I am saying strike 2 on this episode.  A few tidbits of information, but generally not much interesting stuff.   Mailbag was the best segment and that didn’t start until the 48th minute of a 51 minute podcast.  Ultimately MGS is about most wanted and equipment evaluation and the production schedule for this needs to match up and discuss the various results.

Yeah I think this was the last episode for me. It's a completely different show now that's frankly not that entertaining or listenable.

Stuck it out for fifteen. 

 

Chris: Question about putters. 

Tony: "No". 

Crickets: Chirp chirp chirp. 

 

Don't find either of the lads funny enough for their carry on at the start that Foreplay or NLU can ride. 

Stick to the #datacratic principles, if there isn't enough content to do an episode, don't do one.

Have to agree that this new format does not work.  The show just doesn't have enough to make me want to stick with it for the duration.  For as much as they want to have that free flowing open format, it really doesn't work as a weekly podcast.  I don't know the full workings behind how the previous shows came together, but I got the impression that Miranda was the one planning the topics and organizing the show format, etc.  Her role as host was also indispensable which may not have been clear at the time, but is certainly noticeable now that the show is without one.  I can see a show with Tony, Chris & Harry just shooting the s*** being entertaining, but it would probably need to be a one-off that only happens a few times a year where they can gather enough content to deliver a solid 45+ minutes of entertainment.  As it is now, it just feels awkward and forced as they try to keep it unstructured but also try to work in the MGS testing results.  IMO, we get the worst of both. 

 

Not to mention that they are discussing results that are month or more old.  I've already dissected that test, discussed it to my heart's content on the forum and moved onto something else.  Getting Tony's impressions/thoughts on it 3 weeks after I am able to go and hit all of the clubs in the store for myself doesn't matter to me.  A huge part of the value in watching is hearing about the equipment in that "hype" time between when it is announced and when I can actually get the clubs in my own hands.  

 

With all that said, it's already been a month now since the last show....have they already decided to pull the plug on this format and relaunch it again for the 100th episode?  Personally, I hope so as I don't want to see the show disappear completely.  Ideally they could get it going again soon with Adam playing the role of host until they can find a permanent replacement for Miranda.  With the exception of the "free fittings" episode, I always like what Adam brought to the show even going back to the beginning when it was just him, harry & Sam Robinson.
