Title: Does FTL need more female co-hosts?
Post by: Steven from Colorado on August 20, 2009, 04:13:14 AM
Not that I don't like Julia, but I think there should be more female voices on FTL.

Has Ian ever had female co-hosts who aren't sleeping with him?  And I think Ian is a serial monogamist.   So only one woman at a time.

Besides Ian only tolerates Mark as the only non- Anarchist on the show.   There just aren't many Anarchist females out there who will back up everything Ian says.

That speaks highly of females, anarchist or otherwise.   :lol:

AFIK, Julia is the only co-host that has ever slept with Ian. I could be wrong, you never know about drunken "experimenation"

Melissa was a decent co-host.

No matter how you slice it, the show really needs more femininity.

I think the show has several non-no government folks: Mark, Toby, Nick and it seems Wayne.

What about Gard?  He seems to be on the fence to me.  Although I haven't heard his stance laid out clearly, he seems to reference the constitution a LOT.     Correct me if I am wrong please.

Ian and Mark have slept together.

Gard is an anarchist/voluntaryist/whatever.

He seems like a no-government guy but you may not know because he doesn't get on a high horse and look down at others all of the time.

I'm not sure I could agree with everything anyone says nor back it up.

I look down on those who choose to use aggression to get their way.  I looked down on the other children when they stole my things too.  In between then and now I was an asshole.

I think Gard is a no-government guy that has a great way of telling minarchist types that they're just as full of shit as the rest of the statists without getting them so riled up and writing emails to the FSP telling them that they quit.

Gard seems 100% straight to me & I do not think he has slept with Ian.

How many more co-hosts does the show need?  What difference does it make whether they are women or not?  It seems like a lot of radio shows has a token woman on there.  Maybe what FTL needs is more black people on the show.  Lets find a black anarchist woman who will parrot everything Ian, Gard, Dale, Same  I mean Sam.    Maybe it would be better if there was a wider variety of perspectives on the show.

I think it's like with Skeptic's Guide to the Universe-- women who are knowledgeable on the subject and can speak eloquently about it are so rare that it gets guys hot to listen to one.   :)

If simply having a woman on the air is enough to improve ratings than you'd think that there would be a lot more effort by radio and TV to get women on the air.

It would be nice to hear more female voices. It would be nicer to have someone on with more grounding in philosophy and history. Much as I like them, the boys often mess up on their facts.

I really have to agree with this one right here.

I think a small-government women who is openly feuding with Ian would make the show much better. Someone who acts like Ayn Rand for example.

Gard would often reference the constitution before quickly adding that it 'doesn't go far enough to protect (his) liberty' and highlighting how that's why he is now an anarcho-capitalist.

Well, on his own show that's what he does, anyway.

As for more women? The answer is ALWAYS 'HELL, yes!'  :D

I was imagining one of the (rare) co-hosts only shows (for example, when Mark and Ian are away) with Julia and another chick.

That would rule!

Gard and  Torgo would rock pretty hard.

I remember the Johnson and Torgo shows, those were hilarious, but I think Johnson has gotten too uptight lately.  At least that's what my impression was the last time I interacted with him (6 months+ ago)

After hearing Ian openly feud with Mark a few times, can you see any woman wanting to sign up for that?

You might.  I've known a few women that would be able to cut Ian down pretty damn quickly.

Oh, sure, but that wouldn't matter.  Cutting somebody down doesn't prevent them from drowning you out by yelling, forcibly changing the subject, or just out and out being a jerk.  All of which Ian has been known to do.

Two female co-hosts who like to make out with each other.

I don't think it matters. I'm not sure if it's the way the show runs or the personalities of the co-hosts, but unless there are only two co-hosts who speak up enough for me to even think they affect the show all that much. And one's good and the other I don't like, so they sorta cancel each other out.
