Coming attractions
Just finished recording the Last Gillmor Gang. Of course, for those who pay attention, I'm calling every show from now on the Last one, under the assumption that one of these days I'll be right. It's another good one, which I'll start mixing in a few hours, and it will spool out in at least 3 or maybe 4 parts. Calacanis couldn't make it, but Arrington started it before disappearing mysteriously, and Hugh Macleod finished it with a long wine commercial masquerading as consulting/brainstorming. Farber, Vizard, Gardner, Doc, and special guest Jeff Clavier round out the session. After two years of this, I'm more happy with the results consistently than at any time since Udell quit.
Yesterday Mitch Kertzman and I chatted for a two-part Gillmor Daily. Some of the discussion overlaps with where the Gang went today, so I'll interleave the release over the weekend.

How about throwing the listeners a bone and editing Hugh’s commercial out of the mix? He really does not add a lot of value to the show.

On the contrary, as you’ll hear at the end of the show, I’ve asked Hugh to be a permanent member of the Gang. Listen to the show, and if you think he doesn’t add incredible and strategic value to the show, unsubscribe and stop wasting your time. When I say I’ve never been happier with the show, I mean it. What does that tell you?

I’d also vote for editing out Hugh’s blathering about suits and wine, but if you can’t do that, can you at least mix down his mic levels and silence all the superfluous breathing and static that plagues the show. Otherwise, this really is my favorite podcast evarrrr.

Steve, I’ve heard you mention that Udell left in previous shows. What happened? He’s one of my favorite tech journalists, I figured he would eat up something like this. Care to comment?

Ha I’ve finally found you!
News flash the internet is dead!
I think Hugh is a bit of an asshole, however I though Jason was an asshole and that you were mad to keep him on the gang but the more I heard him the more I came to respect him. So I bow to your superior insight and am expecting to warm to Hugh very soon.

When you asked Hugh to become a permanent member of the Gang did Arrington quit?

With all due respect to Hugh and his great cartoons my favorite line up is - in descending order of insightfulness:
Gillmor,
Calacanis,
Carr,
Farber,
Searls,
Gardner,
Vizard,
Arrington,
McLeod

I listened to the show.

You mean it when you say that you’ve never been happier with the show.
> if you think he doesn’t add incredible and strategic value to the show,
> unsubscribe and stop wasting your time.
I was unable to find any value in any of Hugh’s comments. What did he say that was so incredible and strategic?
