DISCLAIMER!

This episode was recorded over two weeks ago. The crunch of the regionals tournament caught up with your poor editor and the podcast got thrown on the backburner. BUT. We decided it was worth it to at least post it up, even if it’s RIDICULOUSLY late. We do apologize for this.

So, Pokefans! We’ve got some outdated news, a victorious Pokemon spotlight, and a look at the Doubles VG format in this extra-long, extra-late episode. So grab a plate of poffins and please accept our apologies as you prepare to give your Radio Rotom what it wants!

Episode #39 now live on iTunes!

theundergroundmailbag@gmail.com (Nateal Erickson and Samuel Reinke) — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 03:52:44 +0000

Hey again Pokefans, Samuel again to bring you another update. We discovered the problem was one that was inherent to the way we host the podcast, which was that the file format for the podcast episode wasn’t playing nicely with iTunes’ format choices, so it wouldn’t recognize our audio file as an audio file. The only solution, therefore, was to simply let technology run its course and wait and see if iTunes would update to allow us to give to them our audio file. And now they have! Episode #39, “A Song of Storm and Plasma”, is now live on iTunes! I checked to make sure. You can trust me. But not Ditto. He cannot ever, ever be trusted. Have a good weekend, and Nateal and I will be recording #40, “Cuisine a la Pokemon”, quite soon.

Episode #39 – A Song of Storm and Plasma

theundergroundmailbag@gmail.com (Nateal Erickson and Samuel Reinke) — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:30:31 +0000

Episode #39 iTunes issues, Episode #40 delayed

theundergroundmailbag@gmail.com (Nateal Erickson and Samuel Reinke) — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 02:20:06 +0000

Hello Pokefans, this is Samuel speaking, bringing you a few updates on the show. First off, iTunes is still refusing to acknowledge that “A Song of Storm and Plasma” is an actual thing, so it isn’t found on iTunes and won’t update into your podcast list. The show is live here on the site, though, so we assure you it is a real thing and you can listen to/download it from here. We’ll continue to work on it so that our iTunes users won’t feel like we’ve left them holding the bag.

The second bit of news we have is that episode #40 will be delayed. We got some bad news from home today, and Nateal and I have decided to put recording on hold for a while.

Thanks for listening, stay classy like a Persian, and have yourselves a good weekend.
