I think for the two recent guys that left, they were just burned out on having to carry all the content of a weekly show alone. Now their new podcast is more of a conversation and they can just BS without much prep.

For Gruber, I assume it was just money. Someone else offered him more or an ownership stake that he wasn't going to get from 5x5.

Gruber left in February 2012 [1]. Hypercritical continued until December [2]. Build and Analyze the same [3].

Siracusa and Arment both said they thought the shows had run the course. Siracusa is also a regular on The Incomparable [4].

Nicely referenced. I just noted that Siracusa and Marco seemed to start shows very soon after leaving and despite saying things about probably coming back they haven't.

Nope.
