Interesting Listen...Nice Work. Supertopo and the Enormocast are my 2 favorite office "get-aways".

BTW...This is my first official post, I'm no longer a lurker.

Check out the back catalog of Enormocast episodes--many are amazing. Peter Croft and Paul Piana stand out as two of my favorites. Hayden Kennedy was also great. Nina Capraz and Randy Leavitt are also highlights. The Craig DiMartino episode is unbelievable. Lots of amazing history, commentary, and insight on the Enormocast.

Thank guys, glad you dig it!

Survival, nice to hear you think this could be better than the annual "keep it real post."

Maybe i should do an "internal podcast" for the supertopo forum once a year where we just talk about forum issues in a Q and A format?

An internal podcast sounds terrific.

I've said it before, I've said it for years, and I'll say it again - thanks for the forum Chris.

It was the best of Forums, it was the worst of Forums.

Nice interview, Chris.

The Lynne Hill double-header on Enormocast is almost as good...wink-wink

Hey nicely done thanks for posting!

We're currently stressing about a relative with borderline personality disorder and it's reminding me of your challenges with the forum :-) How to help and do some good and get the good stuff that we can get without making things worse and without too much cost and risk to ourselves. For us we're feeling very strongly that we need to disengage both for our sake and for theirs, before we metaphorically have some nutjob going to advertisers slandering us, or worse.

So to some extent I think it's just the nature of our borderline society now and our technological ways of distanced communications. Like your host laughing about pulling the plug on the forum and everyone freaking out and wouldn't that be awesome! :-) It's just kind of human nature one step removed from the immediate feedback.

But I don't know - a lot of people appreciate the freedom of this place that you create, and I think that's good, as long as we can stay one step ahead of insanity!

Thanks!

Jody got it right for a change! That's a jo-joke, Jody. Nice to see your back. :0)

It seems like masterful juxtaposition, doesn't it?

I have a question:

Where is Enormodome in relation to Lembert Dome? I can't find it in "Climbing Routes."

Good "theater of the absurd" touch there.

No its cool, I've never actually talked about the Forum probably this much and so it'll cool to have a record of it and I'll definitely put it on the Forum and then see what kind of response it gets [laughter]

Chris K.
Exactly, they'll f*#kin' hammer you...

Chris Mac
Exactly...

Chris K.
Over and over again...
Be nice! He'll shut it down! Cold turkey! You guys will just auger in! All of a sudden it won't be there. Like people will just flip out! That'll be awesome!
