Anyone know what happend to the 40k radio site i can't seem to acsess it it i think is down am i the only one this is happening to or what.

There's a radio station for 40K!?

I read another thread someplace saying that they are doing web server maintenance or something of the nature and may be down for a few days.

Yeah their I-Tunes link is down also

server migration..

They've mentioned it several times that it was coming and that they weren't sure exactly when but they expected it to take around 72+ hours..

Not that they update it regularly anyway, unless you are a paying subscriber to their private forum...

How dare they support their server and production costs with a pay to use forum.

The nerve of the people.

It's back up..

25$ x 500 users = $12,500 a year.

I know they have more than 500 users.

They aqcuire another $10k or so from their sponsors.

Course, how much does it cost to travel to Games Day or to Memphis for the Waagh and such and do braodcasts from 'on location'? I'll admit it, I'm a Freeboota (one of the paying customers), and way back when, I actually made a suggestion to Spencer regarding paid subscriptions for special access....................

uStream.com hosts it. No cost.
When it comes to 'server' and 'specs' aspects. In truth - it really isn't as much of a kicker. They aren't fully streaming stuff off their own.


But its all good - no hate. Just sayin~ the facts.

They are a very much - for profit organization ;P

But we all are arent we! haha.

Hey, good for them. If I could make money doing something I love then I'd be pretty happy. Besides, they give away the podcast for free, so that's all I care about.

As I said no hate.

Just bringing up the case of 'server is not enough!' comment said above.

As long as the content you want is interviews and no real substance outside of making fun of someone slurring their words because they are half drunk, yeah it's great.

And they gets 20k$ for that. I think thats an awesome job.

*sarcasm*

xD.


Thats my only biggest grudge against the show - and why i stopped listening..


"40k all the time" hasn't held much to the slogan.

but i listen whenever i'm bored ha.

Is there a better 40k Podcast then them? if so list some ive been listening to them for a few weeks while i was toying with the idea of getting back into the game and there Humor acctualy got me hooked... along with the awesome mini's and fluff but if there is a better Podcast for 40k please share i would love to listen to one

In my opinion, 40kradio started going downhill a long time ago, sometime shortly after Phil left. In recent months they've noted and taken efforts to return to a podcast that's actually worth a damn, bringing back segments like "Third Party Products" and Chipley's new "Noobie corner". Spencer even acknowledged in a recent episode that they knew quality had slid and they were going to bust their humps to shine the show back up.

They're working on it, but in my opinion they're just not there yet.

Try Imperial Vox Cast or World's End Radio for something different.

Ive listened to Worlds end radio, but that seems to cover more WHFB then 40k ill give Vox a try and see how i like that.

Couple of my club members just started a new one, they're on their second broacast. Check it out. Link is to our club forum where they posted the various links for their cast.

I like http://www.dicelikethunder.com for a good 40k 'cast.

I still listen to 40kradio for giggles, but there's more 40k talk on DLT.

Worlds End Radio mainly covers Blood Bowl

It's my 2nd favorite gaming podcast next to The D6 Generation. They cover everything GW has done from Specialist games to the main systems, so every show has a different focus, but they talk about news and new releases every episode, so they hit all the current GW systems regularly.

I second DLT. 40k radio has its own merits but they really just goof around and bag on each other(at least they used to I have to be and say I have not listened to them since about Aug.) Even though I quit playing 40k for a while to try Fantasy out I still listened to DLT just to stay on top of things in case I decide to come back to 40k. The D6G is awesome but really they dont talk about GW much at all anymore and focus mainly on the new hotness so to speak

I tried to listen to Dice Like Thunder.
The audio quality was horrible.
I don't care if it is free, but get better equipment.
a bunch of guys all using the same mic, in a room that echoes, sounds like crap.
This goes for most of the podcasts out there. Almost all the Warmachine podcasts suffer from this.

To me, that is what sets the good podcasts apart.

40kRadio, D6G, World's End, Podhammer all have great sound quality.
D6G and World's End are the only ones who have kept consistently good content.
Probably as a result of their wide interests.

Iron Agenda is creeping up there as well, tho they are an exclusively Warmachine podcast.

Another thing I enjoy is the banter.
This makes 40KRadio and Podhammer stay on my playlist.
There are times I laugh out loud listening to them.
Its like hanging with my friends talking about hobby stuff.

That's precisely why I listen to the Myriad Games presentations. D6G turned me on to them, and their podcasts are nice, short bundles of boardgame fun. It's definitely like goofing off and chatting with your regular gaming group.

It sure used to be like that, but the Chi-town gang have really got things together recently and audio quality post-Mack is now pretty good. Better than 40kradio's I'd say as often I find it hard to pick up what Chipley's saying, while I have no trouble with understanding Tricky Dick, CSwizzy, Dan and the gang.

I must admit I'm a freeloader when it comes to podcasts, as there are so many out there and I only really listen to them to relieve the boredom on my 1/2-hour commute to and from work, so I just take what's out there for free and skip through them. If they get boring or crap in some way, I fast forward onto the next download. I synch my Blackberry every morning with my iTunes playlist so there's always a good deal of new crap on the thing to listen to.

They lost most of their sponsors because JarJar was a little too intoxicated and said a bad word.

Is 40k Radio the one where half the time the dude complains about how women are evil or is it the one where they drop n-bombs without care?
