Problem Podcasts

Just a pet peeve I have recently acknowledged.  I listen to a lot of podcasts and I am of the opinion that far toooooo many of them start, end or both with problems and excuses for whatever.  From not being on time, to sorry for working, sorry I have not podcasted, been away sorry had to devote time to family.  Podcasters, who are you apologizing to?  This is a podcast at your will kind of thing no?  Apparently in the fiber world breaking a fiber or fabric diet is a HUGE listener slasher.  Less excuses more amusement, excitement and content.  Yes says the virgin podcaster wanna be.
