   Gents,

   Great podcast! I'm wicked excited for Finewoodworking live! It should be a Hell of a good time! This will be the first one I will attend.

   Fww Live is back! Great news. Do not miss it. Have attended both, flying from abroad, and I hope I can make it to this one. Please consider having another build off!

   Cheers,

   Looking forward to seeing you all there. It will be in your neck of the woods, Freddie, near Sturbridge.

   So glad to hear that FW Live is coming to fruition again!

   And regarding Patrick's suggestions for a workshop/garage floor--do whatever he says. Patrick and I have done a few projects together in my own home (replacing garage door headers, bathroom re-habs, and more). The guy knows his stuff and really enjoys every aspect of the building process. He's a great person to leverage on these sorts of questions.

   On the flipside - don't listen to anything Kenney says. He's insane.

   Cheers,
   -E

   This is the worst podcast format I know of. I have tried to listen to find the good stuff in all of the boring chit chat and have given up. I am increasingly insulted that you think my time is of so little value that you think its OK to goof around for 55 of 60 mins with crap I DONT want to hear.

   I am angry that the useful woodworking stuff is denied me because I cannot bear to listen to baaaahhing sheep ( STL 116)!!! You cannot be serious!

   Of course I can ignore you and not listen, which is what I do for the most part, but I have a growing sense that there are some tips, techniques, and advices that are being offered here that are not getting into the magazine where I can see them in a format I can read and refer back to.

   I am currently a student of web design and I am going to be sharing in my online classes your awful format to learn how not to do podcasts. You break every basic rule in the book - I suspect because you probably don't know them, or no-one is really taking responsibility to manage the content into a useful format.

   If you have the stones to call me I can be reached on 806 549 0750. You are destroying my confidence in a magazine I have enjoyed for decades. Fix it or for the love of woodworkers who really want substantive content go somewhere else and don't let the door hit you on the butt as you leave

   Do you get my message? That's right . . . I am really not happy.

   Glad to hear FWW Live is back, attended the first two and had a great time and learned many things from all the instructors specialy Matt & Mike.
   Enjoy the Podcast very much, keep the humor, it is needed in this day and age.

   JocknTexas, really? This "podcast" isn't intended to fit the arbitrary rules you assume it should - nor does it have to. Mike Pekovich, Matt Kenney and many of STL hosts and guests have probably forgotten more about woodworking than most of us will ever know. They are willing to share their wisdom, in a light-hearted format. If you listen to most woodworking podcasts you'll find the same thing.

   If Shop Talk Live isn't your cup of tea, then quit listening or create one that fits your expectations. Otherwise, just quit listening.

   I know Tom, Mike and Ben wouldn't interrupt their work to respond to your inane diatribe, and I am certainly not their apologist, but your comments went way beyond constructive criticism to insult, disparagement and borderline threatening. Even Andrew Dice Clay would have been kinder.

   Please, get over yourself.
