The Other Side of Midnight - Richard C. Hoagland - Live Chat Thread

[AppealPlay]

i have a feeling we are going to have more crazy hoagie than interview hoagie now

Yeah, that would be a plus for me.  Love me some nutty Hoagie.

I just emailed Richard with my condolence. rch@othersideofmidnight.com

I'll give myself 30 days, figuring SaucyRossy has already lined up some guests, but after that if the show goes the way I fear it might, I am going to save $5 a month.

I have been a supporter and a subscriber, but I reserve the right to control my discteionary spending.

We'll see. I hope RCH keeps getting better and gets a producer that works at least as hard as Rossy did.

Today has been a troubling day for me, so maybe I am just in a cynical frame of mind.

Ya know, this really sucks, but, somehow...I think it's going to be all right.

The magic hand of Art will prevail.

I think Richard will get a producer that suits his personality.

Guests will be booked that entertain and enlighten...and Richard will be Richard

[Mild Bill]

Just got a reply to the email I sent Richard:

Bill,

Thanks for the note.

I'm sad to see Ross go; it was his decision, not mine.

Hope so. Time for a mass cconciousness experiment.

[bateman]

The guests have really complimented Richard, and it could not have been easy to make that happen from a booking standpoint. Whoever the replacement is has a hell of a job ahead of them.

Rossy leaves some really big shoes to fill.

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of turnover, and other drama, at DMDN and Art's show, especially for what, at least appears to me, to be a relatively small operation employee-wise. I really hope it turns out ok because MITD and OSOM have really been good thus far. I expected it of Art but RCH has really impressed me.

[Mild Bill]

A mass consciousness experiment has to be focused to be effective. Braapers are befuddled. Positive thoughts for an adequate producer are the best I can come up with

[eddie dean]

Good luck Saucy!
Whatever the next chapter brings, I'm sure it will be successful.

[SaucyRossy]

Let this be absolutely be clear, I decided to leave on for my own reasons, I put a lot of things on hold when I took this up and I'd like to get back to those projects. Art, Heather, Keith, Rich, and Amy are amazing people.

RCH has really impressed a lot of us.

No misunderstandings and sorry if I came off as criticizing you in some way. You did a great job on OSOM etc and I wish you the best in whatever future endeavors; I just hope OSOM keeps trucking along because I enjoy it.

[SaucyRossy]

Thanks, just wanted to be clear that this had nothing to do with Art, etc. et al

[chefist]

You did a fabulous job, Ross! Leave good operating procedures! 

Best of luck on your future endeavors! If you need anything drop me a line!

[Mild Bill]

I'm sure that everyone at Dark Matter Digital Network wishes you the best.

Your future is in your hands, Rossy, grab it!

that sounds dirty

Oh, you naughty, naughty boy

Just finished listening to the conscious-stars show.  What a freakin head trip!  Uncle Hoagie seemed thrilled with the guest you found, the conversation was so genial and so casually intelligent, and my poor brain stretched nearly to snapping.  You guys've made something utterly unique, and I haven't said often enough how much I appreciate it.

I'm curious.  Are you B_Dubbs significant other?

[K_Dubb]

Ha I should be so lucky!  Nope, probably same last initial is all.

[ShayP]

Wow.    This news was unexpected.  Dammit Rossy!   

Nonetheless...we've experienced, and I believe will continue to experience, a show we never thought possible and I'm grateful for the work Ross has done.  Hat's off to him for dealing will our antics as well.  I can only imagine how many PM's and emails he received that caused him to clinch his jaw (at least).

Seriously, no matter what happens, Ross helped build a foundation for OSOM and I'm confident it will continue to be a 'Braaping' good time.   I also have faith that Hoagie's growth as a host will continue.  The culture for the show has been developed and nurtured.  We are part of it. 

Ross, thank you for the work you've done and I wish you success in your upcoming endeavors.  Thanks for always responding and always willing to chat to the people here.  You'll still be around here at times so there's no need to say goodbye.  Cheers to you....and Braaps!

[Mild Bill]

There will be a few braapers surprised Monday night such as Hoagies Honeys...TigerLily, Sandra, Maren, LoneVoice....Then there's Barfly, pate, Trey etc.

Rossy did a fantastic job getting guests. I do think the show will suffer without him as producer.

I'm worried about that too.

Sometimes I feel like the odd man out here.  I know I can't be the only one who loves the insane guests, right?  Anyone else out there?

I partake in the crazy sometimes.    I wouldn't say I "love" it though.
