Of course you should keep comments for the podcast. Like the regular posts you should be ready to Face the Music from your listeners.

Good point! To be clear, comments are always on, but I was wondering if discussion questions are useful.

I frequently want to comment on a podcast but am rarely in a position to do it. I also don’t usually listen to your podcast with the quickness that I have for reading. Mostly that’s because I usually read my mail in the morning with breakfast while podcasts are a catch as I’m doing something else which doesn’t always happen. And I usually have a podcast already started when I open my podcast player.

I’d say leave the comments open though.

Thanks for this feedback! Comments will remain open, but I’m not sure if I’ll provide discussion questions, or just leave it more free form.

Fun episode! I love the concept of Music League, based on what I've read and heard in Situation Normal. I'm sorry you lost partly due to Christmas, though there are a number of winter-focused holiday songs written by Jews, such as "Let it Snow" and "Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland."

If people are commenting without the questions, maybe you don't need them.

Thanks for this! I realize I may have asked this question in a funny way. Comments are always welcome, it’s really the questions I’m questioning.

Michael, I think you have unwittingly offered a solution to prevent future insurrections: Disputes regarding elections will not be resolved via insurrection, but by group chat - brilliant!

Bold position, but hard to argue with. Who are your favorites?

These are all excellent choices! But I’m really glad to see you have Warren Zevon and Linda Ronstadt on this list.
