why did you give another episode to pete to edit. It’ll take three years before it see’s the light of day. I know you’ve got jobs and stuff but I can’t see how like one night of the week whoevers editing couldn’t just sit down and do it in one batch. There’s always free time and while i think its good you guys are prioritising your life before the show so it feels more like fun, but there’s still a commitment to get the show to the fans expediently (or in the case of 27, at all)

Well maybe its time that one or all of you quit your jobs and focus on what really matters.

This comment will add nothing to the discussion.

@Kornkurlz I wasn’t trying to make an excuse, mostly because I don’t think one’s necessary. I don’t *like* disappointing the few people that would even want to listen to Tapezilla on a weekly basis, but the reason it takes a month to get an episode edited is the same reason it sometimes takes a month to tape one. We intend to turn them around quickly, but shit happens.

When it was 3 people who could all edit the show, they could skip around if someone took too long getting to the editing. With the current lineup, there are only two and both of them are otherwise occupied with work, family, relationship stuff, or even other hobbies, it gets pushed back.

We’d all like for it to be clockwork, but we also don’t want it to feel like a job. Odds are we’d just stop doing the show before it felt like we *had* to get the show out on a schedule; that wouldn’t be fun for anyone, us or the listeners.

Update: Last I knew, Peter was working on editing episode #28 earlier this evening.

Nope, that’s not the reason — the reason is Pete failing at life yet again. =(

i dont see how one shitty computer in a group of four can be the reason of taking over a month to edit though.

If it makes anyone feel any better, we don’t like that we can sometimes go a MONTH without releasing an episode. I actually like having a new episode to listen to every week, too. We’re also down to two possible editors (RJ and Peter), because my machine is too old and slow to handle multitrack editing; just exporting my track every week takes around half an hour. This *should* get better soon, as my fatty tax refunds are going to two things: a grill and a computer that doesn’t suck.

I just want to listen to your voices! Is that too much to ask?

By the way, my ranting doesnt come from hate or dislike, I really like you guys and your podcast and site, I just wish it kept up with my demand for it is all.
