new Dota 2 squad just before the qualifiers for the majors. Your hosts, Aegis and GrandPyromania, managed to get an interview with Liquid`Jerax where they touch on most things Dota in his life.
Wow, 10/10 podcast, and I'm not just saying that because I'm extremely biased either.
Hope you all enjoy, and as per usual, please leave any feedback for us to go through! We're hoping to be way more frequent as the show has been rebooted.
Too many Yeahs. Also, you should prep both your questions and your sintax, more than once you got really messy when trying to word some simple question. Aside from that it's good to have you back, but I liked the"talking" format of the previous one better than this "interview" format. Lastly Jerax, if you are reading this please don't be so emo XD

The thinking is that future podcasts will use the "talking" format. We had an opportunity to interview Jerax and decided that would be a nice kick-off to the reboot.
I enjoyed it and it was quite interesting. I learned quite a few things I didn't know about Jerax and his team(s)!
Some feedback:
Sometimes I think the hosts weren't sure on who should ask the next question so there were a few unnecessary silences while they were both waiting. It's understandable though especially if they can't see each other and it will probably get better with more experience.
Also, as Dekalinder said, sometimes the person asking a question wasn't phrasing it very well and it got a little confusing at times. I also think this will definitely get better with more podcasting experience though
You suck at interviewing! You cannot expect to make some half-clear comment/question and expect the man getting interviewed to spill all his beans, simply it does not work that way. Especially, if your subject is a pro gamer who just woke up from his sleep early just for the interview after a long night of DOTA. Besides, It is clear from your voice that you are not excited to interview him which makes your subject even less willing to continue the interview, especially true if your subject is a sleepy pro gamer. Please watch "Coffees with Toffees" for proish/amateur DOTA 2 interviews, the man makes his homework before the interview and conveys excitement to the interviewed. And please tell the co-caster to stop re-phrasing everything interviewed person says, it is annoying and unproductive, he should build upon ideas that interviewed says and maybe come up with another related question, not to repeat them in different words which is a dead-end every time.
I told these cause I want very few content creators DOTA 2 has to be more successful, the community needs you guys. Comments are harsh but made with good intentions.

Thank you for the criticism, I can completely understand and agree with your points.
