“This is *very* different from The Talk Show of the past, which always had Dan Benjamin serving to keep the podcast focused.
People didn't tune in to just listen to John Gruber ramble about a million unrelated topics, they tuned in to listen to a podcast that had at least some semblance of order. The Talk Show with Dan Benjamin was already one of the less-focused podcasts on 5by5, where Dan would prepare a list of topics and show notes beforehand, and Gruber just showed up on a bad connection and mumbled his comments to some of the topics while clearing his throat or snorting.

This new show is John Gruber unhinged, John Gruber talking to himself, jumping from unrelated topic to topic; it is unfocused to the hilt, and embarrassing to listen to.”Read full review »

I'll try and listen but this is a less interesting show...”Read full review »
