Got completely cut off from the chat room. Damn..and i was having a great time chatting with the SON gang. I have some suggetions for the show..Which IMO was bad tonight...lol

Suggestions and Observations about tonight's show:

1. Random shows are good only once a weeek.

2. The show was all over the place today. Hard to know when something new was being talked about.

3. Almost an hour talking about one topic. Too long ...IMO..unless it is something big.

4. Quit talking over each other. I hate that. Some of you are very bad at doing that. Hard to understand who is saying what. I love Jen for not doing that.

5. Bring in Trudi and Marcia as co-hosts. I liked them.

6. Thought of another one...lol. Which goes with #4..lol....quit yelling over each other...lol...its annoying and hurts my ears.

7. Thought of another one..lol...quit using obsene language.....its funny at first...but really..can we take the show seriously?

If I think of more...I will add them later. Ryan and producer are you all listening?

Ryan, you need a scriptwriter! Honestly, someone to structure your show, to make it flow and to write the questions for you. This doesn't mean you don't ask good questions - on the contrary! However, this way you might get out more from the person you're interviewing and the interview wouldn't be lost in various meanderings during the 90 minutes. Just my opinion.

And... Would you give R Sinclair a co-host spot for that next Michelle Patrick interview? Of course, if he wanted it!

Thank you Sylph for the comment. I do agree that we need more structuring during the interviews to make it flow. We'll definitely work on that in the coming weeks.

And of course the spot is open for R Sinclair if he wants.

I'm glad to hear that! It's a very good show, I wouldn't be listening to it if it were otherwise. I felt that in that interview with Michelle you wanted to ask so many things, but then she went on talking about a whole lot of stuff and you didn't want to interrupt her for fear of being rude or something. That isn't to say she was boring - not at all! It's just that she covered a small amount of possible topics and themes.
