And I have found the forums to be lacking in number of posts and quality of posts. People tend to spend too much time tossing disparaging comments instead of actually helping people learn about homebrewing.
If you could get the podcasts to focus on the actual topic of homebrewing AND be suitable to listen to in the car with the kids, then I'll think about supporting. Until then I'll probably just stick with the NPR of homebrewing radio.
While you are definitely entitled to your own opinion, I notice that you have posted 7 times more than half of which do not have anything to do with helping people learn about homebrewing and the only topic you posted more than once in was the "I am a homebrewer" topic. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that you had a part in that and you are now all hurt that they didn't like your video. Part of being a homebrewer is also learning to accept criticism. None of us have made a perfect beer and none of us have made a perfect YouTube video. Yeah, the guys were a little harsh but some of their points were valid.
Besides Basic Brewing I haven't found any of the other shows to even be tolerable. They all have the same BS the only difference is the BN is funny. Oh yeah and they have better guests, broadcast live from the biggest beer events, more Ninkasi awards than any others, and by far more beer information than any of the other shows. If the session isn't for you listen to Brew Strong. If that doesn't give you words of brewing wisdom start your own show and maybe Jamil and John will learn stuff from you.
