Disappointing

“The Talk Show suddenly disappeared from its home on 5by5 and started over on Mule Radio Syndicate.
I listened to the Talk Show every week. I initially came for Gruber, but I grew to love Dan. The Talk Show was my gateway drug to 5by5’s other amazing podcasts. But the sense I get from this is that Dan Benjamin was pretty much blindsided by it. Gruber’s only public statements on this have been that he is excited to relaunch on Mule. There isn’t even so much as a mention or a thank you for Dan or 5by5.
I’m not going to harp on this because it’s not worth it. Frankly, I couldn’t care less about John Gruber’s business decisions. Whatever the motivation behind this change, Gruber is free to do whatever he wants here. But I think the respectful thing would have been to go through Dan and announce this to the public together. Instead, Dan looks like a victim here, and it didn’t have to play out like that.
I don’t care what Gruber does. But I do care how he does it. Maybe if he hadn’t gone the shock-and-awe route with this transition, I’d have followed him over to Mule. But as it stands today, I’m done with the Talk Show.”

“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...”Read full review »

“Only when I hear this new show do I now understand how much John not happy in the 5by5 environment. I started listening to this show only in the past year so I was all along thinking the seeming friction between Dan and John was an intentional ingredient put up to make the show entertaining. When...”Read full review »
