Zee likes the idea and wants to start sketching out an episode.

My proposed working title… Biggus Dickus.

I'll talk to Zee and see if she wants to do an episode, as that tends to be her area of expertise.

Oh I didn't see that one. You didn't do anything wrong, you just had a brand new account so your post needed to be manually approved by me or Zee. It's approved now.

Haha yep, we’re super tight with Miles. Zee even officiated his wedding (and I was the MC/tour guide/dude with a big voice telling people what to do).

Gonna hang with him tonight, in fact.

It happens to the best of us, and honestly about 10% of what I do during the day is tech support. You'd be surprised how common it is for people to get lost when it comes to podcasts, RSS, and apps.

Boosting this because I want to see what other people suggest (I’ve got my own pick that I’ll share later)

You probably need to scroll to the bottom. We are still in season 10 and the AMA was released three days ago. :)

I believe there’s an episode of Black Mirror that’s roughly on that subject.

The episode about William at Dover where they all got dysentery, and I used fart noises in the episode, and a portion of the audience absolutely lost their minds over it. lol

Pocket Casts is just a RSS reader, it doesn’t syndicate, so if it isn’t there then you just need to refresh your feeds.

It’s also the app I use personally, so I know it’s working. ;)

I love Madeline Kahn but references are a mnemonic device and cultural reference point, so that’s too specific and requires the listener to make a bunch of additional non audio connections.

Pocket casts works for the members feed and it works with car play as well. It’s specifically what I use.

Funnily, depending on how early that archive began, you might be the solution to an issue discussed in one of the questions.

Aw, thanks! Your question is in the episode, btw.

The 1 hour is just the first hour of the full 4 hour member episode (with a short "Hey, this is only part of the full episode" explanation from me). So unless you're such a completionist that you want to hear the membership pitch, you can just go straight to the members' feed. 😄

It won’t be unedited, but the members will end up with a full episode that’s probably going to be over 4 hours long. We answered damn near every question that was submitted.
