Show 67: No Show

Published on: February 13, 2007 by Paul Boag

Hello and welcome to what should be the 67th episode of boagworld.com, the podcast for all those involved in designing, developing and running websites on a daily basis. However, unfortunately there will be no show this week.

Following the success of the client’s corner section of the show Marcus feels that he should have a high profile within the podcast. He has therefore asked that the show be renamed MarcusWorld and that he gets to go on all of the jollies and conferences instead of me. Unsurprisingly, I am uncomfortable with the arrangement feeling that this undermines the hard work I have put in to build up the boagworld brand.

The situation has reached a loggerhead where neither I nor Marcus are willing to continue with the show until the issue is resolved. We are currently in mediation and hope to resolve the problem shortly.

Go on admit it, I had you going for a moment there didn’t i! No the real reason for there being no show this week is that I am currently off of work and our workloads are too extreme to reschedule.

However, rest assured we will be back next week with a bumper episode. If you are new to the show then you can listen to our back catalogue. If you are a regular listener then you will have to get your boagworld fix by replaying this message 100 times.

Thanks for listening and speak to you soon.

    Isn't the real reason your sick as a dog and have an awful flu.. . and being the nice chappie that you are you don't want to infect the Boag Borgs :)

    Or you have killed Marcus for rebelling and chopped him up and flushed him down the loo. :)

    "The situation has reached a loggerhead where neither I nor Marcus are willing to continue with the show until the issue is resolved. We are currently in mediation and hope to resolve the problem shortly."

    Genius.

    Hope you guys can get on top of your work. At just 18, I already know what that's like.

    lol... I cant believe how many of you are not listening to this properly and think we are serious! Classic!

    The truth is I am off work ill and we are just swamped with work so decided to take a week off of the show.

    Oh just kiss and make up. Please.

    Paul, you scared the hell out of me! Thought it could be the end of Boagworld! I had to get a glass of water and lie down for a while to overcome the shock. Thank god I listened to the end, might have passed out otherwise.

  • Post by Jason on February 13, 2007 6:51 PM

    You did have me going there. I'm not sure how you could keep a straight face while saying that. I would have laughed half way through.

    Good one! Hope to hear from you next week.

    Indeed, one never knows what they have taken for granted until it's gone. The show must go on! Having said that I just spent the last three months listening to every episode from the beginning.... now that I'm caught up this might be good chance to give my ears a well deserved break ;) My wife is starting to think I'm odd for busting out british words like "Drivel", "Woolly", "Tosser" and "Waffling". Thanks for the show guys, even though I'm a programmer and not a designer I still find your podcast relevant and enlightening.

    heh heh. The best bit is it was only the /last/ show that you emphasised that a podcast should always be done no matter what as your audience expect it. :-) Get out your sick bed dammit! Be a man!
    Seriously though, hope you feel better RSN.

  • Post by Iain on February 14, 2007 10:17 AM

    Forgot to ask, has Marcus remixed the theme music? The snare's sounded higher in the mix in the last podcast?

  • Post by James on February 14, 2007 10:42 AM

    I think we may be missing a serious point. Now Paul has raised the issue, Marcusworld does have a certain ring to it and you have to admit there's nothing more fun than a good contract!

    Personally, I found playing it 100 times excessive, since this episode was 1:18 minutes and the average of the last 5 episodes is 47:46. So I stopped after 36.74 cycles. I've been wondering lately whether I've got too much time on my hands?

    Great show, sorry you couldn't make it this week, but if you have to make excuses you might as well do it with style.

  • Post by Andi on February 14, 2007 9:30 PM

    But... but... but I NEED my Boagworld fix! My hands are already starting to ssshhhakkke. I don't know if I can make it another week without you guys!

    Seriously, feel better soon, Paul! And I'll be waiting with bated breath for next week's episode. This podcast is one of the few things that keeps me sane. Well, somewhat sane. :-)

  • Post by LearningWebStandards on February 14, 2007 10:51 PM

    In the beginning, there was.....

    BoagWorld

    And then, there came forth.....

    MarcusWorld

    Keep this up guys and we'll have a great Web Design galaxy very soon :)

    You are sooo lazy!!

  • Post by Mark on February 17, 2007 8:45 AM

    I think Marcus is correct he should take over :)

    lol you utter utter b****** :) Had me going there... DOH!

    Looking forward to next week...

    PS... do you outsource design work? (Touting for business as I'm looking to drop the day job and step out on my own full time... eek!)

    Ugh...

    First time commenting on site... But I have stalked you guys from the shadows for over a year!

    Good thing the show goes on....

  • Post by Eric Gauvin on March 3, 2007 12:00 AM

    Been away for a while, so I'm catching up. What happened to the nice illustration you used to have? That was one of the best parts of your site.
