Aside from the whole big discussion here... was my feedback good feedback, or useful? What are the podcasters' thoughts on it? Hopefully it was at least somewhat constructive in some way. Hey boogieman, I'm not sure how much I have to say in response to your earlier post, but did not want to leave you hanging, either. A star-rating system is an interesting thought, but I'm not 100% how to build or implement something like that for the site. Perhaps it's as simple as installing a plug-in, but until we investigate this feature and give it some careful consideration, the reviews will remain as they are. It's a fine idea, though, and certainly one that I think warrants a conversation - so thank you for that suggestion. Regarding the notion of listing the books: Every book we discuss on the podcast is listed in the show notes on our main site as well as elsewhere. It's a feature that listeners often over-look, because well, most of the time people just grab the show from their preferred outlet and call it a day. However, the information you're referring to is always there in the notes. We haven't always provided this information, but after several requests for it (in the past), we've been sure to include that info. I hope that helps. As for the book suggestion, I can only speak for myself here, but I would guess that this will come down to matter of personal interest. As you might know - save for a few publishers who do provide us with review copies - we pay for all of our own books. Often times, for me at least, I've found it difficult to get my hands on more independent graphic novels or books from companies like Black Mask, ect. Unlike some of my co-hosts, I do not actively engage in purchasing comics online - not just because I'm a fan of physical media, but because I've experienced nothing but aggravation when hoping to use my tablet to access places like Comixology, ect. I have written the title of the book down, though, and will keep it in mind during my travels to and from the states. I hope that I've offered you some insight to your suggestions and questions. Again, I can only speak for myself as my compatriots could very well have solutions or suggestions unlike my own. Thaks so much for offering your feedback, as it is always valued.

Yeah, thanks for the big detailed response, that's pretty cool. Hopefully it didn't sound like I was demanding you guys buy books or something, lol. Those are just some comics I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on, but obviously I understand that you guys have factors like time and money etc. that affect how much you can buy, like any of us, but you also probably have further restraints because of the podcast and everything. So yeah, I definitely understand that you'll get to any extra stuff when/if that's possible, and hopefully I didn't come across the wrong way, like I was making demands on the podcast or something, lol. My suggestion in terms of the book listings and star rating-system was mainly suggesting the whole star-rating thing, with the book listing bit being part of a possible way of implementing that, rather than a separate suggestion, if that makes sense. But yeah, I wouldn't know about how to implement a possible star-rating system either, since I know nothing about technical stuff like that. But, hopefully it's a cool idea that's attainable. Anyway, thanks for the detailed response.
