Sorry, this is my second post on the podcast stuff. But I was just courious. They wrapped it up as soon as they got to the 2 hour mark. I heard someone say, "we are probably loosing listeners right now". I am an SX/MX junkie to the max. And I understand the guys have lives to get back to. 2 hours seems like a good mark to shoot for but if they are a little over are you gonna pull the plug as a listener?

Plus we missed out on all the cool segments. I did like the addition of Kenny's corner. Good stuff.

I agree two hours is not long enough. It's not like most people are listening live anyway even if they can always check the archive and listen to what they missed.

The good part about this program and DMXS is their length is usually determined by their content. I'd say last week was the only show they pulled the plug prematurely.

I will give you the definative answer and my exact words to Steve and Paul.....

there is NO ideal show time. 1 hour, 2 hours, 6 hours. If things are going great and its staying interesting, who cares about the clock! Last monday was a perfect example. The train was a rollin! We werent lossing anyone, everyone was laughing, enjoying the show, keep going until you are done on what you are talking about.

No, you dont have to do a marathon show. But if everyone is having fun, pin it. It costs the same amount wether we do a 1 hour show or a 4 hour show, so time limit, do it.

The deegan watson show was too short. I could listen to those old stories forever.

Problem is the guy(say deegan) runs out of stuff to talk about and have a life too..

Now next month, Watson or Deegan have more old stuff to talk about that they remember. Or Watson and Hart or some other MotoXX peeps or whatever....

I think 2 hours is plenty each show.

Pretty simple... As long as Paul and Steve keep talking Moto, I'll keep listening... And if you tuned in i'd guess you would too... I was surprised they cut it, shoulda kept going...

I'm not gonna stop listening after 2 hours. I listen to the Moto Show and DMXS on my ipod during homework, any drive over an hour, cutting grass, working. Hell, I'd listen to an 8 hour show if they made one.

I'd listen to Jason Ellis ramble for the whole 4 hour show everyday if i could. same goes for this show, it's only on once a week and its podcasted, why hold it to 2 hours? I say keep it going 3-4 hours,as long as you got stuff to talk about!

I hope Paul can get over KW. The show is great with all three guys. Although Paul doesnt get to talk as much as he may want to, the show as a whole is great. I think the Monday time slot is great because the race is still so fresh in everyones mind. Hang in there Paul, it seems as though the show may not be going exactly as you planned it, but it seems the show is a huge success so far. Somtimes we all need to adjust our goals and expectations. Great Show and who cares how long it goes, its Monday night and American Idol isnt even on. ha ha ha ha haLaughing

Paul pulled the plug on the last show. I think it was his nite nite time..The show is so good because they don't ask so many generic questions like pit pass radio does or an erin bates podium interview. Show is awesome to listen too at work to make the day go quicker...

IMO 2 hrs is not two long, I normally down load it from the archive and listen at work when I
get the time. I thing all three guys add a different knowledge and direction to the show. I never miss listening to them. Or should I say 4 of them, (is Has Been a Regular)?
