Merry Christmas
To all the readers of this blog and listeners of this podcast, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
The show will be taking Christmas week off, but will return on Jan 2nd, 2007. We already have some terrific stories ready to go! We both hope you have a fantastic holiday. Take it easy. Don't do too much. There is a lot of be said for laziness. In fact, I talk about it all the time.
Where Is This Show Going?
I wanted to take a little time and talk about the direction of the show. Eric and I don't want to bloviate about stuff we don't know, and we don't want to degrade into Cranky Old Men, although that would be fin if we were 60-ish. We do aspire to be Crotchety, but that's a different story.
We will be experimenting with a slightly shortened show time come Jan 2nd for a couple weeks just as a test. We'll be going to around 30 min to see if the show can gain a little more focus, and we'll be introducing a new themed segment -- something we're very excited about. It's a little unorthodox, but we've crossed that line back in show #3 so there's no turning back now.
Over the past 9 episodes we've dabbled in stories from the entire news spectrum: a little bit "news of the weird," and a little bit foreign policy commentary among others. But deep down the show is about one major thing, and that how the federal and state governments have a tendency to whittle away (slowly) at rights we have as citizens in the name of protection and safety, and how the populace (by and large) let them simply because people would rather be cared for than responsible.
That, my friends, is the what PYT is about, and if that is not your interest then this show is not for you. If it is, then great, stay on board, feed us any news we miss, and we will feed you a good daily dose of insensitivity.
We look forward to seeing you in 2007!
