This is an apology to many people. But first an explanation:

As some of you might know, I have been promising a Big Trouble in Little China podcast for some time. Two years to be exact. The trouble (no pun intended) is that the first time we tried to record it we had technical issues I believe. The second time was to fill in the blanks left by the first recording.

OK, skip a few months. After doing an Ubuntu install on my computer, a crash took the podcast with it while I was still editing it. So, I asked my friends to help again and they came through. So we again shook the pillars of heaven. And again, I left it and decided to edit it another day.

Oh, Lord, I am so sorry for having offended you. This show was taken from me in another crash. But there was a ray of hope. Both of my co-hosts had uploaded their segments and so all I had to do was redownload them and sync them up with my own. Only one file was marked as corrupted. And so the podcast remains incomplete. I am so sickened by my lax attitude and the repeated bad luck I’ve had with this particular film that no work has been done on the podcast for over a year at least. I was determined to find that last file. I emailed everyone who had a USB stick I had loaned them. I searched through every file in my NAS and home computer. To top it all off, Audacity finally crashed and took my end of the recording with it and that was it.

First to my fellow podcasters, Dane Scaysbrook and Jeff Tatarek, I offer my complete and unreserved apologies. You have tirelessly given your time, love of the film and complete support for the podcast. No person could ask any more of you in these regards. You absolutely gave it your all and I failed you both miserably. I will not hear anyone say anything bad of you in any regards. In my book, you are the kinds of friends that I would have at my back all the time. I will always laugh and remember all the good memories I have had with you in doing the BTILC podcast. They were and remain time well spent with comrades.

To my listeners, I also offer my apologies and a promise that this will never happen again. I spent a long time thinking up this podcast because it’s something I’m passionate about. I love films and I love 80′s films more than anything. So for you to remain subscribed to the podcast through my incredible drought is nothing short of amazing. I promise that from now on, I will only record when I’m ready and will release shows in a timely fashion. Anything else, and I’m going to shut this enterprise down.

With that said, I thank all of you for reading this and hope to have something for you in the near future.

Fare thee well, my friends, the spaceways beckon.
