I subscribed to this cast a while back because I've got several 60-65 characters and haven't touched endgame/PvMP content. I just listened to the Pirates of Ecuador cast and decided that I'm unsubscribing to your podcast, but I want to explain to you why.
In increasing order of importance:
1. Lose the background music. It could not be more annoying and distracting.
2. Your jokes are (occasionally) funny, but they need to be one and done. Don't waste everyone's time with 5 minutes of extended discussion on narwhale plushies.
3. If you ever go back and listen to your casts, you'll understand why you have to talk one person at a time. You sound like a bunch of drunken men arguing about who had a better high school football career and the right one is the one who yells loudest and last. I'd estimate a good quarter of each single cast is unbearable because two or more of you are talking at the same time.
4. I think my biggest problem is that you don't stick to your stated purpose. There are NO podcasts out there that talk about LotRO endgame. You all are obviously very good and knowledgable about that...so stick to your strong suit. In this last episode, you spent what was probably 10 minutes talking about the centering of characters on the login screen (PS...no one cares). Then there was the 20 minutes on if Turbine should have held the forum changes back because they were buggy. You missed the fact that Patience said they had contractual obligations and had to do it. You talked about layering and other topics that other podcasts discussed weeks ago. The only time in the 2.5 hours you discussed endgame was when you talked about what you'd done in game. If that isn't going to be your focus, you need to re-evaluate because there are podcasts out there that do it better and more consistently for a "general" LotRO player.
Love the spots you do on other casts. If you can make this podcaast more like extended discussions on topics like those, I'll be the first one back to say nicely done. Otherwise, I wish you the best and happy hunting.
