Rubbish! The long episodes are great. If people are having troubling getting through them it is easy enough to jot down the time and listen to them in multiple sittings.

So is that a yay or nay on the 2hr+ episodes ?

Should we split them into more manageable lengths ?

rialb said:

By remember the minute no and going back to it (when time allows) you miss the flow of things. I say 2 episodes built up with intro, body and conclusion.

thanks at least for considering it.

I like the longer shows (sorry Bohemian67 ) I never liked TV mini-series either. When I have time restraints it's easy to remember where I left off and return to that portion of the podcast. Two hours a month is hardly a "fix" for this purple hippie. Just my .

Stick with the longer shows.

The listener can always make the choice to listen in one go or split it up them.

Great show again. I really look forward to these Podcasts.

I like your long ones.




and yes, that was supposed to sound dirty.

I'm from Melbourne and I love all your shows is there any way I can get part of it? And become a member?

rialb said:

AND, if using an iPod or iTunes, the software will remember where you left on and continue at the same point the next time you play the track.

I agree! Long shows are great, and the listener can always split it up if they choose.

Seeing as I'm from melbourne could I call In an give my opinions on album reviews?

I vote for longer shows.

squirrelgrease said:

Well it looks like one long show outvotes a split show by about 5 to 1

^

I'm looking forward to the ten hour Emancipation episode.

rialb said:

Nine of those hours will be spent discussing how to make it a good 1 disc album.

rialb said:

yeah that will definitely be a long one, that is one that will HAVE to be split up over the 3 discs or it will seriously go for like 4+ hours

Yeah, for something like Emancipation or Crystal Ball I can see you doing one episode per disc.

rialb said:

This makes perfect sense for multiple disc sets.

FunkyStrange said:

Great album, great review, great show !

for long episodes.


these young whippersnappers and their limited attention span

I am still jamming to this album !!

All my fingers in the pool go splash we must.

purple electricity whenever our bodies touch....

Just listened to the b-sides episode which was very cool. I liked the choices, but how could no-one choose Erotic City???!!!!

I also would have taken Heaven, parts 1,2,3 even if it is more a 12" a-side it feels like a different song.

You don't think there will be only one B-Sides show do you ?

GREAT episode and I LOVE the long format. I personally have no issue w/ 2 hour + shows. My new commute on the El (or elevated train to you non Chicago types) clocks in @ around 40 minutes (including the time spent standing on the platform freezing my ass off), so I was turbo jazzed to have this keep me company to and from work.

The last two podcasts have been tip top and it is always a highlight to see your shows pop up in my iTunes download.

Thanks gents and keep up the great work!

[EDIT] - The next time you are thinking about going light on that podcast, I want you to think of ol' BBJ standing on this platform below looking like a punk because the P&B podcast just ended. Sad times, brother.



...OK, now that you have that visual in your head, think of all the little people you help when you go the 2 hour + distance. You see, I may be cold, but at least I am cold listening to a pack of Aussies dish about eveyone's fav funkster. Good times, brother!

[And yes, I know it is May and technically "Spring" up here, but trust me, it's still freaking cold! Welcome to Chicago...]
