I'd like to echo this. It has been noticeably harder for me to keep up with the podcast lately and I think it's because each topic you seem to repeat the same points over and over. I don't mind that you're all headed in a direction that is so far removed from what I'm interested in (I'm not really champing at the bit to engage with you or the community), but if you want to focus on more structure it might be a nice idea to look into some methods of keeping the conversation rolling as well. Edit: And perhaps 4 or 5 Love and Respect is too many.

2022-03-21 22:30:59 +0000 UTCI’ve been emotionally invested in GameTrailers & @EasyAllies for so long, but privately. I watch the videos, back the patreon, & listen to the podcast but don’t engage much. Haven’t been liking the podcast *as much* these past few weeks, though. And I hate to be critical of it, bc I love this cast and I love hearing what y’all have to say. But with the longer belaboring of points and longer subsequent runtime, it’s gotten to feel more like FrameTrap than the standard EZA podcast ever did. And maybe that’s what y’all want - both the creators and other listeners. But when I saw the heartbreaking announcement that Jones is leaving the group, I felt like I’d better say something. Just to add my 2 cents before the new guard sets this style in stone. The transition from Kyle to Jones was surprisingly seemless, but this transition… I’ve definitely noticed it. Sorry for being negative.
