The FAWcast run has ended

[ChrisMWilliams]

Bittersweet deal for me. Was a great run and I appreciate Mark's friendship and support of CF but it's time to move on. People evolve over the years. Things change. Mark has goals of his own and with a second kid coming in a few weeks, I'm more focused on being a great dad/father than ever before, along with putting the rest of my energy into growing CF and KXnO. Nothing contentious about the end of this but I'm excited about what I will be able to put that 3-4 hours a week on Thursday towards going forward. Thanks to all who listened over the years.

really going to miss the FAWCAST. i thought it really complimented the rest of the content CF put out. not everything needs to be super in depth sports related. a few of the recent episodes where definitely not kid friendly. wonder if that had anything do do with its sudden ending?

Had nothing to do with it. The FAW has never been kid friendly and I like to think we were pretty open about that.

Bummer. I only started listening recently but definitely looked forward to it every week. Does anyone know if the old episodes still stand up or is there a lot of current event talk that wouldn't be relevant now?

What the crap.... The fawcast made my commutes home on Friday evening enjoyable and kept my road rage to a minimum.

Too bad it's ending but you can't force something that doesn't want to be there. Good show and I also hope they do a finale podcast.

I remember a couple years ago Mark was thinking of stopping then decided to double down and donate even more to CF.

What's a Fawcast?

I would say give it a go. I didn't start on it for about a year and a half into it and eventually went back and started from the beginning and it holds up for the most part, as much as it can being current event/sports related.

I always thought it was better in the off season anyways as I like off topic random chat podcasts, it's just nice to hear from the stance of someone like you (middle America Iowa state fan, middle aged).

I know some don't like Charter but I thought he was great, like LeBatard at ESPN, in on the joke that it's not really a sports show and shouldn't be taken overly serious.

Glad CW can spend some more time with his family and passions though. Although he name dropped KXNO so are we second fiddle now?

Haha no chance. CF is basically family. Lifestyle, not a job. And I mean that

Fawcast was great. Thanks guys

Pretty obvious that Williams needs to squeeze some more time into his work week with kid 2 dropping right before football season. FAWcast was fun, but non essential to what CF is. Makes sense to me.

The big twist in the end --

Just like Michael Jordan, it was actually an undisclosed suspension for gambling.

The episode with Charters Mexican vacation and you talking about someone pooping under a bed? That was the best.

 

[ppclone]

Is Charter still a CF sponsor?

 

[CloneGuy8]

Best episode was probably when Gray missed the show due to diarrhea

Won’t miss it. Listen to the first couple. Couldn’t handle Charter’s narcissistic stream of consciousness. Seemed like he never matured.

Appreciate d his support but sure didn’t want to listen to what he paid for.

Of course I come for content, not what he wanted to talk about.

Probably more in play here. About a month ago my former roomate was laid off from his realtor firm in West Des Moines. They ended up laying off half the office.

I really like the show CW. I really thought the Mark was a great center piece of conversation and entertainment, then having KK on giving the woman's perspective was fun to! Hope Charter has plans to do his shown like he has been doing on FAW, I'd listen to it.

FTR, I actually really enjoyed the interview with Chris Soules the Bachelor.
