Right now we have a new sponsor commitment that will keep the show consistent. Not a whole lot of cash, but a test to see if we can produce for them. If they stay with us, we'll get a little extra regular income from it. On the other hand, we're not totally averse to an occasional guest host to give us a break.Coming out of lurk mode because I feel strongly about the issue of Gene and David taking a break. This show is basically a gift to us, not an entitlement. I appreciate the hard work you both put into doing this show week after week, and I almost feel guilty when it unfailingly shows up in my iTunes feed like clockwork. You both quite deserve more than just a week's break. We will live. Other podcasts are very sporadic in their appearance, and people just accept that if they like the show.
Or just do a "best of" show... It might be usefull to re-run some of what you think are your masterpieces to remind us
Some Radiohead is always welcome...I think you guys deserve a well earned break,
I hear what you say about being lucky to have other interests in your lives and that's a great thing, but you must still have to have this stuff running in the background all the time. Even though if you did take a break you couldn't exactly switch it off. I think you would benefit from some time off.
Also I like the idea of having Schuyler do the show. I understand he may not wish to do so but he would be my number one choice. Brian now's suggestion for Brad Stieger tickled me as well, you could maybe get
Ed Sherwood on with him to talk about moosic and pooberty, that might be a laugh.
Seriously though, it might be interesting to ask everyone what show they would like to hear again. I know you can just go through the old shows anytime but that might be fun. My number one would be the show with Bernard Haisch.
Or how about the soundtrack to The day the earth stood still followed by some of David's fave music.
Sorry I have some sort of bug and the Brandy's kicking in now. :redface:

Well, maybe two this week. I suppose if we go crazy next week, we can take off till August.Hmmm I thought you guys worked a little in advance sometimes. The most recent episode (which I'm only about 20 minutes into as I type this) clearly was recorded just over the last week or so. But I had gotten the idea from some past episodes that you occasionally recorded interviews a few weeks before they aired.
Couldn't you get a few episodes 'in the can' so to speak then take a week or two off?
