Podcasting Announcement

[zdunklee]

While I did also enjoy the local pieces at the beginning of each break, I guess I can live without those minutes of the show. But that 16th segment is going to hurt. Problem is, at this point it's tough for podcasters not to look like complainers anytime we comment. But there was great stuff on that local break. There were some great interviews with people and always some extra jokes thrown in. The podcast is an item people pay for. I'm not sure I follow why syndication has anything to do with it, most of the stuff the guys talk about doesn't take place in everyone's home town, why does it matter if it's only in GR? If it was a lot of extra work to add it in I could see, but its one segment out of 16, I can't imagine that much of the day is lost trying to add it in.

I have to agree 100%, the local intros are fine, but the local segment 16 should not disappear...ya know cause everyone loves paying the same price for less of a value (and good segments like line of doom are in segment 16).... I don't care either way about the intros however because I generally skipped them as well.

What Steve said in the E-mail is that before he was there, the stuff WASN'T edited out because it took too much time. But Savior Steve is here now and can edit that stuff out for us, and that's supposed to make things better. B.S. I loved the local feel of it even though it was a place I had never been to. It made it seem more real. Maybe we'll forget where they are from too and can fantasize that they live in our town! Anyway, I'll have much more to say tonight. Meanwhile, can everyone start making a list of cool stuff that happens in that break? For example, the making fun of J.T., Steve being afraid of Lake Michigan, Zane's job as Griffins announcer, things like that. Stuff we will never hear again.

All of the above, there never would have been as much Zane loves Quincy if it wasn't for some of the podcasters that call the show as well. I can't say that this move makes any sense at all really...sounds like a legit waste of Steve's time and an insult to us paying podcasters by taking something away the majority of us like (and pay for).
