Agree. Another great podcast.
Wasn't there going to be a Dr. Solar Exclusive issue at the ComicCon?
Thanks folks! There was a Doctor Solar SDCC exclusive at Comic-Con. You can probably find these pretty easily, there were 2,000 printed, and they certainly didn't sell out at the con.
I prefer this podcast.
"talking at the same time, and talking over each other"
Ok, thanks.

Another good one, got me through about an hour's worth of a six-hour drive today.

Hey Chiclo, how much were they asking for those gold Prime holos?

As for talking over each other, it's generally better when you don't but there's not really a way around it.

I think that it is fine. It's always entertaining. The one thing that you could do as Main Host is pull a sublte move that Johnny Carson used to employ which is to repeat what the person said for clarity's sake at times. For instance if Chiclo was stepped on a bit while Z makes a comment (as if :P ) then you could pick up with Chiclo, "So, Chiclo, you're saying that..."

I've noticed you do it a few times already, so I think you know to do this, but maybe even take notes to remind yourself? There have been a few times you guys have tried to go back to something but it kinda vaporized in the wind.

Obviously, the Con is a different animal and much harder to "take notes" during one of those sessions.

The intro music could be shorter. Seems like it wastes a lot of time. I think 5 secs of intro music would be long enough.

I guess I didn't realize we were talking about two set-ups, I never really noticed listening to the audio. :oops:

I would prefer it where you can hear everyone talking at once, even if it's not 100% clear, it does sound more like what it might sound like if you were there in person.

I can see your point. Originally, I wrote the song as an homage to the guys.

Sean, what do you think? Should I edit it down?

That was a good one, although he disappeared for quite a while. The guys thought he might've fallen asleep!

He probably got tired of ZWH talking over him.

Are you still having the problem?

How are you trying to download them? Through iTunes, from the web (which site?), RSS reader, etc?

Yes, I just tried now before responding to this post. I am on your site, where it says "Download" and there's a link. When I DL'd epi. 15 (way back) I just clicked the link and my comp DL'd the MP3 file. Now, no matter what episode I click, it just starts playing the file in Quicktime. I have no opportunity to actually download the thing. I don't have iTunes and don't even know what RSS is, I just want to DL the things and put them on my MP3 player.

-slym
Are you left-clicking the link or are you right-clicking on it, which brings up the little menu which has six options or so, one of them being "save link as..."?

If you just left click on the link, it doesn't download it, it just plays it from the page.

Sorry if you're already doing this, just thought it couldn't hurt to ask.

Most browsers are configured to download any audio file to a temporary location and play it in your browser when you click on them.

If you want to save the file, you need to "right click/save as", as Bro J mentioned.
