I do not have either a beautiful or mellifluous voice, but if you ever do an anti-Eisner one, I'm in.

I hope your kitty gets better! How old is he? I love Maine Coon kitties- they are gorgeous, and have such great personalities.

Vi is about 15 years old. Heather had him since he was a kitten. He's a really good guy - I've always been more of a dog person (in taste as opposed to appearance), but Violet really stole my heart. It sucks to see him sick.

...and I'm not sure if I'll do an anti-Eisner show. Maybe a pro-Roy one?

Well, I hope the boy gets much better very fast. I am a cat fanatic, and I am always very sad to hear of one that isn't feeling good. ( I have learned to love doggies as well these past few years, but cats have always and will always be my obsession).

Pro-Roy is good, btw.

This is an interesting question, actually. Some of us are kind of pissed at Roy at this point. He was doing really well but then failed to follow through. He never recommended a replacement for Eisner when he had the chance. It was weird how he dropped the ball.

After listening to your podcasts I'd say you're going for a more informative bent instead of a "political" one. You include things for the casual Disney fan. I don't think you need to muddy the waters with negativity. If I were you I may mention certain decisions I may not agree with, etc, but demonizing Eisner may be too far for the people you have listening. I really dig your across the board approach.

I only had time to listen to half of the new one this morning and I am really enjoying it so far. The Friendly Indians version of GGG and the Baroque Hoedown as done by TMBG are awesome! I love that you play the more esoteric versions of songs. If you just played the obvious stuff, we'd get bored really quickly. I think your MCing is getting better with each show too.

Can't wait to hear the rest. Your talk with ML, that should be awesome. I'll volunteer to talk Disney but I really don't know what topic I'd talk about. That would definitely be fun though.

Did anyone else catch the reference to Moonliner's C D B post? I just adore when you mention us.

Edited to add: NA is right - put a link in your sig!

Actually, I think CP is right- it wouldn't really fit with the type of show you have, although if things go as rumored you may want to have a celebratory show post-Eisner......

CP- Roy was walking a legal tightrope prior to the deadline for nominating a new slate. Once the deadline passed, he was free to do as he wished, which is actively campaign for Eisner's removal. At first, I was confused as well by the seeming inaction on his part, but then a few things were pointed out to me, and I get where things are going, or I hope they go. I think it's pretty clear that a Jobs/Lasseter team is what Roy would like, and I think they are playing a waiting game with Mr. Eisner. Think about it- Jobs still hasn't signed with anyone else, and it's getting very down to the wire for them, as pre-production on toys, etc for upcoming movies usually has to begin several years before the actual release of the movie. I wonder if that isn't one of the reasons they pushed Cars back, in fact.
