Doesn’t bother me per se – but seems unnecessary. I like the “uncanned” casual presentation generally speaking – but think the program could be “tightened” up just a bit, perhaps keep the audio pace a bit quicker (lessen “off topics” without purging all personality) – use web links as followup for things that require more detail or explanation. Generally speaking a good program.

It doesn’t bother me at all. Keep up the good work.

I enjoy the podcasts and the wealth of knowledge that you share but, I have to admit, I catch myself wondering how old you guys are and thinking how great you’ll be when you mature a little. Keep up the good work but maybe in a slightly more “adult” professional manner =D

I’m not offended by it, but you definately sound more professional if you keep it to a minimum. Sometimes a good (natural)f-bomb is really funny, but I don’t think you want to make it the norm.

I am with Kraig.

Don’t censor the show but try and keep the swearing to the off topic.

I know you are trying to keep a relaxed show but people are coming to you for your professional advice — whether that is your format or not so you should be as informally professional as possible.

A well placed f-bomb can be good but I often find the f-bombs used on the fit cast are a little awkward and don’t improve the quality of the show.

I’m going to weigh in here, though I see I am in the minority. I would love to enjoy a cleaner FitCast, though I do not think that full on censorship with bleeps or severe editing is necessary. Maybe just more consideration by our beloved hosts and their guests would suffice. I personally do not swear; I’m not hypersensitive to it, I work in a correctional facility and hear F-bombs all day long. However, I do find vulgarity in general unpleasent and would love it if my favorite podcast avoided it.
The FitCast is fun and educational, a rare combination for fitness fans. But as someone said, “Free speech is enhanced by civility”.
In response to those who would say, “Find another podcast if you don’t like it.”, I would say, “What other podcast?” This one is one-of-a-kind.

Don’t sensor. Great, relaxed format. Just listening to the off topic & agree with Leigh. It’s good to be conscious of kids listening, but don’t get hung up on it. Adults – Get over it.

I listen to this show not only due to the great information, but also due to the nice feel it has and how it actually just sounds like friends talkiing (which it basically is).

And if the parents aren’t capable of informing and making it apparant to their little kids that swearing is wrong, but most rely on blocking it out through censoring, then they aren’t fit to be parents.

So please don’t censor it, there’s enough censoring all around us already and it’s like being suffocated.
