Have you listened to every single show?

[Regular Joe]

I got over-excited, and I apologize. In the future, I will search for things, instead of leaping to insane conclusions. Good day.

[Gibby]

New router. Archive works fine for me now.

Coming up to Show #350. Wonder if there are any plans to celebrate.

[AllisonLeGnome]

It looked like I was on my way at one point- not that I was nearly there yet, but I was moving at a pretty fast pace. Then life happened, and now I can barely keep up with the current podcast. Also, I have no records of which shows I've listened to, other than which mp3s are in iTunes.

[snogrog]

I have every podcast and am pretty sure I've listened to most of them so I think that's like 150 or so shows there. I'm commencing starting from the earliest archive chronologically soon though. I had no idea the show used to only be 2 hours and pretty much consist of just a call from Wurster, somebody else, and rarely a "real" caller. My how the show has grown.

[Scot]

for those listening through the archives, do you skip the music, or do you consider the music integral to the show?

i tend to skip, much as i love or like most of what gets played.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

i cant skip the music, it creates an atmosphere that puts me in the game.

[masterofsparks]

I skip the music.

[yesno]

I load up a bunch of shows on my hutPhone, set them all to remember their position, and skip each one ahead of time to where Tom starts talking.

[Sarah]

I did and do not skip the music.  It's part of the show, so I want to hear it.  Indeed, that it's not included in the podcasts is one of the reasons I don't bother with them.  (Well, that and the fact that I'm generally within hearing range of my computer's speakers, so the archives work just fine for me, thank you very much, especially since I don't mind using Realplayer.)

[breadharrity]

I'm nowhere near all the way, but that's because life takes over and I barely keep up on the show week after week. The music is always good, so there's no reason to skip it.

[namethebats]

I've heard every episode since I started listening (March 2007) but I'm only through April 2001 in the archives.

[Gibby]

I NEVAH skip the music. I wouldn't know about Von LMO, DC Snipers and a hole host of other awesome bands if I did that.

[wwwes]

I try to listen, but sometimes it's too much for my tastes, which have been described as "teeny-bopper bullshit", and I just have to skip ahead.

[Big Plastic Head]

I NEVAH skip the music. I wouldn't know about Von LMO, DC Snipers and a hole host of other awesome bands if I did that.

Same here, G.

[cleveland jonah]

Sadly i completed the entire archive in about 2 months listening 8 hours a day at work and a couple more at home.

yikes.
