    Suggestions

    I just had a small suggestion for the next season. Why don't you have the contestants create a itunes description of their podcast at the beginning? Then each week hand the judges their descriptions, along with challenge description for that week. This way, they are essentially getting what a person deciding whether or not to download a podcast would have. (The description of the podcast overall and a description of that specific episode.) This may reduce some of the repitition of explaining it over and over. Having said that, I would like to say I have really enjoyed this competition. I enjoy listening to it as is and if nothing changes, I am cool with that and will continue listening. I didn't even mind this weeks challenge, I thought it was clever and a little evil, which I found to be hilarious. Having recently read the forums and seeing some people consider this a negative, I like the fact that it is different judges every week, because they are going to have different ideas and are less likely to develop a bias as the weeks go on. I know some of the judges come in with a "bias", just because they have heard one of the podcasts before or have been guests on them , but I don't think this really is an issue. I know I first was finding podcasts to try, the first ones I downloaded were ones with people that I recognized, The first one I ever downloaded was "The Bugle", based entirely on the fact that I thought John Oliver was funny on the Daily Show. I loved it and that is what encouraged me to go and try other podcasts based on their subject material. I love movies, so when I saw a podcast called "I love Movies", I downloaded an episode to see if I would like it. It is one of my favorite podcasts now. In addition, just because I like one podcast, that doesn't stop me from hearing something new and liking that too if not more sometimes. For example, based on Scott Aukermann(him not being someone I had heard of before.) being a guest on Doug loves movies, I decided to give Comedy Deathy Ray(now Comedy Bang Bang) a try. I listen to both now and find them both funny. So in a way, I look at the different judges coming in each week are acting like new listeners, who have their own biases, deciding which podcast they are going to try next. Different people are going to have different tastes, and by having the same people every week, we are only going to hear about their taste, which may not match mine. So in conclusion, please keep the multiple judges format (and Matt Besser, he makes me laugh which when deciding which podcasts to subscribe to is very important to me)
