You know I really empathize with the flamers. I used to check in with crosstalk with Dan, Britton, and Drew. It was really great! The videos on youtube I learned a lot from. This new group is really hard to take.

This podcast is just so worthless. I really tried to get something out of this, but you guys say nothing helpful at all. What is going on?

It is really sad to see crosstalk turn into this. You guys are just bullshitting with each other here. I'm about to give up on crosstalk. It's a shame.

This is the new crosstalk!? No wonder everyone hates this show. Yikes, i had to hear it myself. The guys on the forums are trashing you hard. Honestly, this was worse than everyone says.

I hope you guys don't get paid for this.

Yep, in its current form it stinx to high heaven

Simple soln.

Sack both NFIs Britton (what has he actually produced that anyone would know?) and Henry (who the fuck is he?)

Re-hire Dan-T-Man (the Guru)

Even bring back Mr Voice (Mike) to m.c. the whole thing

At least Bill seems to know his stuff and applies an objective eye to most things

FUCK e-mail btw..... I never use that old-school method

You guys could always go Skypecast if you had the balls

Seriously, whoever keeps writing these nasty comments should be ashamed, these bitter haters are truly useless human beings with no purpose.

I actually think crosstalk is great, its informative and entertaining. Definitely nothing else out there quite like this show and whoever doesn't get it is probably to dumb to know what the guys are talking about anyway.

For all those or the guy who hates crosstalk, just go to youtube and view people putting mentos in coke bottles to watch it EXPLODE! or perhaps monkeys picking their bums and smelling their finger.

First, bring back the video format.

What I liked about the old show was that it was primarily about taking a more indepth look a gear than the short review videos found elsewhere on the site. That should be the primary format. Then commentary on "trends," etc. as filler. In other words, it was better before. Look at those shows and do what was being done back then and we'll be back on track.

And for all Gearwire videos in general, get some better theme music, bumpers, etc. Quit using that same overly compressed synth intro for all the videos, it slams the shit out of my ears -- somebody overdid the limiter ... and it's musically very interesting, just a bunch of random notes on a synth. In the old days they changed the music (and visuals) of the intros more often. It was more entertaining, humorous, etc.

Sorry, I meant to type "it's NOT very interesting musically..."

"I'm guessing you're talking about the main gearwire bumper, not the crosstalk intro music"

Yes. I've been meaning to complain about it, so I just slipped that in. It was interesting at first, but is now stale and overused.

"I'm not sure what you mean by musically interesting, but I'm guessing you're not a big fan of electronic music."

As I corrected above, I meant to say NOT very musically interesting. I like all kinds of music, including electronic, but this piece is like random notes that just fade in and out. I would prefer a complete musical idea lasting whatever duration. It was fun at first, but in the old days they changed things up more, more styles on the bumpers, more humor, whatev.

Thanks for listening! Keep groovin/rockin, etc!
