Love the new format..

I think having more the 1 person on screen helps to make it seem more personable and less scripted.

I with ya Moujan I have no idea Why that movie is doing so well.... Actually now that I think maybe it's this generations Homeward Bound.. I know I watched the F-bomb out of that movie back in the day (it was 93' I was 11)

The new format is made of win!

I'm not sure if the changes made were partially because of my comments on episode 27 but I'm so glad that what I suggested has been fulfilled and there's more interaction between you all. The music section was a huge improvement and although I'm not the biggest hip hop fan (still a fan mind) I thought it was the best so far, it seemed more relaxed and it gave the show a real friendly atmosphere.

Thanks for taking on board our comments, it's great to know that you're making this show for us lot :D

AWESOME show. Heather's segment is the best it's been in ages, so much more natural and relaxed.

Banter between Moujan and Sarah Lane was fantastic too.

It's got a great sense of these 3 girls just hanging out talking about stuff

I agree. The episode seemed so much more cohesive. In past episodes after the format change, all segments seemed... well... segmented. Everyone was so separate from each other. Sarah hosts and showcases a cool app, Moujan gives some sort of history lesson or rant about the state of the union, and Heather gives her music pick of the week. Wash, rinse, and repeat each week. With this new, improved format, everyone seems more at ease and comfortable. It reminded of popSiren when Jessica was still on board; it was more impulsive and less structured. Its a good thing. Keep up the good work. I would also like to seem more comic book or novel reviews. I also know that this is a bit of an old topic, but I still think that the show should be extended to its old length. Again, great show!

Excellent episode. Nice ebb and flow. Relaxed. Great job.

Now, regarding Sarah's question: whether comical satire hurts a candidate or not?

The thing about McCain and Palin is that they are caricatures IRL. I mean how can anyone take them seriously when they have proven through documented youtube videos or public statements like this: Palin vows to win 'economic war' in U.S. to be short a buck in a dime store.

If anything, Tina Fey's impersonation of Sarah Palin or Bobby Lee's take on McCain exposes these people for what they are. (And I'll leave it at that, otherwise I'll get flamed or banned.)

BTW, I'm no Obama fan, but at least he has made an effort to present himself with the elevated rhetoric of a statesman.

And I assume you have seen this: Palin As President

I agree with what most people have said, great Ep.

I would say the best thing is that content may be king, but it's not what you say, but HOW you say it. I like the format and banter and collaborations.

Thoughts on and constructive crit

First.. love the show, keep up the good work.

More interaction is a good thing. its what makes the "podcast" format so much better than main stream stuff. Having a single speaker is ok from time to time, but to much and it turns the podcast into me being "talked at". That was ok until I discovered revision 3. I now want to feel involved, I want to think I am part of the conversation on screen. So I say continue with the onscreen interaction.

Heather, I love all the bits that you do. However, you off come across to me as a "talking head". Now when you and Sarah did music together... Whole new ball game. The things that you were discussing felt much more real, and personal. I felt as if your enthusiasm for what you were discussion was genuine. That is not so much the case when you are on your own. In this recent episode you came across as this really interesting person, with really cool tastes and an exciting personality. Maybe you are wondering why all the "personality" comments. See that is the point, that's what makes the show so much better than say "good morning America". Trust is established between you and the audience, via you all being genuine people. I feel as if I am just talking with some friends, and they are telling me about some cool stuff. Stuff that I believe because there is no reason not to... Cause you know, Sarah, Heather and Moujan there cool.

As far as the post about the F-bomb. Please don't bleep it, please dont' try to censor yourselves. Again, its one of the most refreshing parts of podcasts. People are being real. Some people drop the f-bomb, some don't, some only do it in certain company. Just talk as you normally would...

Just some thoughts. Again great show. Watch it every week. The final thing I want to say is when you have fun on camera, we the audience have fun.

Right, late night blogging boredom kicked in so I stepped up to the plate with the challenge. I can't compete with 17 different houses, I've only lived in 9 different houses and that's including Uni accommodation. But I google mapped the few I could remember and stuck them on my blog. Was a great blog idea, hopefully I'll finish it with my uni residence sometime, cheers Sarah :)

Any episode that mentions Elliott Smith is a good episode.

You shouldn't think of yourself as a dead leaf, Sarah. You're the coolest pine cone.
