Episode 34 Update
by Rich on Mar.13, 2010, under My Take Radio Show News
For those of you that have been following MTR on Twitter & Facebook, you know that Blog Talk Radio suffered some serious issues on Thursday night/early Friday which resulted in the loss of episode 34. Blog Talk Radio representatives confirmed that the show was lost, but surprisingly enough, some of it has been restored. You’ll be able to listen to about 1hr and 15minutes of the episode. Here is the statement from Blog Talk acknowledging the issue, as well as a response from me and the follow up email as well.
1st Email from BTR:
Hi there,
We are very sorry for any inconvenience. The site did experience technical issues during your show. Our technicians are working diligently to ensure this does not happen again. Thank you so much for your understanding. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
Regards,
–S
My Response:
S,
I am very upset at the fact that this happened. I went to great lengths to get these guests from the video game company THQ. Getting them back on will be very difficult. Not to mention that it makes my show look unprofessional. I am very displeased with the outcome. What steps can I take on my end to protect and/or back up my broadcasts going forward?

BTR 2nd Response:
S,
Again, we would like to apologize for this inconvenience. There was nothing you could do to prevent this, it was a technical malfunction that caused this issue. We know how hard hosts work to organize their shows and we are so sorry that this happened.
Again, while unfortunate, at least some of it has been recovered. I will at least need another day or two before uploading to iTunes in the event the full episode is recovered.

Topic Removal?
by Rich on Oct.09, 2009, under My Take Radio Show News
I have been doing some thinking and have decided that the wrestling segment maybe running it’s course . Before I removed it though I wanted to hear from the MTR listeners to see if the segment needs tweaking instead of termination. Please vote and help decide the fate of this topic
Upcoming changes
by Rich on Sep.18, 2009, under My Take Radio Show News
I have been listening to all your feedback as well as your suggestions and will be making some more changes over the next few weeks.Show 12 will have some new segments i’m working on. I am thinking of doing a roundtable discussion on a certain topic before the letter bag as well as a “My Take Segment” which will be my rant on a certain topic for the week. Thanks to Josh for those suggestions. As always everyone’s feedback is welcome.
