I agree with everything Krista said.

(Full disclosure: I've been listening to the show since before Christmas 2008, have been on the show several times, and met the folks in person.)

If you haven't heard the show, I also recommend checking it out. They have most of their older shows archived on their website. Even the stuff that's months old is still pretty relevant, and I've found it helpful to hear other people giving a similar schpiel to what I find myself giving to our volunteer staff and shop visitors on a regular basis. It gives me some perspective and allows me to hear someone else's version of something similar.

I disagree--I think that Bike Talk covers many topics of relevance to us, and I am happy to have them here.  They have brought on their show folks from many of the organizations represented herein.  I have enjoyed  their shows--perhaps if you were to listen on Saturdays you might find what they do more relevant.  It has been nice for me to be able to hear the voices of many of the people who participate in our ThinkTank.  It makes everyone seem more real somehow!  Besides--isn't it within the mission of most of our organizations to promote the bicycle culture?  This is what this show does. 
 
As for having them on a different email list--I am already on so many, that if some can be combined, that suits me just fine!  Had they been on a different list, I might not have found them, and I lke the fact that they post the show topics each week.  My vote is that they stay!

We would appreciate it if biketalk could maintain their own mailing list and stop posting to TheThinkTank list as none of their posts have had ANY relevance to our organization. (The vast majority of the other posts are relevant to us.)
