There are two reasons I want to keep the episodes shorter: it's easier for me to get them out on a regular basis (it takes a long time for me to edit) and also I personally just prefer shorter podcasts. There's also been a fair amount of discussion on the podcasters yahoo list about show length, and for a show with one person and very little else (no songs, music, sound effects, etc.), 30 minutes seems like a good length.

I would probably not have enjoyed a full one-hour show, but, given that you were so involved in its development, a 30-minute good and bad episode would have been too sparse. Keep up the good work!

At first, I thought a game that had only been out for ten years really should not be covered on a *vintage* gaming show. But once I heard your special connection to the game, it seemed a very valuable choice for coverage. I wish you have done both the good and the bad in one episode, however. I have never played this game so I think there will be more *drama* to the story in the second halh. I want to assure you that going over 30 minutes is no problem on this end. As long as you think you have something to say, keep going no matter how long it takes! Remember, we have complete control. It's not like listening to radio. We can tune in and tune out at the touch of a pause button whenever we want. Hear you next week! Jim:
