Ahoy there me hearties! Captain Zuloo and I have taken a break from interviewing someone for today, but don’t fret - we'll have a very exciting interview coming up for next week!

But this week, we still have something very important for you all to help us out with. We are conducting a survey and we would be delighted if you could take a few seconds to tick the appropriate boxes and post your thoughts below.

The more responses, the more we can cater to your wishes, and the better 'Behind the Helm' will become! Many thanks ye scurvy sea dogs, now get ticking and writing!

I have completed the survey.

I prefer to "read" the interview, and listen to the interview "if" I have heard/known the interviewee, with the clear understanding of both interviewer and interviewee's accents. I don't mind if there is a mixture of both audio and text, not indicating that both is compulsory since there is no option for me to select that, ending up selecting "prefer both text and audio".

I rate the programme, as "Excellent".

I think the Behind the Helms should continue with both a text and a voice example. And yes, even as a humble Dutchman I can understand Aussie accents! :pir-tongue:

You two are doing a great job together, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming episode! Keep it up! :thumbup:

I prefer to read the interview aswell. To include Audio is a nice addition, but for myself, I would not want to see an Audio Only format. I rated this feature as Excellent, because I find them very interesting, and hope that you continue to do more!

I rate your interviews as good, i don't listen often as i am most of the times listing to music or watching tv when i read them.
I'd still like some more comedy and funny stuff in them, as it would make reading them a big laugh as well as being informative. (Yeah i'm not the serious type on my own time.) And oh yeah i can mostly understand your accent, we have crocodile hunter and crocodile dundee on TV here too. :pir-grin:

So there's my 2 cents, keep it up ozzies! :thumbup:

Why do you need TLC to make sets for you, all you really need is parts...be creative!

I have completed your excellent poll Cutlass_Iz :thumbup:

.

I prefer to read the the interview personally. Simply because I prefer to read the interview because it's fairly short. I don't really listen to the audio version at all but have done for a few of the members that I think may be more interesting. Accents, what accents? Queens English, no less. (<-- don't get the joke, you're probably not British :pir-grin:

). I think both text and audio will be the most successful for Classic-Pirates. Some members prefer audio, some text. Best of them all! This is probably my favourite EB interview show.

I prefer to at least have the interview available in text format, because it is much easier to scan relatively quickly. No problems with accents here... :pir_laugh2:

Keep up the good work Zullo and Iz.

Ah now that is just plain sexist! :pir-hmpf_bad:

Poor Zuloo, he'll never get over this you know. You've ruined his lifelong dream of being your secretary Zorro. :pir_laugh2:

Is Phes still the main boss or is Governor just a honorary rank?

Behind the Helm is going great, in my opinion nothing needs to be changed, you two are doing an A1 job :thumbup:

Mr. Phes would be a great person for the chair next (And I don't mean the electric chair :pir-tongue:

Mister Phes is a mystery man who seems never to be around when he is needed, that's all I will say on him being the big boss. :pir_laugh2:

Regarding an interview with Mister Phes, he unfortunately doesn't have the means for an interview, so that's something that isn't likely to happen in the near future. :sad:
