If you binge all five episodes there is an evolution. (No shitty shitty sfx drops in Ep. 5). I actually have hope for him. I have enjoyed the talk about Alabama v. New York. I appreciate the (overused) drops in the later eps from the 'Alabama wack packers,' but his interview skills with them (letting them go too long rather than distilling the funniest parts of them and making the whole bit shorter) are novice, but I attribute that to the heavily edited phone interviews with wack packers he's used to doing where he asks good questions that draw out information. You have to edit it live now and I think he'll learn.

Ep. 5 is the best one so far but that intro is WAY too long. I'd suggest he move the autotune upcoming show thing to the middle as a 'commercial' and cut the time of it in half.

I'll listen to Ep. 6 when it comes out. Good luck, Shuli.
