Dinner Table Talks is a podcast about healthy lifestyle and general conversation between a couple who grow and cook their own food, but in the newest episode, the male co-host talks about quitting THSS cold turkey with fairly succinct reasoning (decline in quality, Howard's shift to 'master interviewer,' loss of the best staff over the years).
He was a huge fan, she was not so they get into that a little, but ultimately they conclude that Howard stopped expanding toward any kind of greatness at some point along the way. In the end, he gives a shout-out to Radio Gunk for being a 'support community' for people who are breaking with the show. Short, interesting take.
