Contrary to other readers, I listen to the podcast, and I think you guys do an incredible job. Rob and Andy have a great rapport, and you each have excellent "radio" voices (literally and metaphorically). I love the passion you guys bring to the podcast and share with your audience.

I'm bummed that other people won't listen to you guys in your element and instead demand you produce precisely the content they want to consume.

Keep doing what you're doing – I feel closer to the Cal sports community when I listen to the pod, which is more important than ever in the social distancing era.

Now I feel inclined to comment--my first time ever on WFC. I would support a written summary. I don't have time to listen to a podcast, but I do have time to read a summary and would enjoy participating in a conversation.

Rob Hwang, your overreaction is off-putting. Nobody is asking you to stop doing the podcast. People are asking you to meet them where they're at--a lot of people prefer reading. Obviously we value what you're doing and what you have to say, otherwise we wouldn't be on here in the first place.

"We want people to listen to the podcast not just read a Wikipedia summary of the episode"--really, wouldn't you rather understand what your audience wants and give that to them? Do you want a broad audience? Or do you only do what you want to do? If so, just understand the consequences: a limited reach.
