Please accept this as positive criticism. Lauren is right, there are lots of shows like this. So, what makes yours stand out. After listening for about 10 minutes, what I heard was a group of people who are blind trying to sound like a panel of news correspondents and stumbling all over each other's lines. I just didn't find it interesting. Perhaps a bit more focus and a bit more script planning is in order. I know, some people like spontaneity, and I am not suggesting that this should be done away with. But sometimes spontaneity needs to follow a loose script so that it doesn't degenerate into just so much talk about not much of anything.
Remember, I said this was positive. I think this has some promise, and I am sure there are people who like it just the way it is. For my enjoyment and edification, I want to find out things of important with a lot less unrelated chatter that I have to wade through to get there. Good luck with your efforts. And people, don't start bashing the messenger because you think my criticism too harsh. That's not where I am coming from. I would guess the people who run this podcast want feedback, and that is all this is.
