Post subject:  Podcast feed has gone to shit
I was pretty much out on Bernstein and Goff shortly after it began*, but they're not helping matters by how they produce the podcast feed lately.

You can see the timestamps of when they're uploaded here (https://api.radio.com/v2/podcast/rss/79 ... t=MP3_128K), used to be they'd come out hourly shortly after the hour concluded. Now hour 1 doesn't get uploaded until 5:30 at the earliest. I'm not jonesing to listen to anything that much later after it being live, and this is typically after the commute aka podcast o'clock. And worse, how am I to know "it's on!" before it's actually on?!?!

Additionally, it doesn't look like they participate in the '670 The Score Interviews' feed, which is how I consume most WSCR (as typically guests >> hosts >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> callers). So, for example, I don't have to download a whole Mully&Hanley Hour to get 10 minutes of Peter Gammons. But I have to skip through Goff's countless vocal tics, yeahyeahyeah (once you hear them, you can't un-hear them) to get to their guest. Though Goff sucks with guests anyway*, maybe even guests are no longer worth listening to.

Hope management (WSCR management, not management the poster) sees this and they at least care enough to give the show a chance to succeed with picky on-demand listeners like myself. The morning show and Spiegel and Parkins seem to get theirs up in a more timely manner, and perhaps not as a coincidence I listen to them more.

* As for why the show sucks in general, this thread(viewtopic.php?f=24&t=105532) was pretty spot-on. And I'm a huge NBA fan...who'd rather listen to an NBA Podcast than hear a former CBA announcer and failed Bulls reporter provide analysis like "this guy is the guy, not just a guy"

Mitch Rosen should be given the wicker man treatment for how shitty 670 has become.

Yeah, I was surprised to see someone admit to listening or at least trying to listen.

On-demand listeners aren't picky in the world of podcasting now. Blame the Score for not hiring interns anymore.

Podcasts have terrible functionality. And half the time they don't play. It's too bad.

670's online functionality has always been embarrassingly bad.
