“I’ve been a fan of this show from the very beginning when it was just Tony telling stories with a bit of cheesy music which was great. Somewhere around episode 500 it all started to change. That was back when the episodes were 50 minutes or so with commercials at the end. That’s when I started to slowly check out, only to come back every few weeks or so. Actual stories and content became less and less. Then I left the show altogether. For the last 4 years I’ll check back annually around September to see if the format has changed, and it has gotten progressively worse. I just checked back today after not listening for about 7 months, the show is unrecognizable it feels overly produced which is something I remember Tony talking about earlier on in the shows life(saying that’s not what he wanted to do.) It seems like he’s trying to do far too much. I’ve loved this show from the beginning and I don’t want to give up on it, but I think the time has come.
Update: So I’ve come back to revisit the show, to see if anything has changed, and it has, for the worse. I haven’t listened in over 2 years, but during that time I’ll come back every 6 months or so to see if (again) anything’s changed. It’s gotten so bad with the ads throughout that unfortunately I won’t be back ever again.”
