I will disagree with things he says and not personally like that he gives some people access to a huge audience, but I will never discredit the fact that he (and others behind the scenes) have made it this far by being sort of podcasting purists. There might be only two major changes JRE has gone through content wise during the hundreds of episodes: no more co-host and no live broadcast. That's remarkably good and he had good enough taste to not ever take part in things like mid-show ads (as in stopping the chat in its tracks and starting to read ads). It's rare that someone can land it so early on and keep that magic recipe going. I bet touring radio shows for his entertainment business helped him gauge what kinds of radio shows were nice vs. the ones that were cumbersome.
