From CF re BJJ in the Aug. 9 issue: 

“Mark, just wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed your piece today about your BJJ experience. Well written and relatable I think to a lot of men who have experienced the camaraderie of training and bonding with other men. I had similar experiences in boxing. I also enjoyed the stories of your partners and the lighthearted humor you peppered in those stories. Great pictures as well that really brought the whole read together. Congrats!”

From JM re the Postmodern Jukebox clip in the Aug. 13 issue: 

“Thanks for sharing Effie Passero’s interpretation of ‘Creep.’ Listened again and I’m sweating from the emotional exertion.”
