Magazine wars? I mean it's a big issue but who wants to hear pro-Weider guy Chick blast MD for an hour.  Dont get Shawn Ray on there or we'll never hear an opinion.  If Romano shows up someone is going to have a meltdown.

Dan should "accidentally" hang up on Shawn when he starts rambling.

God, that man loves to talk!

No one really cares as i doubt many people on here read the damn things. By the time they report the Montreal we'll all be discussing the Olympia and Mr Getbig.

This should be an interesting way for us in the peanut gallery to learn more about the writers.  I'd suggest a few things:

1) Dan is awesome at this, but Bob is not - I would ask that the hosts remain very very neutral this week during the debate.  Do not offer opinions on the mag wars.  Otherwise it'll quickly become a 2 on 1, as Bob and Team FLEX take on MD. (See: Lee priest radio piece)   If Bob can - even just this week - step back and just ask awesome questions, and each side receives equal time to respond, it'd be awesome, and it'd be true journalism! 

2) Now, for Bob himself, I'd like to ask him to tell us this:
Please tell us the difference between 2 Bbing mags and 2 Bbing federations.  Please tell us why it's A-okay for the sport to have two magazines, but two federations is very bad for the sport.  Why is it cool to divide up the BBing audience into segments for marketing publications, but dividing up the federations (mass=ifbb and aesthetics=pdi) is a terrible idea you've argued so vehemently against?

3) Finally, at the end, I would design a structure and earmark 3 minutes so that each guest can hae 20 seconds to make ONE statement which summarizes his points and positions.  Tell them ahead of time so they can write it down.  The radio show is awesome but closure is sometimes a little awkward.  i'd like to hear each person have EXACTLY 20 seconds to share his composed thoughts with the listeners so that we walk away with the impression of a series of thinking points, not 6 guys yelling over each other as we run out of time.

Just have a cage match between the Weider athlethes and MD's.

don't rush him. 
We are starting him off slowly.  Today a couple of mags, maybe next month a book.
It will be an Archie Book, but it is still a book.

I am starting a collection to buy him a speak and spell, so cut the guy some slack.

You also have the NABBA, the WABBA, and lot of other fun groups.  But as with all fields, there are always two names that are known.  Coke & Pepsi.  Nike & Reebok.  Hertz & Avis. XBOX & PS2.  Dems and Repubs.  FLEX & MD. Come on man, this is mktg 1, the Law of Duality.  In the long run, every market becomes a 2-horse race.   Scribbles, call me up.  You teach me to talk to fitness girls, I'll school you on the laws of mktg :)

Poor taste in the title of your show...on the five year anniversary of 9/11 to say this is a "war" is a mockery of a very real war that was launched on america.  >:(

I have faith that Bob can show restraint and that the questions can be 50/50 and the time can be 50/50.  I think that since they know there is a potential conflict of interest, they'll go out of their way to avoid this in order to maintain journalistic integrity.

If they do, people here and everywhere will give them props, and IMO they'll take a step forward.  If Bob grandstands and speaks his potentially biased piece each time, the split may be a 66/33 split.  

I'll say it again - if this is billed as Magazine wars, the job of the media is to observe and not influence.  Let's see a 50/50 split!

Be careful there boss.  There's a lot of evidence which says the "war on terror" involves a lot of white guys in ties that are eating steak on your dime right about now.

we're not talking about your hardon for the "war on terror". Talking simple terms comparing two guys talking smack in a subculture industry vs planes being flown into our tallest buildings on the same day 5 years ago is much different. two very different "wars". show some respect for the real war people are fighting because of the events on 9/11, not some pissing parade between inflated egomaniacs.

"potential" conflict of interest? when you have FLEX magazine's logo as one of your sponsors there is clearly more then a "potential" conflict there boss.

why isn't steve coming on the show to discuss?

How do you figure it's the job of the media to observe and not influence?

PS - let me know if you need some tips on talking to fitness women, I'll be down in West Palm Beach the week after the Olympia if you want to sign up for a couple classes. ;)

I live media and politics man.

Despite the fact that each show will be tailored to its target demo, there has to be a modicum of neutrality or the show hosts lose their ability to call themselves journalists and they become entertainers.

Lou Dobbs is a journalist.  O'Reilly is not.  Now, let's not kill this topic with politics.  Which fitness girls you meeting?  You do know that's arvilla's stomping grounds.

There will only be a conflict if the hosts let there be a conflict. 

They can deliver a solid gold debate in which each side is asked 5 adversarial questions specific to their position, and each side has equal time to respond.  I think they will, and I am looking fwd to it.
