I'm sorry, I never realized that my $2.00 could mean so much, I'm subscribing now.

But there are probably many that reap the BN benefits but won't go head to head with the wife to justify the paypal transaction. I think the BN has molded a lot of fine brewers and we should be grateful for the information. I think everyone knows what the right thing to do is, so if you can, do it!

On the past few shows, I've heard Justin say it such a small percentage that donates.

So I figure it is a good time to resurrect this thread.

Good idea, I heard that as well. Every little bit helps I'm sure.

I enlisted at the Corproal level a couple of weeks ago. I figured I've been listening for 3 years so now is the time to pony up.

Needless to say I am happy to do my part to support my Army! Now do you think that will speed up the rate at which "that other show" gets released on MP3/iTunes?

:bnarmy:

Has Justin ever said how many soldiers actually do support the BN?

Salute soldiers! Force strength is classified, but there's always a need for more!

No. The radio shows have some merit, but it's no fun picking through the drivel and BS to find actual words of brewing wisdom. 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.
