So I guess I'll ask the question no one else wants to answer.....When does the "moving and shaking" stop? Seriously. It's becoming difficult to keep track of all the changes that have been ongoing within the Pure Fury Creations Entertainment Network. Just when it seemed the podcast portion of the network had fallen into place with an established schedule , the entire landscape of the television side of things gets shaken up. Don't get me wrong, it's a good thing that the initial response to Fatal 4-Way has been positive to the point to where management not only took the suggestions of increasing the content of F4W into consideration, they executed a plan immediately. But it also, as luck would have it, once again alters the podcast lineup. Moving The Clouse & Q Show from ONTV to the podcast realm is going to be a tricky change for long-time viewers of the show. Pulling C&Q from the ONTV schedule and replacing it with F4W, which in turn makes the live call-in wrestling show a bi-weekly production now is a bold move. And one that shows that decision makers at the PFC Network and ONTV have a lot of high hopes for the F4W concept.

It was good to hear Nikki Falsone back on the air, as she made her return to the Clouse to the Heart Podcast. It probably should have been a deeper topic than a countdown of fast food joints, many of which the majority of us here in the northeastern part of the United States ad never heard of before, but it was still good to know she's affiliated with the show in some regard. Who knows...maybe next time Nikki's on the show, they discuss which brand of yarn makes the best types of quilts.

Amy Sheridan sure wasn't shy about unleashing her feelings on the controversies that surround fund-raising and charitable organizations. With special guest Elizabeth Deland returning to the show, this was easily my favorite show of the week. A lot of what they talked about was things I could relate to personally. So it was good to hear this kind of thing being discussed on a very open forum. Fund-raising for your child's endevors really is one of the most stressful things a parent can do. And when there's layers of crap to navigate through, it makes it even less desirable. 

It seems like Joanna Barnes and Natalie George are really starting to find their footing with Sshhhh...We Don't Talk About That. Their increasing presence on social media is reaching a whole new demographic of listeners to the network overall. It's cool to see so many people resonating with their podcast. 

For the second straight week, The Hot Tag continues to be the network's highest-downloaded show. Jason Clouse and Shawn Grugel have spent the last two-plus months laying the foundation of the podcast and its starting to make tremendous strides forward. Part of that may have something to do with the fact that Grugel is threatening people to share ands subscribe to the shows. Not really. But his message has been clear and it's starting to show upticks in shares and downloads.
