Podcast listeners: move the show to Thursday?
Hey podcast listeners, we want your opinion: how would you feel about us moving the show to Thursday? We normally record Monday and then post the following day, but due to frequent Monday scheduling constraints it would be an ease up on Pete and I if we could do Wednesdays, and post the show on Thursday. We're not committed to anything -- if you guys really love the Tuesday slot we can keep it, but I figured we should ask since it's you guys who we're recording for. Thanks!

I'm a substantially regular listener to your Podcasts and I really don't see how it could make much of a difference to us listeners. As long as there's new news, then it's all great!
Mattso @ Nov 5th 2006 7:28PM
Do it, guys. We'll survive.
Scott @ Nov 5th 2006 7:31PM
Whatever is easier for you guys.
Scott @ Nov 5th 2006 7:31PM
We're just glad to have the podcast to start with!
Jake @ Nov 5th 2006 7:36PM
shure, It'll give more time for you to make a better podcast won't it?
Wysz @ Nov 5th 2006 7:37PM
Any day is fine with me, it's not like I have to reset my VCR or tune in at a different time. It shows up in iTunes when it shows up in iTunes.
Grant H @ Nov 5th 2006 7:41PM
I don't mind what day of the week guys, hey - as long as you keep up the constant airplane/car horn back noise, I'm a happy man!
Artr @ Nov 5th 2006 7:43PM
No problem guys, like Scott said, it's good to have the podcast once a week anyway.
konstantin @ Nov 5th 2006 7:44PM
Anyday is fine as long as we have the podcast.
ALIUS @ Nov 5th 2006 7:44PM
Any day is cool with me!!
Eli Reed @ Nov 5th 2006 7:45PM
I'm just glad there is a show so do what you need to.
nick @ Nov 5th 2006 7:45PM
sounds cool to me
elmapache @ Nov 5th 2006 7:48PM
Any day is good!
Andrew @ Nov 5th 2006 7:48PM
The same day as Security Now!?... what will Steve Gibson think?
I usually end up listening to most of the podcasts when I'm traveling on the weekend. So, any day is cool.
Sam @ Nov 5th 2006 7:53PM
Do what you have to do. I don't care what day the show comes out as long as I get a show every week.
Rick S. @ Nov 5th 2006 7:53PM
move it, whatever keeps the podcast alive, and it sounds like this would ease the tension of a weekly show, so do it!
i love the podcast, and if it stopped i'd have to start listening to Leo Laporte's iPhone "net"cast *cringe*.
Brent Coco @ Nov 5th 2006 7:56PM
Whatever makes for more regular podcasts.
al saiz @ Nov 5th 2006 8:02PM
Why not, if it's easier for you guys.
Jon R @ Nov 5th 2006 8:10PM
As long as you do not cancel the show its all good. Plus it will give your more stories to talk about so do the show late in the week. We don't care. Keep em coming
Beau Giles @ Nov 5th 2006 8:39PM
Having a regular weekly podcast is more important than what day of the week it is on.
Dave Findlay @ Nov 5th 2006 8:49PM
do what's most convenient for you guys
apeguero @ Nov 5th 2006 8:50PM
Whatever's clever Ryan. It's your schedule not ours, right everyone? Just please try to have it on a weekly basis with some good info and opinions and smart-aleck comments, 'mkay? Late! (That's "later" for you non-PodF1 listeners).
Bman21212 @ Nov 5th 2006 8:52PM
Thursday is better than Tuesday, since that is when I have time to listen :)
kristin @ Nov 5th 2006 8:57PM
Oddly enough, it would work out better for my podcast-listening if the Engadget podcast was released Thursday. Of course, I just love the show and if it were released on only alternate Sundays and only downloadable in a certain time frame, I'd still make it work, so moving the date of release is really not an issue...
Steve S @ Nov 5th 2006 8:59PM
Whatever is easier for you guys. Thanks for doing the show.
JOn @ Nov 5th 2006 9:11PM
All is care is that there IS one every week ;)
That hiatus over the summer was unbearable!
Travis @ Nov 5th 2006 9:21PM
I rarely listen to it right after publication so what ever works for you guys certainly works for this appreciative listener! Keep up the great work.
jalapeno @ Nov 5th 2006 9:22PM
I really miss this podcast when you guys don't do it. Any day of the week is fine, just keep up the good work!
Shawn McClelland @ Nov 5th 2006 9:38PM
NO, I want it Tuesday.
I'm just kidding, who would really say such a thing?
Any day is fine with me.. except Thursday!
noel @ Nov 5th 2006 9:40PM
Who knew you posted on Tuesdays? I time-shift all my podcasts anyways so it makes no difference to me.
What would make a difference is if you would post mp3s instead of aac files, as i am using a non-ipod (sony ericsson p910 symbian smart phone) that doesn't play well with aac and so I have to manually convert your shows. A bit of a pain but worth it.
Keep up the great work.
Gabriel Lowe @ Nov 5th 2006 9:49PM
Fine here too. BTW...Can you announce or post a list of the winners of all the giveaways?
alex @ Nov 5th 2006 9:57PM
I don't care when you do it, just do it consistently.
Zach Hardt @ Nov 5th 2006 10:00PM
I'll take it however I can get it!
Ryan P @ Nov 5th 2006 10:03PM
It fits into my pod-schedule well on tuesday, but if it means a more set-in-stone weekly 'cast then I'm all for it.
Craig @ Nov 5th 2006 10:06PM
Very kind of you to ask. Thursday is fine for me.
Alex @ Nov 5th 2006 10:10PM
as long as its weekly it will be fine. It is the same 7 days in between each show. The only weird week would be the one were you switch. maybe you could record on monday and post a 2 part podcast, one on tues and one on thurs.
AKBlade13 @ Nov 5th 2006 10:17PM
Nice. I'd actually appreciate the move to Thursday since it would give you more material and it would also allow me to listen to it at a later time.

JeffT @ Nov 5th 2006 10:24PM
I really look forward to listening to the podcast on Tuesday evening on my way home from work. Tuesday seems to be a slow podcast day, which makes it even more special.
Steve @ Nov 5th 2006 10:25PM
whatevers easier for you, just keepum comin
Mark @ Nov 5th 2006 10:35PM
What ever day is good for you is great for me, but please please have an MP3 version availably through RSS.
The http://podcasts.engadget.com/rss.xml - Add the Engadget Podcast feed (in MP3) is actually in AAC.
Regards
Mark
Greg Mardon @ Nov 5th 2006 10:53PM
Do what you feel is necessary to keep the podcast running!
Keep up the great work!
Ron R. @ Nov 5th 2006 11:00PM
Thanks for you consideration guys. Any day you guys want to record it, it'll be cool. Thanks for the show.
monkd @ Nov 5th 2006 11:00PM
Do it!
Peter Reynolds @ Nov 5th 2006 11:10PM
When ever you want to. It's time shifted listening for us.
M. Salazar @ Nov 5th 2006 11:12PM
Whatever works. Keep up the good work.
M0les @ Nov 5th 2006 11:18PM
Jawol! Do it. I tend to get the things up to a week late anyway.
Bump...
Roofus @ Nov 5th 2006 11:36PM
I think everyone would agree that if it's easier for you guys and we can still get it every week or even without missing weeks, then anyday is great.
Jesse @ Nov 5th 2006 11:42PM
As long as it's weekly and consistent I don't care which day it comes on. It might be nice since a lot of podcasts come out on Sunday/Monday it would spread out my weekly lineup.
Jon Steinmetz @ Nov 5th 2006 11:52PM
Any day is fine with me but I might suggest that you could do the show on Friday/Saturday or Thursday/Friday. This might allow you to cover more events during the week and if someone does not listen to it until the weekend or Monday they are not likely to miss any news coverage since the there is not much happening on the weekend.
Arno @ Nov 5th 2006 11:54PM
I personally like having it earlier in the week rather than later because I only work monday and wednesdays (doubles, I'm no bum) so if it comes out on Tuesday I have something to listen to on wednesdays. But that's just me, do what works for you guys.
