| Post subject: | Nameday of the Podcast? |
Hey guys, so I was wondering... When is the anniversary of the first podcast? I tried to look at the date of the first recording but my new podcast app is only displaying the last 15 or so episodes (which really sucks by the way because now I can't listen to any of the first like 85 eps). I know some of you know this stuff.

March 2008. March 18 was the release date, a good one to mark in the calendar, sure. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1418 Episode 100 will not be released that late unless it happens to take that long to record (and edit). |

It seems we get the big 100 before March 18th, great! When I recorded with them, Kyle mentioned that episode 100 could have been already recorded - I thought it was just fun, but do we really know?
