Frank Gerwer should restart and host The Loveletters.
« on: May 25, 2024, 09:30:31 PM »
I miss Jeff Grosso and I miss the Loveletters to Skateboarding series. Maybe it's sacrilege, but I'd love to see the Letters come back with Frank hosting. They have similar senses of humor and Frank has a decent number of years in the game at this point. I think he'd be perfect. Jeff and the crew did a great job but I think there's probably still some subjects that should be covered. Thats it. RIP Grosso, All Hail Gerwer.

You're not wrong. Maybe he could even have a cohost. Maybe a guy named Fred from New Jersey?.....

Nah I think the letters was a beautiful thing but it shouldn’t be brought back. It will always be available to revisit for future generations and it covered a lot of ground but as far as I’m concerned it ended when Jeff left this world. The only way I’d like to see it return is through his son when he’s older. I’m 100% for giving Frank a show of some kind though.

Love Letters mostly ran it's course.  Loved em, but nah.
Him doing his own skate history show could be cool though, much better than another podcast.

Well put @radcunt , best to leave the product as was; not to be beating it to death. Def would tune in to Frank's own show

Just give Frank Gerwer a show ASAP. I don’t even care if it’s not always about skateboarding.

Who are some other gifted storytellers we can convince to cohost?

Edit: My vote would be Chico if he is down.

Jeff was amazing, funny, had passion and was well spoken in Love Letters just being himself.

Frank is annoying and just seems like he’s trying to be funny… and isn’t funny. To each their own

Frankly Speaking, no on bring back The Letters.
Absolutely yes on a Frank show though. If you’re going sidekick, I’d say Elissa. Her and Frank have a great rapport and seemingly good heads.

I’m down for it, and feel of all people Jeff would be down for Frank to continue.

This would rule. Ideally the non-Shortys Steve Olson would make frequent guest appearances as well.

Happy to let the Love letters be and for Frank to have his own show but my outside shout for a skate history show would be with Puleo. The stuff on his youtube Is great, if someone gave him a budget and a crew/editing team where he could go round and interview loads of people I think it would be amazing, proper into the weeds skate nerd shit.

Would be pretty cool is Shorty's Steve Olson also made guest appearances. Maybe they could have a cutaway segment of their own within the show called "The Steve Olsons". It's a sitcom about their domestic life together.

Never relight a cigarette. You’re chasing what once was and can never be, and it’s never the same after. Don’t bring back the love letters. Have 6 stair and frank do their own show
For someone w.no signature ur awfully hostile, & that is why I do this

I’d love to see Gerwer hosting a show where they do little dives into smaller, weirder scenes in skating, like he did with slalom.

Partly humorous, partly honest expose of some of the  quirky and gnarly members of some peripheral scenes, like freestyle, illegal downhill racing, Brazilian hill freestyle, luge, midwestern park, etc.
