So far the verdicts — while often quite colorful in their ribbing — are positive. From a reader:

Jonah, I have watched several of your kick-off conversations with Peter. They are well worth the effort and I have much enjoyed them. Very civil and informative. Please keep them going. Your conversations regarding Fox News and the current sparring in the presidential campaigns were quite interesting. Keep “um coming Mr. Goldberg.

And:

Jonah,
Great Idea. I’ll add this to my vlog watch list along with Michelle
Malkin’s Hot Air. Peter didn’t sound very good (audio that is). I
assume you were using a Mac with built in iSight so that might be
part of his problem. Anyhow, It was well done and I hope you guys can
keep it going.

Loved the new feature with Peter and Jonah, but when was Jonah abducted by Jack Black? Does that mean that Jonah will be starring in School of Rock 2?
