With Nate’s announcement this week that he is stepping down from co-hosting The Reflex Blue Show, the change in calendar to 2012, and the fact we have already taken a couple months off from recording, I felt it was only appropriate to declare this as the end of Season 4. This of course brings us to announce our personal favorites from what was actually a pretty eventful year of recordings. You can view our picks for all four seasons here.

I will greatly miss having Nate on every show, as there are only a number of recordings I did without him over the past six years, and I know the show would not be what it is without all that he has done. Without Nate, I wouldn’t be recording a show at all, as it was him and Tom that decided this would be a fun adventure, and somehow invited me to be a guest for that first episode of the Be A Design Cast. It’s been a great six years or so of podcasting, and I thank Nate for a lot of that. I wish him the best in his next endevour.

As for my next endevour? Season 5 of The Reflex Blue Show kicks off next week. I’ll see you then, and thank you for listening.

As for our picks, we both went with the shows we had the most fun recording.

It was on this day, some 37 years back, that I was born during the halftime of a Nebraska/Wisconsin football game. It was on this day this year, actually just this day then I guess, that I answer questions from Tony on Illustrate Omaha’s Designer Spotlight.

Following our picks from yesterday, where we chose our personal favorites from Season 2, today we go with Season 3.

For me this was the toughest one yet (Nate just flat out picked 2, so I guess you could say the same for him. I’m ok with that though, he chose our two-parter). For me, it came down to Episode #52, where we spend the first ten minutes taste-testing the new Mountain Dew flavors with Chris Kelly and Steve Gordon. I think this may be the most fun ten minute segment I’ve had in recording. My other choice is what ended up winning out though. Episode #56, possibly the most helpful advice given on our show from start to finish.
