I can’t believe you’re really killing her off (without explanation of what is happening behind the scenes or what provoked this decision). This is really sad. What you are doing now isn’t bad at all of course, I just prefer bizarre, vulgar, socio-political character-driven comedy shows than audio blogs.
E-mail me when and if she ever returns from the dead. Bye for now.
Matt Austrailia,
You promised you would never leave!
I have very good reasons for doing what I did and they will be explained soon, probably on eths. I have given buffy FOUR SEASONS of a chance becuase of you. The least you can do is give me more than two days.
You’re right. I will. It’s just such a dramatic change.
right. it’s like when angel aturned evil
Hahaha. You’re such a bitch.
I think perhaps richard will have a little more credibility, Madge had some important things to say but credibility is lost when it comes from a gay guy that is pretending to be a bloated lesbian.
Boycott 7-Eleven
btw.. it’s spelled habeas corpus
Life’s Good with Madge Weinstein in it……I’ll miss my Madge.
Richard,
Part of me think this is some type of joke by you. If it is, then its very clever.
If it is legit, than I hope you are not making a mistake. Giving up a winning strategy, in a world full a dime-a-dozen podcasts and blogs is risky.
No question Richard Bluestein is a smart, intelligent guy — but there are a million smart intelligent guys on the internet.
I would hate to see you give up a good thing and the next thing we see from you is something like “Richard Bluestein’s Across America VLOG”
Don’t be the next Amanda Congdon.
And please don’t make my mistake. At the time leaving NYPD Blue sure seemed like the smart thing to do.
WTF is going on. I hate this out. Now your wp is all fucked ontop of madge being fucked. I might as well not kill myself now.
Sorry Mr. Zeeche. Remember… she’s not dead yet, just dying.
Hey Mr Zeeche, get ready to write a Requiem for Madge. Something along the lines of ‘Remember Me’ from Dido and Aeneus (or Dildo and Anus for the fart-poop-squelch gang) perhaps?
Seriously, though, I’m really *glad* to hear Richard, rather than Madge. IMHO, the shows that touched me most were when the mask slipped. Richard has so much to say about the world around him, and it doesn’t need to be said from behind a mask. A lesson for us all, perhaps?
Anyhow, keep up the splendid work, Richard – I, for one, am staying subscribed…
oh get fucked TP. that is a bunch of BS.
I’ll take that as a complement from you, whore.
What’s with the ghost noises in the Flatowitz remix? I thought my iPod was haunted.
THIS SHOW SUCKED ASS! TOTALLY BORING AND HUMDRUM (HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MADGE)!
While I certainly hope that Madge doesn’t die, I am also very intrigued by this change. I am sure there are reasons for this that are none of our fucking business. This show has always been an audio blog. Whether you realize it or not, we have learned alot about about Richard through Madge. If you love Madge, then you love Richard. He obviously needs a break from Madge, and even if he kills her as a character, she will never die completely.
YR listeners are NOW getting the chance to experience his talent without the filter and if that’s too audio bloggish for you, then GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!
This change somehow feels like a natural progression. I’m glad to hear Richard’s voice speaking as and for himself. It has revived my interest in the show.
I agree with maupassant and Rebecca. It does feel like a natural progression and things need to keep moving to stay fresh.
I think I am listening more attentively and it makes a change to actually like the host (!!). I’ll miss the comedy of Madge but some things have been starting to wear a little thin and she can get in the way at times.
I think this is a brave move and a good one. Just keep giving it your best, Richard.
if madge weinstein is dead then so is podcasting. Ofcourse I’ll definately still listen to RichB, he sounds alot like madge, he’s like clark kent, madge is a fucking superman, she was a hero of mine, I’m off now to take a big hard shit but I’ll be back soon, in the meantime couldn’t we have one last madge show???
I mean this is too much too handle – she’s gotta go out on a bang we need a 1hour+ celebration of this magical cunt, otherwise the last 2 years were for nothing, she’s real to some of us (crazies) this is like divorce without separation, shit without smell……it’s just not right, fuck the world, if madge is dead then so am I.
My list of fav deads:
Elvis
Madge
Janis
Cunt Cobain
Jim Morrison
Albert Weinstein
Chauncey
The fat bitch from mamas and papas
Maurice Gibb
Uncle Pete
Grace Jones (ugly cunt from view to a kill)
Now you’re talking! Bingo!
Think Tinkerbell!
Mr. Zeeche always understands me.
Grace Jones isn’t dead is she??
no it’s still alive but oneday she will die, I met her once and she was rude as I left the table I farted.
what is the world coming to? madge is this richard character? i don’t understand.
next think you know cheryl will claim to be that goddamned, faggot ass bitch, bottom boy, and oh so ugly twnk puffy.
FINIS
I really hope Madge doesn’t die. I am going to miss her, no matter how I try to work this in my head.
She’s a cunt, for sure, but some of my favourite people have been cunts. Everyone has faults, it’s better to see them out in the open than lurking under the surface. With Madge it is the opposite, as underneath hides a heart of gold.
I don’t think anyone else could rant like Madge, she never knew her own strength. I’d do anything for that bloated whore. Well, a lot of things.
None of this will stop me listening, it’s just sad. 🙁
i will miss her, how come her brother richard bluestein is taking over ? i’m confused ?
We are not related, Al.
I’m sad!! The website is changed and everything! Awww i miss my madgey!!
i reaaally hopes she comes back!!
Christ, finally some people with some god damn sense post. I love richTURD as much as the next fucked up cunt, smokey slut, whore… but come on people. If you miss madge.. then you better fucking let her know. CHRIST. Oh yeah… lets just go along with EVERYTHING… like a bunch of passive PUSSY motherfuckers. RIGHT. I am sorry.. but Madge is one of the few whores that I actually don’t hate (mostly)… and believe me, there are not many people I don’t not hate (mostly).
I am going to go burn MADGE into my leg with a few cigs. Maybe the pain will make me feel real again…. or at least make my cunt moist.
P.S- I was listening to some classic yeast the other day (1/19/05)… love this little W-2-THE-EINSTEIN….
Just kill yourself and get it over with.
Yay, the lazy fuck finally fixed the god damn nesting comments. CORNGRATS.
And no, I won’t “get it over with” by killing myself… that is WAY too easy. Instead, I will smoke you out honaye.
Now fix the rest of the god damn site and make it madge-whore-ific again.
Agreed, Cheryl. It’s like Amy Sedaris killing off Jerri Blank. Or John Waters going on without Divine. Both are great in different ways but still…
Amy should have killed Jerri.
http://flickr.com/photos/tags/podcastexpo/interesting/ speaks volumes.
Bring Madge back from that rat hole you fuken beyotch! SHE MAKES MY LEE-YIPS ALL ENGORGED AND TWITCHY! RICHY IS FINE BUT I MUST HAVE THE SHOCK JOCK WITHOUT A COCK! HELL, I’D EVEN BE WILLING TO PAY THAT CUNT’S VETERINARY BILLS TO GET HER ALL WELL AGAIN AND BACK ON THE INTERNETS!
I like Richard. I have grown to love Madge. I know it must be tiring for her to do her “er-em-eh-huh, er-em-eh-huh, er-em-eh-huh,” and misuse her plurals’ses, but she is now part of my psyche.
My use of profanity has reached a point where I am not sure what I am saying sometimes. It has gotten me into trouble a few times. I attribute that to Madge.
Also, I am more acceptant of my fat than ever.
Madge’s is the only podcast that matters. She knows it and is just doing this whole thing to get some attention.
Well, now you got our attention. You don’t have to kill Madge to be Richard.
Unless of course you have to.
The only critical difference I see between Madge and Richard has to do with the verbal mannerisms, some of which on Madge’s part I could have done without, others were quite catching. Richard will still be Madge in many ways.
Get fucked
Oh, and no one gives a shit about what you could have “done without” or what you liked. Srsly. Not to be mean or anything.. cause I would NEVER do that.
I just knew you would have something to say!
I’m sick of agreeing with Cheryl but seriously get fucked. To the people who shrug and say “what will be the difference?” and “oh I hated the profanity anyway etc” or “Madge clouded the message of the show” then you clearly didn’t get the show in the first place and I don’t know why the fuck you’re here. Go back to your inoffensive personality-less tech podcast hosts who don’t have an opinion on anything and leave the subversive content to the people who can handle it.
Madge’s over the top persona and shocking vulgarity was a clear comment AGAINST the watered down commercialization of boring, mainstream radio and if you think Richard’s hilarious social-political commentary was “hindered” rather than enhanced by the Madge character, then you’re an idiot.
Blah Blah Blah, Matt. I think *you* are missing the point. Rather than support Richard in his decision, you just rant about we never ‘got’ Madge. Maybe you don’t ‘get’ Richard, in which case *you* are the idiot.
well said Matt from Oz
Anderum-huh.
Don’t tell Madge she doesn’t exist.
Brings a tear to my eye.
me too.
Possible redesign for this site. Feedback appreciated.

I don’t like the drab colors. Plus Richard is totally washed out with the gray-on-gray.
Thanks, Matt. I’ll definitely take your comments on
boredboard.Don’t you think maybe it was people like me whom Madge was talking to? You don’t break boundries if you just preach to the choir. I kept listening.
Reply above at 10:56 was to Matt the Australian, sorry, got the wrong link, I guess.
Madge `’dies” on the very day that habeas corpus also dies? What are you thinking? She could be the satirical armour between you and the gulag.
Oh. didn’t think of that. Oops.
I find it hard to belive that the Democrats are keeping quiet incase they upset people before the mid-terms! What is wrong with these people? What they are saying is that the Republican party is dictating Democrat policy and manifesto.
I have a question that I hope someone can help me with.. do the Democrats have a party leader? In the UK all political parties have a leader, even when they are in oposition. For example, the Concervatives have David Cameron as leader, and now that Blair has been kicked out the UK might have Cameron for leader before too long!
Cookie ..
What does Cookie have to do with all this?
… I’m a fan.
I filled my store with drag… Fiesta Fiesta Fiesta.
I’ve been ‘thinking about revolution’.
Do whatever.
Genius.
I will miss Madge! I am looking forward to getting to know Richard though. The whole get or not get Madge is irrelevant. Good podcasting is good podcasting. You would not be here if you did not recognize that Richard is the best thing going. If you can’t handle the artistic change that he is entitled to do by this point, go listen to Feast of Fools or some other show that focuses on being the most popular or the coolest. Richard has never tried to be the American Idol of podcasting. He doesn’t talk down to us he just shows us life. If that’s too real for you, get fucked and leave the rest of us out of it…
