Okay,

The problem I had was this:

The two of you spoke clear and (your)normal selves where as I had a terrible time trying to adjust my speaker when Robert talked. Robert seemed to talk frequently faster and in lower tone and it was hard to hear what he had to say.

I had to postition my speakers so I could turn them up and down the entire time, it was not enjoyable to have to do this.

Now, as for what he spoke about and what I could make out... it was all logical and common sense stuff as far as I am concerned.

I am slightly disappointed myself because I didn't care to hear about past history and connections, what I wanted to hear was his knowledge of ufo's and alien's.

I had a hard time in some area's when he was speaking of the Grey's but from what I got he was basically right on, but he made it sound as if they are doing something we don't do.

People have to realize weather they like it or not this is the way it is....

hmmm.. This is something we'll try and rectify on future interviews... Outside of there not being any edits, we did attempt to boost our guests volumne the best we could. You'd be surprised by how low in volumne and quality a conference call can be... When Dave and I do an interview, we both wear headphones and so were not distracted with outside sounds (PC Fans, Air Conditioners, etc.). But we hear your concerns, and will try to 'somehow' fix this in future shows/interviews.

Glad you did enjoy what you could hear...

Observe, I agree. The volume problem was a nuisance - the mix needed better compression, for sure. You live and learn.

Robert is a fascinating guy, with volumes of knowledge to speak from. However, I was dissatisfied listening to this interview for a couple of reasons:

BEWARE! Constructive Criticism Ahead

1) The interview was a tangled mess of thoughts. Granted, Robert may be a tangential speaker, but the interviewer must always keep the discourse focused and directed. This is likely something that you guys will get better at over time.

2) The interview was too long for a single sitting. I certainly respect the reasoning behind doing it the way you did. But regardless, you can only listen to the same thing for so long before you lose interest. This might should have been split up between multiple shows after all.

3) There weren't any other goodies! I like hearing the usual segments - member ideas, discussions, updates, etc. This time, there was no show - just a huge interview.

Now, Dave & Johnny... please do not take any offense to this, or assume that I don't appreciate your efforts! I am an avid listener, and give you guys mad-kudos in my posts and podcasts. I just wanted to give you my honest opinion while the show is still young and stretching its legs.

Keep up the good work!

Yeah, having member's opinions and talking about threads and stuff makes for a much better show.

Yes I can agree with that as well. The interviews are great, but my favorite part of the show is the discussions about current threads at ATS, and listening to what members have to say about certain subjects.

Otherwise, the show is doing great keep up the good work

This is the purpose of show threads...... FEEDBACK. As was pointed out, I TOO prefer the MIX of things.... but in all honesty, Robert was such a gracious guest.... and splitting it up over 6 shows, which is what we are having to do with John Lear.... would put our other scheduled guests too far down the way. So... it was an executive decision on Johnny's and my part to do it this way... especially since the UFO COMMUNITY in ATS is a STRONG ONE.

Thanks again everyone for your comments..... and as every attorney I ever FIRED would say..... "We will take it under advisement."

I do think you guys are the best.

I guess I was hoping he had ET/UFO information that was fresh so I was disappointed.

I look forward to the humor the two of you bring to your shows and I missed not having that this time.

Well I dont have a word for how much I loved this two part show, it was just beyond great. Loved listening to what Robert Morningstar had to say, I didn't take to great an interest into ufo's and the like until now.

Kind of relaxing actually, I just sat in my bed and sucked in all the information, time flew bye.

Robert's volume was a little low, but I didn't have a hard time understanding what he had to say. I just wished that you guys would interupt him every now and then. If you hadn't run out of time guy would still be talking.

And I, too, missed the discussion of current threads and member podcasts. I especially love when you guys discuss the threads and read some of what members have written in them.

That said, I'm glad that the entire Morningstar interview was put out all at once. Now, back to the real show!!

Thanks for your comments and contributions to this show thread!

Dave
