Many of you are probably wondering why we have a lot of gray-ed out episodes off to the right. And frankly you are right to wonder. So, I feel it is high time I explained the situation to the fans via a friendly post :)
First: The original triumvirate had a few episodes that went missing in the confusion of skateboarding back and forth across campus, doing the show, racing back to stop recording, darting over to the COVE for their post-production pow-wow, and finally cutting and pasting the audio into the appropriate location to await final editing and postage. So there are a few scattered episodes throughout the early season that have sadly been lost in technical void between wires and mouse-clicks.
Second: The Lost Season of Lostitude (Season 5). This was the season after CJ and myself graduated. Matthew record all (or most) of their episodes and kept them safely on the the KDUP computer in the studio. Unfortunately, Jason and Matt for got to pull the episodes off the computer when Matthew was in the middle of graduating and the University, in all of its infinite wisdom, closed Matts account as soon as they passed him his Diploma and shook his hand. Jason and the guys in the studio have been working with the campus IT people to reclaim the episodes from the clutches of security firewalls and protocol, but my hopes have been gradually diminishing.
Third: The newest episodes. The guys in the studio now-a-days had a rocky start with their recording techniques. I blame myself partly, and CJ for the rest of it, since I started off the season recording their shows and posting them when they were finished. My stream however proved to be finicky and I stopped, so the guys had to record on their own, all of a sudden like and missed a few episodes. I do, however, currently have the episodes that have been recorded and am doing some tweaking to them in order to even out the peaks and valleys in the waveform and compress them to reasonable MP3 size. The only thing keeping me from finishing them is my computer...which has decided to choose NOW to start giving me trouble. I swear things start to breakdown as SOON as I need them to cooperate.
Anyways that is the scoop. If Jason, Steven and Kyle can't pull the 5th Season off the computer, we may be trying to sneak into KDUP to do some re-recording over spring break, but no promises yet. The new episodes will start getting posted tonight hopefully, but with my computer eating itself from the inside out, it may be slow going getting all of them up.
Thanks for your patience, and as SOON as we are caught up I will send word through the Facebook site, the Fan Page, and put a posting on the website.
