Oh, this is a nice surprise. :D
I'll be working when the show was due to be on.

What happened to last Saturday's show? It still isn't up on iTunes.
Stella Feb 3rd 2010 2:52PM
What happened to your script that automatically converted the time to local time based on IPs?

Looks like I will be re-reheating my lunch in a little bit to listen in. Glad I refreshed the site when I did.

I love how you deleted my previous comment complaining about the lack of professionalism.
Let me ask you this. Would you prefer people complaining about the problems with the show or not hearing anything at all, as those people have moved on to other shows and dont care anymore about your show at all.
Rather than being childish and thinskinned, how about addressing the issues that have been occurring for the last month, and at the very least show some communication skills by letting people know what is going on.

It is my prerogative to have or not have your comments on my post.
The shows have not been up on Mondays for various reasons, from technical difficulties to staff being away from internet to recording problems. I've already said -- multiple times --that we're working on fixing them, and our aim is to have it up on Mondays, just as in the past, but it does not always work out this way.
I live away from broadband. I have to commute each week to do the podcast. I can't do any of the technical work myself because of my connection, so I have to make sure that the rest of my team is able to fulfill the tasks. I and we inherited this show on short notice and it's been a rough time both getting it to you and keeping it going in the spirit of our predecessors. It may not always be smooth until we really get into the groove of things. If this means you listen to other podcasts, so be it, but you already were anyway.

Thank you for your explanation.
I am now empathetic to your situation which i wasnt previously, as you had not been communicating that well. "Working on it" is not really satisfactory as an answer.
And for the record, until the show had started to have its problems, I hadnt listened to any other podcasts at all...

Well, I'm just plain disappointed. I enjoy listening to the live show and this caught me completely by surprise. Add that my trig class starts at 4 and there's no way I could have caught it even if I had known. When this episode finally makes it to ustream will I find out why the switch? Did you at least mention it on the show? You're conspicuously silent about the reason here.

Several of the people who work on the show could not make it this weekend. This has happened before (even back in the days of the original show) and will most likely happen again in the future. It's not of sinister intent, we simply had a schedule conflict.
nieboh Feb 4th 2010 5:46PM
I didn't mean to imply that there was any nefarious reason for moving the show, I was simply curious and you didn't say why. Trust me, I understand completely about conflicting schedules.

I'm officially unsubscribing to this podcast in iTunes now. Not only has it lost its heart when Mike and Turpster split, but apparently those who now run the podcast think it's okay to delete negative comments in feedback -- as there were many negative comments posted on this item earlier that are now gone. If you can't stand the heat, maybe you should get out of the kitchen. Fortunately, you can't delete my negative review in iTunes.

After given it a try - I have to agree with Moonrise, the guys are doing their best, I'm sure, but ATM the podcast doesn't do the (wonderful) site justice. A host with no Bband at home? Can't AOL/Joystiq buy you a sat/run a cable to your house?

Too much whining from pretentious kids on this post.
I listened live today and I have listened to the last 4 podcasts on the ISS feed over the last month. I find the show to be much more bearable now than previously because, no offense to him, turpster annoyed the crap out of me.
Sacco, you are a cool guy. I don't see a problem with your internet. Rossi, I like you way more now for some reason, can't put my finger on it. Both of you keep it up. You are doing a seriously great job.

I don't understand the problem people are having... I live in the UK and find it hard to listen to the show live because it is at an odd time for me, so i look forward to listening in the week when it is up here. The fact it is gonna miss a week just makes me look forward to next week even more! I'm just thankful that it is still going. The hosts have character and make me laugh no matter what they are talking about and i am entertained the whole way through.
As for negative comments, this is their post. If your comment isn't valued in any way why keep it up? It isn't helping anyone.
And Rossi, please say that Warriors are just perfect at the moment so my boyfriend will quit complaining about how nerfed they are or whatever he is talking about, i switch off sometimes. He seems to listen to you xD
Keep up the great work you two!!

I was wondering why it's been taking a week to get the audio ready to post on the website. I found the link to the show through here though so i'm listening now. I think most of the people that listen to this show use the posts, and don't listen to it live.
