Question. How long is this podcast supposed to be? Cuz the one I downloaded has a running time of 1:10:34 and it just stops right in the middle of the conversation about the quality of today's toys.

I used the direct download link on the news page and didn't touch anything pertaining to the file download until it was done. Once it finished, I opened the file and started listening, with it coming to an end at the 1:10:34 mark.

It's 2 hours 20 minutes. Your file must not have downloaded completely. File size is 128MB. I downloaded the file directly from the server just now after you posted your message above.

I'll try downloading it again to see what happens.

EDIT: Finished the second download and got the whole thing this time. Will listen to the rest of it after I get some sleep.

Still weird how only the first half downloaded the first time when nothing seemed to go wrong.

I know I had problem downloading it yesterday. It took me 2 hours almost to download it, and I get 42 mbps down and 5 mbps up most of the time, so usually it downloads in a few minutes.

2 hours and 20 mins ??? Maybe if I drove a truck for a living I might be able to find that much time to listen to all of it. I usally skip the parts about comics, Kreo, etc to save some time. I havent listened to one in a while. Are they still allowed to discuss 3rd party products on the podcast or is it strictly official ?

We still talk about 3rd party stuff when it's relevant.

I do the agendas so, blame me if the content sucks.

Purposefully making a new post here.

I think perhaps we should post the file up to itunes and wait until 12 hours later to make the news post.

Then you all won't feel like you're missing something when the post first hits.

We CAN NOT do anything about the delay.

Sorry.

It's an iTunes/RSS thing.

We can avoid telling you that the file is up if it make it feel less frustrating.

Or maybe we need to change the wording in our news stories to

The episode may be downloaded directly or from our RSS feed. It will be available via iTunes within 24 hours once it syncs with our RSS feed.

I vote don't delay posting its availability for iTune's sake.

I agree. They shouldn't use inferior methods of retrieving the podcast if they want it fast.

We'll just need to change the verbiage going forward so that it is very clear. If you want it now, here's the direct link, otherwise you will need to wait up to 24 hours for the episode to propagate on iTunes.

Yeah.

Me personally, I use the Zune software, and just link it to the RSS feed. It downloads the podcast every time as soon as you guys put it up.

Another enjoyable podcast.

On the topic of the TF / GI JOE crossover, I believe that if it were ever going to happen that both the fandoms would have to make sacrifices. Ones that neither would like.

I could only see it working two ways and personally I dont like either.

1) JOE fans keep their scale and the transformers dont actually transform. They just pay homage to previous characters, exactly like the previous two Comicon exclusives.

And 2) Transformers still transform but the Joes sacrifice their standard scale and downsize a bit much like Human Alliance.

These were both mentioned in the podcast. Personally I dont think it will ever happen. In a perfect world I would love to see an inscale series combining the two.
