No regular episode this week.

New episode on the way.

May 23rd, 2009

Coming this Tuesday, May 26.

Like, for reals.

It’s gonna blow your mind.

…Okay, well, I can’t actually prove that. But it’s gonna be pretty good.

An apology.

May 11th, 2009

It’s been two months today since our last episode. There have been a few reasons for the delay: a wedding, work, house hunting, a lack of interesting-sounding topics, and general malaise on my part towards the podcast.

None of the reasons I gave there really need any explaining, except perhaps the last one. I’ve been out of sorts when it comes to the show, mostly because I just don’t know who out there—besides myself, Duggar, my dad, and a few friends—is listening. I’m going to attempt to put the podcast in another stat tracker to figure out that very question, but other than that, I don’t know what to do. My calls for emails and/or voicemails at the end of each show seem to fall on deaf ears, and FeedBurner can only go so far in telling who’s getting the ‘cast, and from where, so I’m kind of at a loss. If there’s no one out there to speak of who’s actually listening to the show, then what purpose does it serve, anyway?

Let’s be honest: TUMP is nowhere near being the best podcast on the Web, not even the best video game-related podcast. But it’s mine, and as long as I know there’s interest out there, I’ll try my best to keep it going.

So I place the onus on you, readers and listeners. Let me know what we’re doing right at the show, what we’re doing wrong, what you’d like us to talk about, and anything else. The show’s for you, not for us. Just talk to us, already!

You know the address, and the phone number. And if you don’t, they’re on this page, right here. Get talking!
