Yep, I came home and first watched the fix and went straight to the boards to see all the silly fun response people would come up with. I even pondered how I could come up with a funny response. I'll get to that in a moment. First I want to Thank the team for all the work they put into the podcasts, meets, and the boards. Way to go team!!! I'm sure most of the DIS is busy getting ready to travel for the mega meet. 500 is a lot of people. I'm glad the team is getting some more time to get things done.It was also announced on the daily fix at 12pm... Just sayin'

Wow.
That is unbelievably rude and entitled of you to say.
I'm actually happy now that today's show got canceled.
I made concessions on Pete being sick on the last cancellation but this should have been announced way earlier than the day of the show.
The dis meet has been in the works for months now. They should be well prepared for the event by now and getting everyones credentials in order
Sorry if i come across cantankerous but I was eagerly awaiting this show for details about the meet, the auction, and recent events.
I don't remember this many show cancellations in prior years.
I just don't get that you can do 5 minutes for a daily fix but Pete couldn't give me like 45 minutes for a show today
"Cantankerous" probably isn't the word I'd use.Sorry if i come across cantankerous
This is the cutest meme I've seen all week!
How exciting Tigger!!!I had a funny feeling there wouldn't be a show today...sounds like so much that needs to be done. I would have loved one, but i understand and the reality...it helped me get a bit more done in the office today before I GO TO THE MEGA MEET!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!

I block out an hour each week for this show just to watch it live.
I spent at least 15 minutes on youtube refreshing my screen hoping there was a delay in the feed.
I would greatly appreciate more notification next time. Please be courteous to you viewers

First of all, I just want to give you huge props for your obviously awesome time management skills. I'm someone who is pretty good at time management, but I will admit that I do fall behind schedule sometimes, and sometimes I don't know if I'll be able to get everything done in time until right before a deadline. It's stressful to be that close to a deadline and realize that you may have to give something up to get things done. So if you never fall behind schedule and you always get things done on time without having to cancel other projects or activities, I'm really impressed. Please share your secret!
I have to admit ... I haven't been watching the show for very long, so I don't know how often it has been cancelled in the past. What I do know is that the size and scope of the mega meet is unprecedented, and I'm not surprised that it's consuming a lot of their time. Also, I get the impression that they've been putting out more content now than they ever have before (including the daily fix, which is only 7.5 months old), and that does mean less time for the "housekeeping" and administrative tasks.
I'm really not sure what you're trying to say about the daily fix vs. podcast. My guess is that the 5 minute daily fix probably takes 20-30 minutes to prepare, film, and produce, and only requires two people (the "host" and producer). The podcast (even a 45-minute podcast) probably takes at least an hour an a half (likely more), and requires more people to be present. In an all hands on deck situation (which I'm guessing is what's going on right now with the mega meet), I'd guess it's a lot easier to spare 2 people for 30 minutes than it is to spare 6-7 people for 1.5 hours. This is all speculation, though - I don't work for the podcast, I'm just making guesses on what Pete might be thinking based on my personal experience with non-podcast-related projects.
Like I said ... I'm really not sure what you're trying to say. Do you mind elaborating a bit? Just trying to understand where you're coming from.
It's not for any of us to decide when there should and shouldn't be a podcast. That decision belongs to Pete and the team. Believe me, I understand the frustration at not having a show, but I also understand that there may be times when things just don't go my way. Unless I'm the one putting the free content out there, I don't have a right to complain when it's not there.
I think you're over selling this.free form show like he use to do on Fridays.
So you're coming to the meet? Can't wait to meet you.I just wanted some info about meet and greet
