Also it would be a nice place to start/talk about "Operation Get-OTH-A-2-Hour-Slot-On-WBAI", I think after raising over $11k the other week the crew deserve another hour.

ouch that means i lose my hour nap between the show and me going to work. lol. i already lose sleep for work to listen to the show. but i'd still lose the sleep and listen to another hour if it ever moved to a 2 hour show.

I like the idea of a 2 hour show.  But just like when it was suggested on one of the last shows, Emannuel said he could barely do the 2 hours a week.  I personally think 1 hour or 2 hours shouldn't stress them/him that much. For me the hardest part is getting to work not staying an extra hour. But its up to them.

i heard him mention that on the last OTW, not OTH, it was only last year Emannuel was saying he wanted a 2 hour off the hook and he's pretty much being saying that since the show started, i'm up to 2003 in the archives so far and I've heard the complaint that the shows only an hour long hundreds of times.

Emannuel, give us some indication here, do you want us to try and push for a 2 hour OTH or not?

If you do then I'll start sending emails and get the ball rolling, i think now is a good time to strike since you raised $11K  the other week.

give OTH 2 hours!!!

I listen to the podcast anyway.  I did, for the very first time, try to listen through my radio to Off the wall and i couldn't get a signal.  So i tried streaming it and the stream kept going out so i gave up. So 1 hour or 5 hours i will eventually get around to hearing it.

one good thing that would come from a 2 hour OTH, is more time for taking calls. anyone who has something to say, longer than 30 seconds, really just doesn't have the option. it doesn't help that half the calls picked up are either a dial tone or it's rebel. a 2 hour show would be awesome as long as it doesn't kill anymore sleep before work for me, as stated above. lol.

OTW is not the show looking to go to 2 hours though, OTH is.

It doesn't matter to me i'll still just listen to the podcast

I used to be able to listen to both of them live, with no problems.  Now, I can only get OTH, and even that I have to catch on my IPOD being I'm always on the run from the feds.

I live in Brooklyn, NY The only radio I have is in my Rio :) I'll try listening on the "radio" to OTH tonight. If not, and i remember, I'll try streaming it. Its just too much trouble anyway.

I love podcasts. I know radio people don't agree but i want to listen when i want to listen not when you/they tell me too.  I also have two tivos so i can watch tv when i want to too :)

Thanks Bunni I'll try it tonight.  And why don't you just sleep an extra hour and listen to the podcast later or the next day.

FYI Juintz screwed up the ID4 Tag for last night OTH, he has it labeled as Off the Wall February 28 2007 instead of Off the Hook.

actually he didn't. the date is the day it goes up as "news" so since OTW was done on the 27th it's put up on the 28th. like now it says the new OTH with the date of march 1st. it's the date it's put on the page, not the date it was recorded.
