I'll start!

Adam,
I have been listening since 2009 when I discovered the show, I went back and listen to the older episodes and every one since. A great way to fill the hour drive to work and home again. Traffic in Toronto area is not the best.
The Pokercast is always the first I would listen too. In the past I played in the league as well as regularly in the Invitational. My Dad got me playing late in 2008 on Pokerstars for real money. He didn't listen but on Sundays, we would grind the lower limit tournaments, often railing each other during the day and talking after we busted. The invitational was a regular he would play as I would send him the password and no we are not Russian.
It was a great way for us to connect on Sundays and talk poker, even with him living 4 hours north of Toronto. During the 2010 WSOP we went down for a week and I played a few events and we explored Vegas, listening to his stories of Vegas in the 90's when he would go down for 3 - 4 months in the winter. Parking his RV in a Camp Ground close to the Horseshoe.
We played for fun and I would play a few live tournaments a year for fun, often as part of a vacation.
The last episode was the hardest I have had to listen too. Sunday he went deep in the Sunday Storm, busting out in top 500 or so (2nd time in a count of weeks). We then video talked on Skype so he could talk to my 9 month old. Sometime during the week he pasted away in his sleep and we found out on Friday. On Saturday I had to make the 4 hour drive north, but I was able to listen to the podcast on my way up. The hard part was when the password was given and I felt an emptiness knowing I couldn't email it to him. Playing on this last Sunday had a empty feel to it, but I will try to grind up some funds to go play the WSOP Seniors this year or the main event in his honor.
Thanks for all the great episodes, keep it up. I like the new format just as much as the old. I am glad you came into your own style quickly (I was worried for a few episodes) and Terrance has settled into the role of sidekick.
The Love Jar is still my favourite.
