Not that this is a controversy, or that Larry needs my defense, but I understand where he's coming from. I used to be involved with producing a wrestling television broadcast (the content is apples and oranges, I know, but bear with). I was both the booker, which means I plotted out the matches, angles, and direction of the show, and was the on-air announcer. I also helped in post-production. It was supposed to be a part-time gig, but it the entire process was still very time consumptive. There came a point where I had to back off from it in order to focus on other projects, my real vocation (teaching), family life, and my writing. Putting a show together can force all of that to the back, where you may not get to it.
Larry's show is my favorite, too, and I miss it, but I understand why it's on self-imposed hiatus.
At least we have the DVDs!
