So I started listening about a week ago and just barreled through all these episodes. I'm behind on most of my other podcasts, and I'm learning a ton about podcasts, and comedy in general, so I love a lot about this. I'm also starting to here "Here you later" in my sleep, which I should see a doctor about.
One suggestion, which may be terrible, is maybe having a listener vote. I think someone mentioned this, but I don't like it as a weekly thing. I like that the judges can get rid of whomever they like, since we don't want the team with the biggest fan base to just barrel to the finish line. But I think something like a "listener vote" week, or better yet, a "listeners save" like the "judges save" on American Idol, allowing teams to get a reprieve. It would only work for the first four-six weeks, but it might add a nice element of listener engagement. It'd be bad it became all listener voting, because I don't trust the animals of the internet not to be terrible people, but it might be a nice condiment... like a touch of Rosemary.
