Was looking forward to this interview , what a load of waffle , an hour I won't get back . Rich was trying to dig out deep meaningful answers that was not there or needed to be known 🤔 . Not a lot about his fishing now , or tackle in the pipeline etc .
Should have sparked it up with "the twig , your thought" 😜

I binned off cypography a long time ago. Rich Stewart isn't a great interviewer, he certainly isn't good on the korda podcasts. Plus i have zero interest in uncle jim

Really? I think that Rich is a great interviewer and has an encyclopaedic knowledge of different carp and venues.
Shows how we are all looking for different things from videos and podcasts!

I agree he has depth of knowledge on all things carp, history and venues etc but I agree with the op, for the same reasons you've mentioned I stopped listening to the korda podcast a long time ago,always searching for that answer that's not there,trying to probe for more info that's not relevant and getting the person to elaborate on things that have run their course in the interview..but I did like Simon Pitt and they're worlds apart. I know others didn't like Simon.

I think this whole video thing has gone like the magazines did when they started struggling for decent material and it was new made up rigs and how to to tie a pva bag. Never thought that much of Cyp in the first place they've done a few decent interviews but always felt it was like the Elliot Gray show, me me me. Line aligner split shot pop up rig named after him, someone else's buzz bars named after him. I suppose he is from Essex what do you expect
also they've made it really difficult to cancel a membership, you used to be able to do it easy on the website, last time I tried I couldn't even find an option so had to email and they took ages to reply as well. All seems a bit desperate, I won't be subscribing again. Carp Angle has a much better feel, I really like Joe seems a cool dude. The latest episode with Richie is brilliant, probably the best one yet. I usually send a couple quid, more people should get behind him

Agree with you, Cyp seems to have run its course.
Still subscribing for Samir and the Canadian lads.
Slim pickings otherwise.
And it's a crying shame why more won't pay for Joes content, which is consistently excellent.
The media concept is feeling rather full.....

I agree with all of that apart from the "he's from Essex so what do you expect" comment, the vast majority of people from Essex are nothing like Elliott. Don't forget Joe is also from Essex and is, in my experience, way more likeable.

Iv sent another email to cyp to stop my payments , as there is no simple way like carpfix 🤔. Iv now cancelled both , and will just watch Joe and PayPal money over to him . The subscription market is going to get silly now with Tom Maker doing just the same , it's only Joe's that is slightly different.

Just cancel the direct debit with your bank. No need to contact Cypography, you don't have a contract with them.

I've been a subscriber of Cyp/Carpfix since pretty much the beginning. I have this morning cancelled memberships for both.
CarpFix especially I feel is no longer worth the money. Members were originally subscribing to “one in-session, one carp tales and one technical piece” by Darrell each month. He soon got a lot of other anglers on board to take most of these pieces from him... I'd already paid a years subscription at this point. Appreciate doing it himself may have been more work than he'd anticipated however what it is now is not really what I subscribed to.
Used to love the carp tales from Car Park/Fen Drayton etc. Sadly these are getting less frequent these days. An in session piece on B1 which spans two different parts/months isn't the differentiator that I thought CarpFix was intended to be.

I didn't realise there were such things as Cyp/Carpfix and other sort of stuff that you have to pay for.
For a moment I did start to wonder if I've been missing something but by the sounds of it I haven't.

Cypography - complete waste of your hard earned. Same old mates wheeling out the same crap scraping the barrel. How about interviewing anglers that hold down commitments and full time jobs - how they go about their angling on limited time. I'm not interested in listening to blokes that fish 4 nights a week, every week.
Joe is the original - decent bloke and good content.

That's exactly my view too what about the people who fish waters other than syndicates etc as it all gets very samey,and it's the same with magazines(what's left of them even though I do like Carpology)it's all fishing lakes catch on this,try this rig don't do this etc if your an angler who fishes different to everyone else it gets boring reading or watching stuff as it's all the same nowadays

I can't doubt his knowledge but whenever he interviews, he talks far too much and puts his knowledge across. That imo isn't what he is there for. Hassan who does the nash podcasts has a much more natural style that gets better results, as did Simon on the old korda equivalent
