I have two guesses. I think she either no longer really cares, and is starting to make excuses as to why she's not there, or perhaps she was intimidated by Pete being on the after show and wanted to listen to see if they talked about her.
AutumnRain mentioned many of her shows haven't shown up in the archive?
I agree I don’t think she cares - at least not about her listeners, or the show in general. I think she is possibly very concerned about how she is perceived, but I don’t quite understand why she doesn’t realise that her actions have a lot to do with how she is actually perceived.
I think it was a very good thing for Keith and Michelle to have Pete on the aftershow. The more people who correlate their experiences with her the better I say.
Heard they changed the RSS feed to a more secure method where people have their own individual logins instead of a universal password to the RSS feed - it explains why I no longer get the freebies she was offering since she removed my subscription! I hasten to add I did nothing and looked for no way to abuse the subscription service, just the shows kept arriving into my podcast feed so I kept listening! It was always a bad idea to have a universal password for all her subscribers to use - and I think the change to a more secure system has caused a lot of her subscribers to have problems - whether down to them not knowing how to change their password or the change not being communicated I don’t know. The eps took a long time to arrive I have heard (maybe no more code ninjas?) but I think they are all there now.
