Thanks goodness you're back.

[Ryan Block @ Jun 7th 2007 7:51PM]

Thanks for stickin' around!

[alex @ Jun 7th 2007 7:59PM]

Lordie, yes. I thoroughly enjoy both Ryan's and Peter's analysis on the various products, trends, business models, etc. that crosses Engadget's path, but please try to make the podcast a little more consistent as to how often it's put out. Thanks again.

[Robert @ Jun 7th 2007 8:53PM]

It should be shorter, perhaps, but is a great assett. At least is much much better than the one from crappy CNET with the ambigously gay duo and that weird gestapo looking old lady...

[Veronica @ Jun 8th 2007 12:03PM]

Ryan can attest to the fact that I am not, in fact, gay. Ambiguously or otherwise :)

-Veronica (from the Crappy CNET Podcast)

[Ryan Block @ Jun 8th 2007 12:09PM]

V, I don't think this guy realizes we're, um, "involved".

[Robert @ Jun 8th 2007 1:23PM]

I was referring to Tom + Kent (ambigously g...) and Molly (gestapo looking because she dresses like a pre-war german aunt). I do believe that podcast is out of touch. Nonetheless I will not leave more comments since I made it in the informal spirit of a blog. No harm intended.

Ps. And I do know by way of the fake Steve Jobs interview of both your involvement, which I congratulate deeply and hope the best to both.

Best to all, Roberto

I was really close to deleting the itunes subscription cause you guys have not done a show in almost 2 months. But now you're back on my good side =)

[Ben @ Jun 7th 2007 9:58PM]

Thanks for coming back.

[Jake @ Jun 8th 2007 12:11AM]

let's get this more regular.

[hongkongtechkid @ Jun 8th 2007 4:56AM]

Ay, more regular. I used to listen to it every week, even when I was in Australia and the download cost me $5. Great show, keep it up.

[Erik Baca @ Jun 8th 2007 5:09AM]

About time guys, Keep it coming puhlease!

[ryan10ad @ Jun 8th 2007 5:11PM]

Great, finally your back after a month. Now I have to start up windows again to get it back on my pod.

[ryan10ad @ Jun 8th 2007 5:11PM]

Also can the mothership (Engadget) tell the sidling (Engadget HD) to get their buts moving also to get a podcast going out aswell please.

[Eugene @ Jun 10th 2007 8:36PM]

Great to see you guys back, I've been missing ya!

[Mike Mullen @ Jul 12th 2007 6:38AM]

When's the next Podcast guys?

[Jimmy B @ Jul 18th 2007 1:29PM]

whats the deal guys? you're breaking my heart here, could you at least give us a reason why you havent made any recent podcasts?

[Bob Violence @ Aug 1st 2007 1:18PM]

I really like the podcast, but I've withdrawn it from the list of podcasts that I listen to ... it's hard to actually listen to a podcast when it's approaching 2 full months since the last one came out. My guess is that everyone at Engadget is so awe-struck with their crappy new iPhones that they can't tear themselves away long enough to record a new podcast (where ironically all they do is talk about the crappy new iPhone, go figure).

[Jimmy B @ Aug 3rd 2007 3:49PM]

well i can understand not having a podcast for the next week or two, pete just got married. good luck with that dude, hope you and jill have an awesome life together.

[Per Eriksson @ Aug 9th 2007 1:48PM]

Too bad, the podcasts used to be really good altho i always thought they were too short.
Maybe you should just call this end of Engadget a day and move on?

[Steve S @ Aug 24th 2007 12:15AM]

really miss the show

[Robert Clegg @ Aug 26th 2007 5:11AM]

Any Update on when this is coming back - please give us an update...!! pleeeeeeeease! :-)
