Default Where's Noah?

I am sure that this question has been asked, so sorry for the redundancy but after months of watching "Acoustic Tuesday," sans Noah, it has finally occurred to me that he's probably not coming back. It seemed like they had such a good thing going with the snarky banter and all. Still Love Tony's show but it's lost a bunch of entertainment value since he lost the sidekick. So what happened with Noah? Does he now have a show?

Saw this as I was multitasking watching Acoustic Tuesday I agree that the show has, in large part, missed his presence and I'm not quite as drawn to it. I've no idea what he's up to, or why he left, but I hope he's doing well.

Noah moved and I believe him and his wife we’re going to do something in child care. Noah came out to visit our jam club just prior to him leaving. He was a lot of fun miss him on Acoustic Tuesday and Tony’s acoustic challenge.

Dru,
Look up Tony Policastro. He’s an online acoustic guitar affectionato that does lessons, reviews of products related to the guitar community, and sometimes shows off some beautiful guitars. Fun guy to watch, but not for everyone’s taste it seems. He get’s mixed reviews.

Personally I stopped watching Tony when it started becoming a show. It's to long and cute banter is not entertaining to me. I do like to watch Tony but I don't go to youtube to watch shows. There are other youtube things that I have backed away from because of this same issue.

I really liked when Tony was on The Acoustic Letter.

When he left there I don't think his stuff was afterward was as good and I lost interest.

When I saw the subject of this thread, I thought for sure that it would be about flooding.

I think I remember the Noah of this thread. He was the guy with glasses that acted as the counterpart to Tony, a rather entertaining duo.

If the topics are interesting to me I still watch. Was also wondering where the sidekicks went. Surprised Tony doesn't just announce something so we all can stop wondering.

I miss Noah, too. What seemed strange to me was that there was no explanation about his leaving the show. Given their bantering, it would have been completely natural and expected for them to chat about his upcoming departure.

Instead, he just disappeared one day. Unless I missed it, which is quite possible, he simply disappeared. I noticed several comments on the youtube videos of the "Where's Noah?" variety, yet no answers were given. Odd.

The poster is incorrect. Tony did indeed announce something about Noah's departure. See video, below.

The poster missed it.

The pertinent passages regarding Noah begin at roughly the 48:53 mark in "Acoustic Tuesday" episode #117.

Note that Tony gave Noah every ample opportunity to fully explain WHY he (Noah) was leaving "Acoustic Tuesday."

That Noah did not explicitly state the full reason suggests that Tony, in his remarks about Noah's departure, had been advised not to reveal the intimate details, as it were.

Thank-you! I found the website and then the Youtube video. I've seen him before. I'll have to check out his site to see if you can download podcasts.
