I think you are misstating the issue at hand. I don't think anyone had any problem with the content, or at least I haven't heard anyone make that claim. If Chris and Martin had recorded exactly the same shows as simply members of the HPR community and not branding them as a separate podcast I think that would have been welcome from day one.
This is of course just my personal opinion, and anyone is free to disagree. Regards, -- Kevin B.
