Buzz Out Loud won't be the same without you. Fortunately we'll all be able to get our acedtect fix @ TWIT. Thanks for keeping the show together through everything its gone through. It would've been easy to put it out to pasture and focus on other things, but you and Jason stuck with it and we're all grateful.

I thought this was a joke...UNTIL

I read this: http://www.tommerritt.com/?p=1473

Wow. I guess now it makes sense that Molly's back fulltime. Can you imagine if they had both went and it was just Jason and the revolving crew of Rafe, Tong, Natalie and Don? No offense to any of them, but that would have been a hard sell to long-time listeners.

Oh well, life is about change.

Tom -- all the best. I know I've given you some jazz about this or that on occasion, but you were easy on the ears and made me think about what MY position on a topic should be, particularly when you would bring up the contrarian or mitigating point of view.

I haven't even listened to TWIT in quite awhile, but I'll check you out there.

Break a leg!

Thanks a lot Tom, you Molly and the crew got me almost all the way thru undergrad and if you are still on until the beginning of May all of Graduate school. I will miss the almsot natural banter between Molly and yourself.

Keep on trucking,

First of all Leo is long winded I stopped listening to TWIT because of the self congratulatory nature of the show.. I am mad at Tom for leaving my favorite show for a second class option with more money. You built buzz out loud without you it will wither. Damn shame Molly is to much personality not enough substance. Can we start a fund to keep Tom? I like the length intelligence and focus of the show. Why are you going to a large pond to be a small fish? Buzz out loud is recently rising to prominence why jump off now.

Say what you like about the TWIT show

It's a better run company, that's smaller and more agile. Gets more advertisers.

(NT) I agree, but there is room for improvement.
