Hey guys, I was just thinking it would be cool if the podcast had a mailbag section. You could make a thread for questions, and also have an email adress for them. It would just add a little something to the podcast.

Yeah that sounds good, and it would probally add another 5mins to the podcast.

Good idea, do it!

We usually cut about 10 to fifteen minutes out. I'm not ruling it out, but I don't think we're a mailbag type show.

yeah I think the podcasts (including the humpday update) are perfect and you don't want to mess around with a formula that works. If someone needs a answer they can just ask the team on the forum as long as you dont insult lono:p.

Out of interest why do you cut it out, just because its not that entertaining or because your trying to keep the time down?

Have you ever considered making the podcast longer? That would be my biggest request.

I've tried to convince them to make a 60-minute (or even 45-minute) podcast instead of the usual 30 minutes, but the "we want you to be able to listen to the show during your daily commute to work/school" argument seems to be the important for the Sarcastic Gamer team (BTW, my daily commute to school takes me 45 minutes :p ).

my daily commute to school takes me 45 minutes :p ).

...and then there is the journey home with no podcast at all to listen to :(

Id have to say a longer podcast is also my biggest request.

Yes, longer podcast and mailbag, please! I mean, 5 min isn't that much, is it? You wouldn't even have to answer more than one or two...

My bus rides to college every day take way longer than the legnth of the podcast, unfortunately.

think, in a world with a longer podcast, we could do anything, it could be 7 hours and we could listen to it through school, it could be 10 hours and we could listen to it during sleep, it could be 24 hours and we could always listen to it. Though I do like the idea of a mailbag, and 5 more minutes of the show. Bur for me right now the shows the perfect length, cuz I listen to it before school.
