... And I far prefer Basic Brewing Radio.

I like and listen to both of them. The interviews with beer industry experts on technical and historical details are things you just can't get from Jamil's show. In other words, I feel like Basic Brewing radio provides a lot of perspectives whereas Jamil just presents his own. Plus, I feel like Basic Brewing Radio gets down to business and spends a lot of its time discussing content whereas Jamil spends a lot of time winding up.
Really, I view the shows as complimentary. I'm interested in learning to learn more about beer generally, and draw inspiration from some of the specialized topics covered on Basic Brewing Radio (yeast culturing, sugar experiments, HSA, etc.). If I were interested in brewing to style guidelines and competitions, I'd find the Jamil Show more useful.
