I've tried my best to stay out of the debate here but I've finally gotten to listen to Tuesday's show. It didn't get posted to iTunes until Thursday for some reason.
1. Obviously, Pete and the team have paid attention to this thread and are trying to change things up. Kudos to them for that. I didn't think there was a problem that needed fixing but clearly some people felt otherwise.
2. I suspect that skipping introductions was probably an oversight, not intentional.
3. I think totally eliminating Housekeeping is swinging too far in the other direction. That said, they didn't really eliminate it since the first two Rapid Fire items were things that formerly would have been done in Housekeeping (Aulani discount and Med cruise update).
4. I missed the run down of the other shows. I don't think the problem was that it got done. I think the issue was how it got done and how much time got devoted to it. Simply having one person read a brief prepared list of that week's shows wouldn't take more than a minute: Monday the Disneyland team discusses the Walt Disney Museum and the DU show has Tracey's review of CBR; Wednesday's Universal show previews HHN and Best and Worst will discuss the best CS locations at the resorts; Friday DisPop will review the newest Marvel movie. There! Done! How long does it take to read that sentence?
5. Patreon is voluntary.
6. There is NOTHING wrong with DU advertising on this show. They are the ones that pay to make it happen so that all of us can enjoy it week after week. I am quite happy to spend a few minutes hearing about upcoming trips that I'm not going on in order to keep getting tons of free entertainment and information.
