I'm kinda sick of the Gambit hating X-Men podcasters in general. They really make me feel unwelcome and unwanted in the X-Men fandom. Even Conner G with his "Gambivalence" statement and then the crappy episode on Gambit where he couldn't even get an enthusiastic fan for the interview. I just keep dropping them from my podcasts. Honestly Al Kennedy and Miles on X-Plain lately has been a welcome break.
I guess I'm not surprised that Uncanny Avengers is relaunching or even that it's with Duggan yet again ... sighs ... I dunno. I want Rogue with the X-Men and with a writer who will actually use her, which Duggan hardly did at all in a year of X-Men issues. It feels very regressive.
If we had the current team from Captain Marvel and not Duggan, I'd be more into it.
Seriously the only thing that excited me much for news was the Beau DeMayo hints for X-Men'97.
Yeah, he's pretty icky, and kinda creeps me out TBH. Perhaps he'll get a taste of his own medicine, once karma comes around, if it hasn't already.
And speaking of them, aka CerebroCast, aka creator & leader of the "Zala" gang (smh, LAME!), I'm with ya, not a fan. Do you, or anybody else for that matter, know if they're... Tini Howard's agent? 'Cause that would eXplain A LOT, as to the cozy li'l arrangement they seem to have w/the X-office, in general.

So trying to make it sound like he is a character who the majority of X-men fans agree should be bashed, sounds distanced from reality or trying to conjur an idea that isn't actualy supported by evidence.
If it was meant as a running joke, it doesn't sound particular funny and if it was a personal bias by the presenter it comes across as unprofessional.
BEYOND, and he's not alone - watta TURNOFF! And I mean that in every way imaginable.

Yeah, it was a bit of a yawner, for the most part. And HA, that's a funny (the kitty pic) & fairly apt comparison, they're trying so hard w/her.
