Last Ever Joypod...

So, if you've been on BXB today then no doubt you've seen that Joypod 9 is our last ever Joypod. And if you've downloaded it then you'll know why.

Basically, there's another Joypod. It's about gaming and has someone called Michael in it. When we discovered this we get a little bit freaked out but some stuff suddenly started to make sence. I'd been getting these really odd e-mails which you can see below:

Hi Elmo,

Hope all is well. I can't believe the next show is going to be the last Joypod. I would just like to congratulate you on one of the finest gaming podcasts out there. Listening to the final show is going to be very hard for me and will be like watching the final episode of 'Keeping up appearances' in which IMO didn't feel like it was the right time to end such a timeless classic. The episode where a bee commits suicide during a recording will be a memory that will live on in my memory forever. Never will future encounters with bees be the same again, ever. You came from no where yet have achieved so much with this podcast and for that you must be so proud. So I wish you luck in the future and hope that you one day are lucky enough to get the break you deserve making a living from Joypod.

Will you ever return?

regards,

Adam Capone

And:

Hi guys,

Just listened to Joypod 4! Fantastic stuff, laugh out loud funny!! The best
gaming podcast around, without a doubt.

Elmo, see you online later (you slag)

love

And finally:

Hey guys!

Just listened to the podcast today. What the hell was going on? Why did you put that version of my song on at the end? I really don't appreciate that at all!

Anyways, great guns from bath. Had a wicked time. Shame Michael couldn't make it due to being skint/shit at riding bikes, but ho hum.

The advert midway through for stan's t-shirts though. LOLLAGE! Michael. I always knew you were a massive geek too! 70% Geek!!! LOLED STICKS! Will be crashing your pods like mad when you come down to London for jolly ups.

Take it easy

CJ.

To be honest, I thought they were either coming to the wrong address, or just really elaborate spam and just decided to ignore them except for the one from Sladie which I thought was genuine and replied!

So, while preparing to do Podcast 9 the other night we were messing around on Google and happened to stumble across this page: Michael and Elmo's Podcast further investigation led us to another forum, where the "other joypod" people were discussing our Podcast.

The madness starts here on www.rllmukforum.com at post 469.

If you read the thread from then on you'll see myself, Spike, Slicker and Hallben all turn up and start talking to Michael and Elmo about their Joypod and inviting the guys onto our show.

So, that's why there's no more Joypods. Because we're going to rename our podcasts because someone else got their first and it featured a whole bunch of very weird coincidences. Also, check out episode 4 of their Joypod, as they talk about the 'other Joypod' about 23 minutes in. Great stuff.

So, moving forward we'll be having a new name for the Podcast and we'll be inviting Michael and Elmo to join us and talk about gaming. For the time being, you can enjoy our last Joypod featuring dedicated discussion about UbiDays 2007 as well as a Q&A featuring Jade Raymond, the sexy Producer on Assassins Creed.
