Site Update
|Hello!
Since we often get questioned about whether or not we have taken up postings on Mars it seemed like I should write a short update.
Any of you with small kids or jobs know that life moves exceedingly fast. As I typed that sentence my kids grew 7 inches in height and one of them now has a job. Also, it has been 6 months or something ridiculous since we recorded. And then it was 6 months or something absurd since we recorded before that. Yeesh.
Good news is that we are aiming to make more time for this soon since our life situations will allow it (I am no longer on the run from spies and Jeff has ended his experiments with trans-dimensional travel). The reason this is good news is that we suffer distressingly painful Microphonological Withdrawal when we don’t talk at each other and record it to share with like-minded humans.
Essentially, we haven’t given up on this project (says every final update to every dead blog) and do intend to continue it. We will likely return with reduced frequency (monthly?), but hopefully be more consistent.
In our absence the podcast has surprisingly grown in listeners, which is nice to see, but also means I may need to move the audio hosting at some point. I’ll post further details about this when it happens.
In the meantime, thanks for listening and sticking around with us while we figure out how to get the Infinite Podcast Engine running smoothly again.
Your Insomnia Cure,
James (and Jeff).
I’ve listened to the existing podcasts 3 times through. Such good content. More please!
I’m impressed, Marques – not sure I even listened to them that many times producing them! We get such nice feedback from everyone, but are still trying to get together to record a few. Really happy to hear you’ve enjoyed them so much!
This is good to hear. I haven’t found another Lego podcast of this caliber. Eagerly waiting your guys’ return.
I’m listening to an All Sorted episode as I type this and look forward to more content at some point. As a father of an almost two year old I understand the absense.
If you decide to set up a Patreon for All Sorted, please let us know.
Thanks Daniel – we have some episodes brewing, hopefully more to follow!
An interesting topic you could form an episode around would be how you balance being an AFOL (I hate that acronym but I guess it’s all we’ve got) and being a parent.
I am currently stockpiling new sets as well parting out my old childhood sets (my mother, god bless her, kept EVERYTHING including a killer 12v train collection). My greatest fear, especially regarding some of the rarer sets, is being a total asshole and not letting him play with them naturally.
I have admitted to myself since my wife pointed it out that I am buying Lego for myself, but how do I balance “Daddy’s Lego” with his Lego, even though I want it to be played with but some older rare pieces are expensive to replace.
That’s a good topic that we’ve probably talked around but not approached directly. Would be good to discuss this more!
Also, lucky you with the trains!
I am thrilled to hear this update! I’ve started re-listening to episodes because I enjoy them so much. Listening to you guys and building with Lego has been a great way for me to relax from the demands of a stressful job and parenting three kids. I can’t wait to hear more. I’ll keep telling friends about the podcast too.
Appreciate the recommendations, and we’re really glad to hear how we fit into your life – that’s exactly the effect we hope to have on people (a little brick oasis).
