Oh, and Paczki are most definitely NOT overrated. I wish Noisewater and Peeps would have disclosed where they get theirs from because their bakeries sound lame.

When I lived in Illinois, Bennison's in Evanston used to be my go-to spot for paczki. Their fresh fruit varieties--particularly the banana and strawberry with whipped cream--were absolutely phenomenal.

No offense intended to chus, but I dont think it is a good idea to have 2 hosts who openly admit to not really paying attention to the board. But then again Dr. Ken seems to want to distance himself from the board, so maybe that is a good idea. I dont know.

This week's edition of MBR didn't go that well.

Doc what is your reason for wanting to distance it from the board?

On a more serious note, I think the podcast could be improved if Noisewater and Co. discussed topics that they actually find interesting. In this most recent episode, for instance, Noisewater introduced the "Message Board Roulette" segment by revealing that he doesn't visit the board much anymore. Similarly, Peeps kicked off the wrestling discussion by disclosing that he no longer follows wrestling as closely as he used to. That kind of framing gave the episode a Dick Jauron vibe: "I have a podcast, but I'm not interested in talking about the subjects that I talk about on my podcast." If you're not interested in a particular topic, why discuss it? And why would your audience want to hear you talk about topics that you seemingly think are uninteresting?

Overall, the lack of enthusiasm for the topics gave this episode a perfunctory, obligatory feel that made it less enjoyable than it should be. I know this point is obvious, but I'm going to make it anyway: Choose topics based on your interests--rather than habit or a sense of obligation--and the show will be more fun for you and your listeners.

That said, I do enjoy the show. But I think it could be made better with just a little more planning and self-awareness.

That is mainly why I changed the name. Maybe "distance" is the wrong word. I hope everyone listens and enjoys it. I just don't want it to appear as though it is "the board podcast" because there will be weeks that I don't discuss it at all or have anyone on associated with it.

I probably worded it poorly. Which I'm sure is no surprise.
I follow wrestling still. I just don't watch every weekly show in its entirety anymore. One thing Twitter has been good for is keeping up with what's going on without having to watch live. If something interesting happens, you can find a clip of it somewhere.

Because I don't know as much about the board as I used to.

My interest in sports radio is almost non-existent and I feel disingenuous in appearing as though I am representing that I am interested or knowledgeable about the main theme of the board.

An aside, is TPTB = the powers that be?
