Don't worry guys, when I get up to NH and get settled... I'll not only thank you for your opinions. I'll actually take them into consideration. Humility is a developed skill... On this, Ian isn't keen on hearing about what the hosts are skilled at, or what makes a good product for Free Talk Live. It was a fun expose show and if you didn't like it, tough titty, becuase a few people did. (and majorities and minorites don't matter)
Well, I'm not of that mindset... and I would like to see the show stick to what it's good at (TO AN EXTENT) and I do believe experiments are good... but even experiments can be handled well or poorly. You can just start handing out nitro glycerine to rowdy highschool students, or you can educate them first and create a controlled environment... one way is better than the other...
Just remember guys, FTL doesn't have a producer yet... so whenever an experiment like that happens... there is no data that exists to know whether or not it will go over well... and Ian may not give a crap about repeated quality, or targetting the audience, but I generally believe it's a good idea to have as much info as possible.
Did you guys like the Landmark show... Poll open now.
http://bbs.freetalklive.com/index.php?topic=9550I, of course, do not think that Free Talk Live should ever cater to a majority... but as a product that goes to a market, I think anyone would have to admit that if the results of that poll are severely tilted in EITHER direction, that it would be wise to follow what the market wants - and at the very least, rethink the approach if similar subject matter ever rears it's head again.
