This is your 10... Make that 7, minute warning ladies and gentlemen!

Anybody else having buffering issues, or is my internet just dying?

JimD · January 20, 2013, 08:25:41 PM

Been listening for a bit - no buffering problems for me, just annoyed I missed so much of it!

JakeWorrell · January 20, 2013, 08:27:44 PM

There were loads of buffering issues at first but they have curtailed a fair bit now.

JimD · January 20, 2013, 08:50:06 PM

Hmm, just said they'd play "Fanfare" and all I can hear is silence?!

Didn't seem to work at all on my iPhone. Just said it had ended although I tuned in at 7.10. Also there was a link to a mobile version but that didn't work either

Hope it's put up as a downloadable podcast.

It will be up as a podcast but not sure when. I think Geoff said in chat it would be by the end of the week...but that seems a long time away.
The sound quality (apart from the stream being *terribly* choppy) was pretty awful so hopefully the podcast will be better.
The "jems" in the programme were, aside from Jem's banter, FFTCM and the "Esoteric Snowman". No actual "new" Frost* but good stuff none the less.
Very interesting to hear about the new album being a 120-minute "song" split into bits. The whole thing telling one story but each "half" standing alone...with a bit of a cliff-hanger at the end of Part One.
Can't wait.

That's because you can't play something that doesn't exist

But didn't I see some traffic on the Godfrey twitter feed (which I don't monitor) between him and one of the prog magazines about this non-existent piece of work in fact now edging closer to an official release? Or was that a masterful illusion of misdirection? ;-)

Code Select

I'd thought about that and whether that was a cunning plan, but the silence went well beyond how long that song might be (if it existed) so, well, there y'go. The rest was silence! The interview explained that the mag and the band liked the treatment of the song but an "estate" forbade its release?

From what I did hear of the show the sound quality was kinda scratchy but the content was great, so I'm looking forward to any possible podcast. But the internet broadcast was a dead cool idea (even though I couldn't get it to work on my Galaxy S3 but it was okay on my laptop) and I hope we can find out more about ProgDog transmissions from this board. I wonder if there were lots of listeners?
