Title: Would it be okay if..
Post by: Dutch_Dan on July 26, 2012, 03:54:15 PM

I start sharing the show in a podcast/MP3 format with the music set included?

Because that's how I'm listening to The Best Show lately, and I thought about uploading it somewhere via Bit Torrent or what have you. I can't be the only one in a different timezone or otherwise unable to listen live or catch up via the internet, who's bummed out by losing the great sets at the start of the show all the time.

Whenever I listen to the archive (e.g. at work the next day) it includes the music sets that start the show. Did I unwittingly hack the machine?

Archives are available in streaming mp3 format, for something like 3 or 4 weeks after broadcast. After that, no more streaming mp3, but you can still hear the entire show via the flash player thingy.

The podcast version of the Best Show is available for longer than that (permanently?) ... but the musical section of the show is excised.
