I get the position of the host through. I mean you'd lose tons of trust if you blindsided someone. I didn't like the Bishop podcast, but I think Steve pushed about as hard as he could. I think Randy has more to lose with his MT centric podcasts than Steve did with Bishop so I understand him having to keep it pretty damn tame. But I talked to people who listened to both, and came away agreeing with the guest. IMO that shouldn't be the outcome.
Exactly my thoughts. By not calling all the BS the casual listener who doesn't know better is prone to think "Hey, Randy/Steve didn't even argue with that point on their own show so maybe there's merit to it". Because Randy calls it like it is when these folks aren't on the podcast, it makes me wonder if having them on and letting nonsense go unchallenged gives their message more legitimacy. Of course the engaged folks of hunttalk can see through it but they weren't the ones that needed to be shown the light.
I've said too much without having heard it and I hope Randy doesn't take this as me thinking I know better or could do better because I sure as hell don't and couldn't. Just venting.
