i forgot to mention something from my notes (yes, i am a total UFR nerd. i take notes in my cell phone while listening so i don’t forget things i want to mention on the boards).

thank you for sharing your insight on podcasting’s power due to its separation from the pressure of corporations. i think that podcasts are such and important medium, and you put it so eloquently.

mad props. see ya!

still number one podcast in my book!

i’m not a thrill ride seeker, but the two scariest rides i ever let myself be convinced to ride were actually not that bad. i really liked space mountain b/c it’s all in the dark so you couldn’t see what was coming. i also liked the flume ride at sea world in orlando. if you haven’t ridden that one, it’s well worth it. you’ll see why once you ride it.

great to have russ back! in the mike & the mad dog review, russ’ description of the show about how it’s different from the miasma of sports talk radio programs (that is, its absent of much of the ridiculousness of guys shouting opinions at each other) is the reason i actually really want to give mike & the maddog a listen. i hate sports talk radio, always have, but this sounds very refreshing. thanks, russ!

thanks for another golden cast, everyone! see you on 44!!!

Hope all is well!

For exciting rides though, I don’t think anything will top the leaning ferris wheel that I rode on in Mexico (the lean was not intentional). With a six year old girl who I didn’t know, who started crying at the top that she wanted to get down.

AJ: We aim to please. We’d appreciate it, though, if Chris could let us know about where we can get that time machine of his offline…could use it for so many decisions in the past that could be, er, reset… :)

DI: Good to hear from you! We agree about the MATMD problems, especially when they go off on one of their cliched rants, but when you compare them to programs out of this market it really is no comparison. The grass is always greener, right? :) And in fairness, Greg is the Red Sox fan…Clea is a Mariners fan, though her second favorite team is the Sox (and we’re all in agreement about the Yankees issue. :) ) We both like the Mets a lot, though…a fun team which doesn’t act like it comes from privilege like a certain other NYC team *ahem*. As to the review, yeah, sometimes when Russ is guest-reviewing it can be a bit more critical than normal–but we’ve actually been in touch with Eric, the show designer since and he said he appreciated (and will implement) many of the suggestions which were made, so that’s cool. The show is a great idea and has a lot of potential.

Thanks as always for all of the comments and feedback…we’ll have a new show for you guys soon!

Mike and the Mad Dog are okay and they obviously have a loyal following. I am not a huge fan of them. Sometimes they are unlistenable, like during late January and early February, but that’s true about all sports talk. I think they lean a bit heavy on their “shtick” of Dog being an anti-Yankee (How many times can you hear Dog convert to become a Yankee fan before your stomach curdles over and falls out?) and Mike being all knowing, but then I really Steve Sumers and you can’t really get more “shticky” then him.

I didn’t realize you were Red Sox fans! I got the impression you were Mets fans. I root for the Brookline Red Sox over the Brooklyn Yankees any day of the week:)

“Just My Show” sounds interesting. I will check it out. It sounds like you are being a tad too tough on the ‘caster, but that is the nature of this show I guess.

Chris’ time machine DOES work!

Thanks again guys for the great shows.

I’ll definitely point you toward our game when it’s out! I’m sure iWin would love all the publicity it could get.
