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 really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!
