I listen to F**k Face and Face Jam every week. I'll occasionally listen to an episode of Off Topic or Black Box Down. So the podcast content is definitely relevant and has value to me.

As far as the personalities themselves changing, I guess I've been more forgiving in that regard. Losing Ray and Jeremy were both big hits, but then I just started watching them over on twitch so that was all right. That's too much streaming to watch absolutely everything, but just going through their VODs and cherry picking ones that seem more relevant to me has been a pretty good way to keep them in the rotation without seeing them every day. You can throw Matt in this list as well, but he honestly seemed to show up just as much in AH content after being "fired" as he did before. That felt more like a restructure into a freelancer position than an outright firing? Regardless his own streaming pursuits seem to be doing just fine and I don't mind tuning in to watch his Pokemon Stadium Rental Randomizers.

But with all that said I have liked many of the new faces as well. I think i've been on board with Alfredo since day 1. Trevor took some warming up, and while he's not as overtly funny as some of the others he has definitely shown that his approach adds value. He's a guy who understands the assignment and will make choices while playing the game to make the end result more interesting to watch. Joe and BK only got added a little over a year and a half ago, but I thought they both slotted in nicely.

It's just rough knowing that there's really no cast that is going to come close to recreating what felt so special about early AH, and that even if you had the same OG cast come back together it wouldn't be the same. They're all different now and the type and volume of content that they are more inclined to make is different too. We had a good long moment with them as they were, but a moment is not sustainable forever.

I'll be trying out the new thing to see how it sits, and I'll keep listening to the RT podcasts that I still enjoy and we'll see how it goes from there. :shrug:
