I've not heard the latest podcast yet so I can't comment on the balance. However in the absence of any real movement in the Java space it must be difficult to put an hour of core Java discussion together. I am perfectly happy to hear conversation about relevant related tech. Android in particular - the OS and software - is for me anyway.
I think this is just one of the underlying reasons the posse dropped to once a fortnight at the end of last year. The other reason I will continue to listen is that, like it or not, the posse discussions are a reflection of the discussions going on in the IT community as a whole. Occasionally when discussion gets heated it does sound like an old married couple who can't settle their differences and have been together too long...
