CF Chronicles: Larry's Last Days

Me and a few of my friends wore mock turtlenecks to that. It got pretty hot with the long sleeves on as I remember. The dude with the ISU fire engine even showed up. Bruce and a few other administration officials were watching it from behind a tree over more towards Curtis Hall. Looking back I feel like an idiot for supporting him.
Me, too. I was thinking another part was coming, I figured either I misunderstood or simply didn't notice it. Where did part 3 leave off?
A total guess on my part, maybe if it had been an embarrassing one-time incident, he might've been suspended, but not fired. Could've been the straw that broke the camels back, or as was suggested earlier, Vande Velde wanted to axe him prior to that, and the party situation gave him a convenient reason.
Those who know the story much better than I can confirm/dispute any of that.
That's CW's deal but I know he is still committed to it being done at some point. It is just a really time consuming process. Ross and I spent eight hours in the studio across three days on just part one of this project. CW finding time to hunker down in the studio like that is a tall task right now. It will be done at some point just hard to really say when with any certainty.
Cool. I assumed those types of podcasts consume more time than most people would think. First, you have to structure the storyline, do the interviews, then piece together sound clips to wave with the narration (among other things).
That's the impression I've gotten over the years, but I have no recollection of the relationship as it happened at the time.
Larry wasn’t a real nice guy to
Be around.
Bruce was hired to be a bad guy, and he is a bad guy so it was easy for him, to tighten up the budget after Gene Smith financed his way to a better job in Tempe.
Larry telling him to **** off, Bruce being a spiteful prick, and Pete Taylor dying, it was gonna blow up.
The Pete dying thing was a big deal. Bruce knew he couldn’t go up against him, and Larry respected him. It all went off the rails when he passed.
Part 2 coming soon?
Really enjoyed this pod but bit perplexed by release schedule. Why wait 2 weeks between episodes?

Jared went on vacation right after the 1st episode. I think he said he would get the 2nd done as soon as he got back or shortly after
Actually would be an interesting pod covering the darkest times in program history.
The fall from grace from the success of the 70s would be a great topic to cover.
Seriously though, I hate the cryptic "I know something you don't" bull ****
Agree. If you're gonna claim you have reliable evidence about something, be prepared to spill at least some of the beans. If not, why bother drawing attention to it?
Almost worse than that: "Such-and-such is common knowledge [even if it actually isn't to the majority of fans] ... then refusing to divulge anything when pressed for details.
I want to be clear that I am in no way singling you out but, lets remember that these pods take tons of work to put together. Jared, Chris and the CF staff do great work and they do have families and lives outside of CF. I think the product will be worth the wait
Let's cut them some slackBecause its not done yet. That's like asking why they didn't just release all the Star Wars Movies at the same time.
