Enjoyed the first show very much. One small question is why did they change the bio? I'm curious who to the new voice is and as to why George isn't doing it anymore?
Also, I am a bit puzzled as to why they are treating the Ireland shows as a seperate entity. Even the bios were the George version. :(
Only a "video not currently available" for the last three episodes they uploaded, anyone know how come?
You can find episode 2,3,4 and 5 here.

The reason they changed the voice on the BIO's is, some people heard George mention something in the bio, then later heard him ask the guest a question about that topic and it was giving some people the impression he brought the same topic up twice...
So to clearly separate the narration of the bio from Georges interview questions, Jen the producer, does the narration now.
I do like the new season ! Fantastic work. George is awesome. His voice is unique, but the new narrator is good too.
All the best to The Hour !!!
That link doesn't work for me either. "Content currently unavailable". I wonder if it's no longer available outside of Canada? Pity, really. Liked the show.

Try the Hour's YouTube link. You can find it on the right sidebar of this blog.
Thanks Barbara,
That is understandable. Do the interview subjects hear the bio when it runs are they added in afterwards. Though it's still odd that they used the traditional George intro for the Dublin Shows. Plus it's a bit strange that they got rid of the info at the beginning, now they just go straight to the point.
Also, I am a bit shocked that they are not updating the videos section of the official site, like they are not adding in the new Best Story Evers in that department, or other videos. So, if you wanted to find a specific BSE, you wouldn't know which episode to look in. The only thing that is really being used on the original site are the interactive sections like the forum and the blog. That is strange. :(
I will ask them about the website's updating this year. It concerns me as well.
I have to press the MUTE button when the BIO's are read now. Distracting, ruins the flow, makes the show seem unpolished.
