hey, i am a fan of your show and wondering if it is over or you both just making a bigger break?
would love to hear underreported news as long and often as they are underreported!
No it’s not over but mark had a very busy schedule recently so that we somehow didn’t manage to come up with a new show.
True true– what Tim said. Ive started a new program (today in fact!) and time is scarce. But we will be back and soon! As in.. ASAP! So… expect us :P
Did I miss a memo, I noticed it has been 3 months since the last show.
You both doing okay?
Well last comment answered it. What’s the new project you were talking about, Mark? Maybe a project including audio?
Yes hi Nykon.. yes a project involving audio absolutely. Details are almost ready but not quite ready. meantime Im working hard on source code berlin and we do expect to get to do Newz again ASAP.
