I'm the guys that wrote Ben to tell him I actually enjoy when the show goes off on crazy tangents, as it often makes for interesting off-topic conversations. It's a product of podcasting with interesting personalities, I've always thought.

What is your take on the show going on tangents? Love it or loathe it?

There can be an art form to rants. Ben should try very hard to avoid doing it, and the others could make a game out of trying to trick him into starting one.

I like DrSaltine's suggestion. Ben's rants are sometimes the best parts of the podcasts, but making a game out of something is always fun.

That's why, for example, I suggested he try to rant about "food, etc... in Sci Fi" for as long as he could without giving anyone else a chance to speak way back when.

...and the reasoning behind my stupid knock-knock joke.

I hope you enjoy it, because there is no stopping it. Smile

Whoever said anything about stopping it? I'm trying to figure out how to induce more of it! Twisted Evil

A lot of those rants and tangents actually end up digging deeper into subjects that I drift off on myself when listening to the show anyway. Razz So it saves me from missing parts of the podcast!

I generally listen at work, and the tangents are a wonderful distraction.
