Chris,

The gnooze now has over 100 episodes in the can, a daily viewership in the neighborhood of 10,000, and I feel comfortable saying the show has “grown up” a bit.

If you ever wanted to give us another look, I’d be interested in your take.

Thanks,

Brian

Hey Chris,

Sorry you don’t like the Gnooze — to each their own, I guess.

But yes, Marta holds a Bachelor of Science from the William Allen White School of Journalism, which is consistently ranked as one of the top 10 journalism schools in the US. Also, she went to college at 16, has an additional BA in Psychology, and reported in Kansas, South Carolina, and Los Angeles before creating and producing the first women’s mobile network (Diva on GoTV). If you’re interested… and I admit I’m waxing on at this point so you’re probably not…

But at any rate, maybe watch again sometime. A lot of people say the show grows on them, and even becomes addictive.

Hey Andrew,

Thanks for the tips! I’ll check The Ointment out.

Hayden,

I was just looping things into broad categories. No offense was meant, just added you in there because of the behind-the-scenes stuff.

Not sure how Goodnight Burbank ended up in the ‘total fakers’section as ALL the news on GNB is 100% genuine.

I would love to add Steve Taitam’s show The Ointment to your list of infotainers. His humor frequently hits the mark and I’m really impressed by his ability to offer daily episodes. Very good show and worth a look!
