Dear current,

As I have gotten no response to my last letter, I am now writing you a followup letter. This one is going to be as good as the last one, jus wait and see, but it's probably going to have a lot of spelling errors. Actually it won't because my sites are down so I'm writing this on word instead of in an email. You guys need to check out the Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job because it is hilarious. You should definitely show clips of that show instead of the stupid Rambo series. I know that Rambo has a political message behind it but that shit just isn't funny or clever or even original. Honestly I really think it's the worst pod you guys show regularly. The nocturnal transmission idea was interesting, but it really didn't hold my attention. I did like that it was actually night time though. My roommates and I don't believe that the stratus sphere or whatever is a real place, we're pretty sure it's just a couple rooms and a backdrop. But who knows whats real and what isn't. Drugs fuck your mind up. Speaking of, the pod about medicinal marijuana was pretty amazing but it made me feel pretty anxious about the fact that we only smoke shitty weed. Not shitty but certainly not medicinal. I've been paying a lot of attention lately to the way you guys organize the pods you show and I think I've got it figured out. Random and Riveting is a pretty good segment, and You Found Us just seems so warm and comforting. We wonder how you guys want the viewers to watch current. I mean obviously you want a lot of viewers all of the time, but I don't think most people watch current the way we do. When we first found this channel, we didn't change the channel for at least a month. But you guys have added the new at 11 or whatever so I guess you are expecting regular viewers. Its 4:13 in the morning right now, which means that I am 7 minutes away from when I finished my letter last time. Shit is pretty weird right now. Things are always weird when I write to you guys. You know, I don't really like the pod about avoiding credit card debt, but I think it's a good thing that you guys show it. Most people are stupid and will get like a million dollars in credit card debt. I do like that you guys don't shove abstinence shit down our throats though. There is a commercial that is funded by or promoting like, Coalition for Amazing Robot-like Families or some shit, and its all like abstinence is the way to go, and it makes me want to go out and have unprotected sex with strangers. In fact, that commercial makes me so angry that it almost prompted me to do just that, but I didn't. I left before it got that far. don't ever show that commercial ever, please.Alright so this letter really has no actual feedback for you guys, so I'm sorry for that, but you guys didn't answer my last letter, and I told you guys I would keep writing if you didn't answer. So please answer this time. It's nice to know that there is a real world out there.
from the bottom of my heart,
Meghan Reints

PS. We still love joe and you still shouldn't censor him.
WE DEMAND JOE MARATHON OR AT LEAST HALF HOUR.

its 3:19 in the morning and I may or may not be drunk as hell

and I just gotta tell you guys that this channel is fucking amazing. excuse my language (prudes.) BUT it truly is amazing. I live with two other people and we are constantly making references to our favorite pods and even people within particular pods. We have even gone as far as to make facebook groups about our favorites, but we make them private because we would seem so creepyyy if anyone who knew them found out, and we have gotten all our friends who don't have current as up to date on it as we are. we are constantly takling about making pods ourself about certain things we find interesting--seriously look up children underground on youtube, someone has GOT to make a pod about that, if anyone in Romania is available-- or our responses to pods we like-- we think the guys from "in case you forgot.. this is college" should do the SEC next because the SEC is obviously the best conference, and we don't think that only because we sort of attend the University of Alabama. We have favorite hosts and journalists, and certainly pods and advertisements. We ADORE Joe. He is amazing, and you guys should give him more leeway on what he can use in his pods. We heard you guys like to censor him... not cool. Adam Yamagotche, I think thats how you spell it, I'm really sorry if it isn't, is kind of whiny, and we don't really like him. You guys don't seem to like him either, because you always send him on really shitty jobs, like eating a million different types of penis. I also really don't care for the journalist who did the waterboarding pod, but not for that reason, its just that his voice grates on my nerves. We love when you guys include really fun light pieces, like the one about the unusual english designer who put dragons and fairytale creatures onto her clothing and the amazing pod about ben underwood and his superhuman echolocation skills(this pod is by far our favorite. hes the one we made a facebook group about. we LOVE ben underwood.), and I think I'm Dead-OMG HILARIOUS- but we also understand that you guys have to be serious sometimes too and include upseting pods. Some of the most complelling pods I have seen are From Russia with Hate and March for the Kidnapped. I consider myself a fairly well informed person and I had no idea that either of these travesties(sorry no spellcheck.) were occuring. We can't get away from Darfur converage from our so called concerned friends but no one wants to talk about problems in countries that happen to be out of favor within America. If its trendy, American college students will get behind it, otherwise forget it. One issue I do have with you guys is that you also seem to concentrate alot of your converage in certain countries. You guys show alot of pods about India and China. Now I realize they are two massive countries that are incredibly relavent to Americas wellbeing. but there are tons of other countries that are just as interesing.

i ran out of space? you guys sure do make it really hard to get feedback to you guys. thats stupid since you're supposed to be all about feedback... and I just gotta tell you guys that this channel is fucking amazing. excuse my language (prudes.) BUT it truly is amazing. I live... more
