The content with the Irvine shows is good, but the two parter (and my iPhone getting them backwards all the time) as well as the fact that they all have the same name is kind of a pain in the rear end.

Considering I don't have this problem with any other podcast that does multi-part releases, it's definitely something they're doing wrong on their end. I'd offer to help them fix it if I knew who to contact.

Yeah iTunes will download both parts if you tell it to get all the new episodes, but it's a minor pain in the rear end that they end up on my iPod Touch with Part 2 first.

They both have the same intro music and it's really hard to tell which one you're listening to until you're about a minute in.

Yeah I am really getting loving tired of Rascal King...christ do the intro and outro have to be so long? wish there was a way to preset all podcasts to skip them. Do I have to listen to the whole thing before my ipod counts it as done and automatically takes it off my pod?

I still think the only reason they got rid of that Intro is because Donnie whined about it. It was great though, and I loving hate the current one.

I love the intro song, it's actually one of my favorite songs. I just wish they shortened the intro and outtro length. Someday I suppose was great, very distinctive sound and they knew to get it started when the guitar kicked in. Also pretty drat uplifting.

Howard talks about "trying to sound like other radio guys" earlier in his career with their deep voices.

You'll be astounded how much better deep resonating voices test on a random audience than any other kind. It is night and day. People who are station surfing will stop on a deeper voice and listen for a bit but will completely skip any other type.

Pretty sure he's just another cohost in LL's current revolving door policy.

He's not nearly as bad as Stryker, but, as someone who works in radio, I have a special kind of hatred for Stryker and his cliched, inauthentic, unchallenging, bullshit "radio personality" persona.

They just need to get rid of that retarded "Psycho Mike" name. It's really, really 1992.

Sometimes I swear I could host Loveline just from listening to it for so long and not being a total gently caress-up (just a partial one).

I tried to listen but couldn't get over the fact that Adam's wife wants to talk about parenting and raising children while having her children taken care of by a nanny. Something about that just rubs me the wrong way. I like me some Greg Fitzsimmons, but not even he could save it for me.

Carolla is misinformed about a lot of things and is not very good at looking at the macroscopic view. He really is a testament to how much more willing we are to tolerate ignorance when it comes alongside some charm and a good sense of humor.

Some would argue he has neither of those but I find him funny enough (on Loveline) to tolerate him.

I remember a podcast a while ago where Adam (and Theresa I think) complained about new moms thinking they're experts on parenting and giving out advice to everyone they meet.

This piece of poo poo smacks of that.

To be fair, so far he has been right. Aside from one strip club in the middle of nowheresville, has any evidence been brought to trial that was gathered by the patriot act?

Maybe I'm just armpit deep into the mass media, and can't really see what to look for.

Today's Podcast starring Adam's dad is the worst podcast ever. The huge loving intro, the crap about neo-natal stuff (even if it's not crap, it sounds phony coming from his mouth) and his wimpy demeanor do not a good podcast make.

I'd rather listen to him rant about waterboarding people who need health care that benefited from hooking up with Jimmy Kimmel than hear that bullshit again.

^^Ugh, agreed. After a minute and a half of the intro I really thought it was going to be some Andy Kaufman-like joke about how Adam's dad was too lazy to come in and do a podcast so they were just going to play music the whole time. Nope, just a two and a half-loving minute long musical intro.

I got through about ten minutes of it before I was so bored I was paying more attention to highway signs I've seen a bajillion times and turned it off.

I didn't make it through this podcast either. It started off bad for me because I have the trumpet play-a-long book that his dad was using, and about halfway through the opening song his time got turned around and he was playing the song one beat ahead of where it should have been.

I think the podcast would have been better if Adam were there to guide and discuss, instead of having a lecture.
