David Smith has some great commentary on the end of Hypercritical:
I started to think retrospectively about Hypercritical and why I liked it so much. John has demonstrated that it is often far more satisfying to understand why you like something than to just blindly hold an opinion. I began the process of re-listening through the entire Hypercritical catalog, all 158 hours of it. My goal was to be able to clearly describe why I love the show so much. The result is a critique methodology that I’ll rather overbearingly refer to as The Hypercritical Way.
He's also compiled a twenty-minute clip reel of some of his favorite Hypercritical moments. Terrific tribute.
