Glad to see the descriptions again. They are poetry.

Yeah hopefully I got out of my anti-description rut.

I’m a firm believer in show notes!

some show notes are fine. telling me EVERYTHING youre gonna talk about and do takes a great deal from the experience. for me; it isnt as if im going to base whether i listen or not on frank’s topics….
radio feels more magical with some mystery and surprises….

The show notes are extremely important for reference in the future. Writing them can be very time-consuming, so sometimes I slack off. As far as descriptions taking away from the listening experience… it’s an issue similar to the “no spoilers” Phish show recordings, where you can hear shows without seeing the setlists – http://phishthoughts.com/nospoilers/
So maybe there could be some mechanism for listening to Onsug shows without seeing the descriptions… but the existence of descriptions is a vital aspect of Onsug.

I totally believed your Chemical Bank story! LOL 😉
I LOVE your statement of a “Free and Clear Future” once we hit 2013!!! Woot Woot 🙂 That’s an awesome way to look at the end of the crazy Mayan calendar!!!
