One of the Original Three and the Professor himself, leaving? It's been a sad year for geek podcasts so far.

I'm yet to listen to the latest episode, have to wait at least 4 more hours before I do so. Here is what I'm able to say now:
Fitting image. Good bye Kevin and Michael, we will miss listening to your answers
And I'm not sure why, but some feeling say I shouldn't expect 50 more years of Spider-Man. I want to know if I'll live these 50 years first and see myself at the age of 76, telling my great grand kids how I was this age when Spider-Man was 50 years old

Haven't listened yet but I'm sad to see more of the longterm guys leaving. They both will be missed. I figured Bailey would eventually go because he is so busy and he hasn't been on in months but he contributed a lot of classic laughs and insight while he was on. Kevin has been there from the beginning and has always been a cornerstone of the podcast and site as a whole. He has devoted so much heart into things around here to make it a great place. It's hard to express how integral Kevin has been. I always look forward to his opinion in the podcast. His passion for comics is always right there to be heard. Kevin always interesting takes and well reasoned opinions. Of course when he goes on a rant it is always classic. Without Kevin we wouldn't have something "sucking prison ass". I wish both guys well and I hope they come back for surprise appearances when they can.

Not gonna lie, hearing that both Kevin and Bailey are leaving has severely depressed me. Both have been fine additions to the show, Kevin being there since the beginning. Both have brought so much to the show and made valid points about Spider-Man and comics in general. You've made me laugh so many times, I'm never going to forget Kevin laughing at Brad having to read a Green Lantern question or Michael adding that the Blob would be a bad Marvel neighbour. You guys will be missed greatly.

In this time of loss and pseudo tragedy, I'm gonna try to lighten the mood with a joke.

... You mean Michael Bailey QUIT a podcast?!?!?

As I said on the front page, I'm afraid there will be no one to do the podcast in a few months.

Can someone fill me in on what happened to ASM Classics though? I've only heard that it's over.

More or less that's pretty much it.

And then, I will be running the podcast. Mwahahahahaha.

Love your avatar, by the way.

[Wheatcakes]

Dang, I'm gonna miss those guys. Best wishes to Kevin and Michael, thanks for all the laughs!

[Kevin Cushing]

Thanks so much for the very kind words, both from the guys on the podcast and the folks in this thread. You're all incredibly generous and flattering. Talking to these folks on a monthly basis was some of the most fun I've ever had in my life, and I'm very sad to see it go. But I know they'll keep coming out with top notch entertainment no matter what!

Still haven't had a chance to listen yet but you will still be around the message board right?
