Does anyone think it would be a worthwhile gesture to offer cd's containing all the shows for some nominal fee (to cover media+shipping)? My concern is two fold. Every now and then someone "finds" TLLTS and hits the archive page to download *all* the shows in one trip which, of course, boggs down my poor DSL for hours on end. Then other thing is the there are, I am sure, some people who would, I hope, like to listen to the show but are on dial-up and downloading 8+ meg archives is a daunting task.. Your thoughts?

Why the hell not. It's not like it will really cost us anything. If nobody wants it then so be it.

What do you have to lose? Might as well try and some people might appreciate the opportunity to listen to the show. As you mentioned, not everyone have the resourced for downloading their own copy.

Why not? Just post something about it on the website, and if somebody wants one then burn it to a cd. If not then you have lost nothing.

I was reading in this thread last week and thought "why would anyone want to buy a show CD when you can just stream it?"
A few other of my brain cells woke up. Yeah, if I had a MP3 player, I'd want a show CD to make a fast transfer and even edit down to the really cool stuff.

Then I hit some of your mirrors to stream pass shows.

Ok, how much for the CD?

Is $10 shipped USPS too expensive? I don't want to make any money off this other than covering the expenses of the media and the padded shipping envelope..
