I'm all for this change, Rob! Kudos!!! This way, you can produce the very best show you and your staff can make without feeling rushed or crunched for time. And you get some breathing room for you and your family, life, and all that important stuff.
I also like the focus on you guys doing series! Like the clownfish one. I CAN'T WAIT to hear that series!!! There's so much to talk about and I'm really looking forward to hearing all the new information that you guys collect about those cool fish.
Here's a suggestion for non-series episodes. How about a news type format where you can take the hottest topic on the forum, present that for 10 or 15 minutes. Then do a segment on reefing technology or equipment for like 10 or 15 minutes. Then do a species profile of a fish or coral and go over it's husbandry. And then finally, if you have enough writers on your staff, you guys can do an episode by episode column about anything else related to reefkeeping, industry news, conservation efforts, product reviews/highlights, etc.
Keep up the GREAT WORK, Rob!!!!
