Opus Wrote:In response to a request made by the show members and in an attempt to consolodate the official positions of the show itself regarding the podcast, we decided to create this thread so that you can get the bottom line without wading through multiple different threads and getting multiple different sides of the story.

As news progresses regarding the podcast, please check this thread for updates.

This post will serve as the bottom line regarding the podcast and this post will be updated as things change regarding the podcast.

The other threads concerning this issue will be locked and we request that you use this thread to discuss the podcast itself. Issues concerning how to get the podcast or comments regarding segments or any thing else not related to news about the podcast should be addressed in its own thread.

So, as of 6/23/09:
The boys announced both on the show and at the beginning of the podcast that our displeasure had been heard and that things were in progress regarding segmenting the podcast rather than having 1 big file. In the meantime, until they are able to upload the individual segments, Zane will be inserting 30 seconds of dead air so that the segments can be more easily identified with the large podcast. When the changeover is made, this thread will be updated to reflect it.

I don't know it just seems to me that there wouldn't have been so much drama if the guys had spaced the changes out a little bit. Im sure some of them had to come relativly close to one another but it probably spooked people more than it would have if the changes were more gradual

Indeed, I have a yahoo email address. Although I have
a)set a freebeerandhotwings filter so that it won't go to spam (done a looong time ago)
b)watched my spam folder just in case the Magic Email didn't come from freebeerandhotwings.com
c)tried the forgotten password thing-- I can log in just fine, but it just keeps offering me to join as a VIP.

Stupid yahoo email address. I don't even like yahoo mail anymore, but I've had the address for 12 years, you know? It would be a pain in the ass to change... and I think it would kill my grandmother, who has a hard enough time with email anyway.

A question for you, mistresskitty (or anyone else who joined the VIP party late): do you get to download podcasts from the days prior to you joining? Or do you only get the podcast starting from the day you get access?

Click on the big words that say "Podcasting" and you will see it.

fmcrowl Wrote:If you read read my question daredevil1 you would have noticed that I asked about the link for the SEGMENTED Podcasts and not the big file, and at the time I asked the question the SEGMENTS were not there. So next time read a little slower and try to comprehend each word of the question before you are so quick to post a smart ass answer.

Anyway, apologies to Daredevil1 and thanks to 0rz0ski for a great post pointing out my stupidity.
