December 26, 2008 at 5:34 PMHELLO. A few quick points here:
1) I pitched that show to the CPod folks back in February. I hoped it would turn into a job offer, but it didn't. That's how these things go.
2) There are similarities, yes, but I talked with John when his Radical Show aired and I don't believe there was any intentional theft involved.
3) I've dropped nearly 40 pounds since I shot that video. Yay! :)
4) I am flattered that people come to my defense on this. I was a bit peeved when I first saw John's show, but we're cool now.
Nothing to see here, people. Move along, move along.

December 26, 2008 at 6:08 PMcalkins - Thanks very much! I remain sorry that I won't be working with the fine folks at ChinesePod, especially since I'm moving to Shanghai in February, but they've already got a talented bunch of people over there. I think maybe they hit their quota. ;-)
