    Hi all. Have been a fan of you guys pretty much since the beginning. But I’m not sure I’m a fan of the format change. I liked how the old format was succinct and focused, with its core conceit of being there to help us win our next dinner party. Quick to get into and easily digestible, so to speak.

    While you guys remain very funny and the guests always interesting and entertaining, I feel the show drags a bit now, feels more scattered, and has less to set it apart from other variety-type podcasts (or however you’d describe this particular genre).

    I waited a while before posting this to see whether I’d come around to the new show format — hasn’t happened yet. I can tell from other comments here that there are some folks out there who do appreciate the new direction, so I may be in the minority here. In any case, I just figured I’d offer my thoughts in hopes they can provide some useful feedback.

    Best, Chris
