I hope not, but I'm ever grateful for the sweet sweet archives.

If it is killed come listen to Bad at Sports. Maybe Wurster can start calling me on the phone.

Maybe this has something to do with the fact that the resident Podcast Lackey was calling for a junior podcast lackey because he's going away for a few weeks or something?

Get it while you can -- the podcast dies in April 2007.

Jeez, I hope that the podcast doesn't die.  I love the podcast.

This pisses me off, too. Listening to TBS at work is for champs. RealAudio is for chumps.

But I'm not Tom, and I don't have time to rig up the podcast myself, so I have no legitimate complaint.

Noooooooooo. That's insane! I can't sit at my computer for 3 hours a week listening to it.. it's much more enjoyable when out walking or travelling.

Too many people will miss it too much if this happens!

I have this feeling that this is all a joke. It can't be that much trouble to throw it up there. I have this feeling the Best Show is leaving WFMU and becoming Internet only.

I've just heard this week's and am confident we won't be losing it!

Whoever gives Tom his podcast figures is a silly billy.

Yes, it seems to be a very low number, doesn't it?  30-something?  I was wondering; since I use the program Juice and not I Tunes, does that let them know that I'm subscribed etc?  There are many different pod cast grabbers and I wonder if they all show up in the final count. 

as I've said before if there were a pledge drive specifically for the podcast I'd be willing to chip in, as well as many others here, I'm sure.  It is great to listen to the show at work.

I'm sure you're counted. And I'm sure the podcast figures are a running joke... I know I laugh! Like once some guy phoned and mentioned that one week there was only one subscriber and he was subscribed at the time, so he was THE ONE!

(I was also subscribed that week)

If it goes Internet-only, there'll be a lot more toilet talk, and that's good for everybody.  Listen to the Mike Sajak bit from your premium CD.

I don't think so. I don't remember Tom ever lying to/kidding with his audience before.

I really wish you were right.

That's really all I can say about this subject for the moment...

Has this anything to do with your travelling? Has anyone applied for junior lackey yet? If not, and the fate of the podcast depends on it, sign me up!

AWWWW! this is the most adorable thing I've heard in a lONG time!!!
i'm listening (through the podcast) to the December 24, 2002 Christmas Show & LITTLE PETEY calls in to open his gift!!!

THIS IS SO CUTE!

petey- you're my favorite caller.

ps: this is a really funny episode. Jason calls in & tom doesn't believe he's british. If you haven't already, i highly recommend listening to this. im not sure why its in the podcast area, but its great b/c i can listen at work, wooohoo!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: this episode is amazing because of the ultimate Captain Jack Meltdown.

I'm going to speak on behalf of everyone in Australia and plead that the podcast continues. So so great, Tom, Jon & Mike (and all that help them out) are my unsung heroes.

So, what was the result? I can only listen by podcast... Will there be one for me when I get home today? Please Tom, from the good (well kind of) people of New Zealand, please let us have our podcast!

These two guys may be antipodean, but they aren't antipodcast.

Haven't gotten the chance to hear this week's show, nor have I yet (though I will) gotten my pro-podcast pledge in, but I was wondering if there is a running tally.

Antipodcast sounds like something you can get at the Olive Garden. Get on board...

It's one of their four appetizers: antipodcast, antibiotic, antipasta, and garden salad. Endless breadsticks no matter what, though.

Did anyone see Conan last night? It was a repeat, but Jim "Mad Money" Cramer was on, and he ranted about how you could take Olive Garden to the cleaners because of their all you can eat salad bar. He mentioned it so many times, like he couldn't believe it!

I'd just like to remind everyone how clever I am.
