There will be no moderator behind the camera, for the discussion will be taking place completely in front of the camera. Instead of multiple questions, one of the panelists will share a discussion starter and the discussion will continue from that point. The panelists are welcome to ask each other questions if they wish and redirect the discussion as they feel it is fit. Episodes are also being released in the order in which they were taped.
Participants for season six included:
Josh Caporale (Season 1-Present)
Charlie Gulizia (Season 1-Present)
Dan Marseglia (Season 2-Present)
