 Will you feel as though you need to be more obnoxious now in order to justify the show-name? if not consciously, then subconsciously? Hope not. Obnoxiousness isn't all all gratifying in a host.

 Nope, only to my enemies

 Maybe focus on your fans rather than your enemies.

Is the name some sort of inside joke? 
Without context I find it off putting. Even with context (whatever that might be) it has a lot of connotation to overcome.

 I mean it’s just a name, I’m sure you can cope

 Indeed. I will make it through :-)

I asked my 14 yo son what he thinks of the name Mr Obnoxious, he said he likes it. So, maybe you are on to something! 

(He is a semi regular listener—i have podcasts playing when I drive him to practice and school. He of course likes it when you swear. I do think he has picked up a few things along the way though.) 

Congrats on the win today.

 Who shot the podcast cover photo? It’s epic.
