The only time I noticed the “I” was when she said something like, “Today Nathan and I are in such-and-such store…” I have no problem with “I” stories. I just think you need to choose whether it’s a first-person story or a third-person story and go with it. In this case, I think she could have kept it as a third-person story. For instance, if Nathan was her friend and she was hanging out with him and shopping, it would make sense for her to mention herself. But since she was following Nathan as a reporter, to me it seems like she should have kept herself out of the narration.

Rob, I miss your one-liner introductions to the saltast. Buckle up, smoke if you got’em, shhh.

I don’t know whether you ran out of them, ran out of steam for doing them, or encountered some hard and sound reason why not to use them any more… I’m doubting the latter, so I want to recommend to things:

1) that you re-incorporate them into the podcast
and 2) that you call out to your listeners to submit their introductions. This will be a great way you can encourage community within your listening family, making at least feel like we’re integrated into the show…

My recommendation is this:
I am the Walrus. This is the Saltcast.
