Dear LRR fans,

We haven't been the best podcasters in the world, we know that and are going to be doing our best to fix it. We know when a podcast is late or not coming and don't need a reminder.

Several reasons over the past couple months have been larger factors into why we haven't gotten podcasts out as quickly as we would like. They are the following.

1. My laptop, I have since got a new one. No longer an issue
2. Desert Bus/6th Ann Screening, these have been a lot of work and a lot of time. The screening is done and we will be done with desert bus after this week. No longer an issue
3. Long meetings/discussions. As you guys found out today we will be making a large change in January (see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10888) and we have spent many hours talking over what this means for the site and has been taking away time during our Saturdays.

The podcast has always been something we do for you guys not because we have to but because we want to (It should be noted that at this point our weekly videos are a have too) we feel bad if we don't get them up, but they aren't number 1 priority around here. If we miss a week don't freak out and don't worry, lord knows the following weeks will be over an hour long.

I would really appreciate it if from now on if there isn't a podcast up don't worry about it, we will do our best to get one up as soon as we possibly can. This means no threads dedicated to late podcasts.

We all understand that, james. We donated the podcast for the children.

Yeah, if there isn't a podcast we'll just piss and moan in this thread instead. No worries James.

Yeah, making a new thread is excessive. Also, unless the podcast is a week late, you can just chalk it up to James getting into the medicine cabinet again.

I'm kinda surprised this board allows non-crew to make topics in the first place.

It's usually worth the wait, so consider it a job well done so far in my eyes. Now get the hell back to work! :P

I fail to see any reason to worry :D. We all just got a nice, long, six-day podcast to sate our hunger.

Take a rest and worry about the podcast later. We'll still be here.

To be fair, most late podcast threads were started by crew. We just managed to reuse them.

Yeah, I think from now on, we should just try to wait out the delay. But as a courtesy, could you maybe let us know when the podcast is delayed because of, say, Laptop destruction and the like?

I try not to freak out when there's no podcast, and pretty much succeed. In fact, I always treat the podcasts as icing on the proverbial cake, so if there isn't one, I don't worry about it.

You should probably just maintain a locked sticky thread, that you could update the title of, to display when/if a new podcast is coming.

I would really appreciate if something like this was done. It would be rather nice to know if a podcast is going to happen on a given week or not. Even if it only tells yes or no for a week without any sort of timetable, it is nice to know whether to expect one or not so I can indulge in appropriate coping behavior if necessary.
