"Blessed Are They" offers you your last chance to review on the SWDGL! 6-12 is not a traditional DGL season finale, so my suggestion would be to listen to it as if it were the last episode of DGL and approach thinking about it that way. Once you've heard it, send us a review!

Did you like that this episode had so much to do with college?
Did the flashbacks add to the show? In your opinion, which one was the best?
What did you think of Caleb's courageous action? Was Mr. Richter's behavior surprising?
Would this have made a good episode to end DGL with?

And now that this season's over with, you may like to give some overall thoughts on S6 as well (how did it compare to the previous five seasons?). You have until 2PM MST on Thursday (September 15) to get your thoughts in--let's see if we can get a record number of reviews for our last review podcast!

This week we try to be less than an hour long and, as you'd probably expect, fail!

Clothing Drive This Saturday!

slowwalkdgl@gmail.com — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 06:00:00 +0000

On this weekend's DGL episode "No Good Thing," at least! The fundraising project comes courtesy of Miss Tiffany Richter, who's organized it, and Miss Haley Morrison, who's provided most of the support for it! Listen in to one of the most light-hearted episodes from S6 and then let us know if centering a whole DGL episode around a clothing appeal worked!

Was this episode funny?
Was Tiffany's exciting clothing drive a good idea? What aspect or aspects of Tiffany and Monica's conduct did you find the most outrageous or unbelievable?
Does your family get as enthusiastic (and, in some cases, apprehensive) about getting rid of old clothes as the Morrisons do in this episode? Did that portrayal ring true?
Did you enjoy seeing Haley do something out-of-character? Was the way she used the verse immature?
What did you think about Maya being the one to convict Haley?
What conclusions can we take from this episode regarding purity of heart?

Please get your review in before we record this Monday (August 22) at 3PM!

6-7 "Split Decision"

slowwalkdgl@gmail.com — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 06:00:00 +0000

Thanks for all the reviews you guys have been sending lately--keep it up over the course of this season! "Split Decision" gives you another opportunity to weigh in on a S6 episode, as Caleb struggles with a split personality (hence the episode title). Once you've heard 6-7 please leave us a comment on the show (Spoilers follow)!

How do you feel about bowling? Do you think the DGL characters' different reactions to bowling were realistic?
Was Caleb's bad attitude and challenging behavior (and the characters' responses to it) too similar to another DGL episode? Did you like the way that "Split Decision" discussed mercy?
Did you expect Caleb to show up to go bowling at the end? Do you think this show could have actually had more impact if Caleb hadn't come?

You have until 6PM Wednesday (August 17) to get your thoughts in (remember that you can always send us an audio review via e-mail!)

Slow Walk DGL Episode #73!

slowwalkdgl@gmail.com — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 06:25:00 +0000

We're finally on to discussing Season Six on the SWDGL! In our 73rd podcast, we give our concluding thoughts on S5 before starting on S6 with "Deal with It," an episode which prompts discussion on kickboxing, slights toward Stanley, confusion about storyline connections, generally blasé opinions toward Zach, silliness from Dave because of feeling sick, and the resurgence of a once-popular chorus (or is it really a children's song?). We hope that we transfer some of our excitement for DGL on to you during this week's slow walk!

The Football Fun Continues!

slowwalkdgl@gmail.com — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 10:05:00 +0000

How will last week's episode conclude? Will Coleraine win the big game? How will Caleb respond to being in the game? Will Tiffany get fulfillment? So many questions, all of which will be answered in part two of "Hometown Heroes"! But once you've heard them answered, be sure to send us your thoughts on how it all ended! (Note: 6-6 spoilers follow!)

What did you think of the Richter's plans for a Caleb Burger? Would you go out of your way to try a Cougar Burger if the Burger Barn really existed?
Was the Richter's gleeful attitude toward Anthony's injury entertaining or unsettling? Which character did you think was the least considerate about it?
Do you think Anthony's encouragement to Caleb felt forced?
Was it too unrealistic for Coleraine to win the big game? Why do you think that Caleb acknowledged Anthony after Coleraine won?
Did the subplot about Tiffany struggling with fulfillment add to the episode?
Do you think the message about witnessing was carried over from part one, or was there a different focus in this show?

Be sure to give the show a rating as well! You have until 2PM on Thursday, August 4, to get your review in. :-)

6-5 "Hometown Heroes, 1"

slowwalkdgl@gmail.com — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 06:13:00 +0000

It's football time in Coleraine! Which means lot of dramatic tension in this week's episode, "Hometown Heroes, 1"!

Did the fact that this was a sports-heavy episode make you like it less or more?
What do you think of the beginning of Caleb and Anthony's friendship?
Did you think Maya was a good witness? What did you think of the talk between her and Grace?

You have until 2PM Thursday (August 4) to get your thoughts in. :-)
