Is there anywhere we can see a list of the podcasts that are still in it?

I am sorry, the only way to see them all is by voting or skipping till you see them all. Every week the list get shorter so it is easier to see them
Christiana
Okay, that's what I thought, just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything. happy.gif

Actually it makes sense to have it the way it is, because that ensures the randomness which encourages people to listen to podcasts they may not have already heard. If you could see the list, people would probably just keep hitting "pass" until they got to the ones they already knew and never vote for anything else.

Actually, I'm finding lots of new, interesting-looking podcasts as I go through the voting. I can't say I'll ever get the chance to listen to them all, but I'm sure to check out a few.

Woo hoo! We're still in it!!!!!


And to think Carol said that me hiring that campaign staff was a waste of money.

HA!

Shelly
Hey, I'm still in for Round 5!

Thanks Pickle People. I love ya.
EdRoberts
Doh! I'm not in round 5.

... although, I don't think I made round 2 (only saw my show once during round 1 anyway)...
eban
Can we campaign?

If you keep me in to get to round 6, I promise to...

Oh hell, I got nothin blink.gif


The voting is getting rough.
Phil
Tell me about it, I just started voting on this round and already had to skip a few.

Great way to kill a few hours on a train though wink.gif
C-Dogg
I want to give BIG THANKS to everyone who has voted for my shows in the Podcast Wars. I have TWO shows in the top 100 and I am SUPER THANKFUL!!!

You guys all ROCK!!! biggrin.gif
P. Dilly
This turned out to be way more fun than I first thought it would be.

No doubt. It's like having to choose between your two children. My first Round 5 matchup is Podcast 411 and 5 Questions.

I think I'm voting for Greg and 5 Questions - I'm bitter Rob's never called me for an interview wink.gif
switched_on
I haven't been able to listen to the podcasts that I don't know, and I don't like hitting the 'skip' button.

Am I the only one that is voting for the ones I don't know, by deciding who's podcast pic could win in a deathmatch? biggrin.gif



Glad to see so many of the 138 in there... sad that I had to pick between a few of them during my voting time today. I guess our deadcast hasn't made it through previous rounds. I was hoping it was lingering around like the undead or something.
Shelly
I had been hitting Skip a lot up to this round, but the percentage of shows I know has gone up so much now that it isn't necessary. But I would rather skip than choose based on the picture.

I am intimidated by the GabberJaw teeth, however. I feel as if I might get biten if I don't click there. smile.gif

Best pairings I've seen today:
Soccer Girl v. SoccerGossip
PodDog v K9Cast
Bob & AJ v Mostly Tunes (it's the same guy!)

Podcast Outlaws in Round 5
Shelly's Podcast
Bitterest Pill
The Big Show
Podcast411
Jawbone

darylNcognito
I think that most of my favorites are in round five. Very cool. Even some of my secret favs are there.

Weirdest match Poddog vs Lowtech (on hiatus until Jan)

It was hard to vote.

Toughest decission Big Show vs Comedy 4 Cast

I had to let Kuma pick and he didn't tell me who he voted for.

Kevin C Mason
I Can't STOP!!! MUST CLICK MORE !

I love it when two podcasts I have never heard of pop up ... Ummm what to do what to do .... Must click to see who's next but I don't know who to pick .....gurrrrr. Yah this game has caused me to subscribe to 4 new podcasts just because I'm addicted to this Game..

Ok Back to clicking

How could I forget? The Pickle Show is also an Outlaw cast.

The worst is when your show comes up against a good friend's show. That's happened a couple of times.

I'm hooked on this as well... although during round 1 I must have spent hours doing it and never saw my cast come up once... although some others here mentioned seeing it.
P. Dilly
I saw it MRS B
C-Dogg
That is definitely the toughest part - when you see two shows that you absolutely love and have to pick one. I actually flip a coin and note the one that I haven't voted for in case it comes up in a similar situation so I can make sure to give it pass to the head of the class.

Am I the only one that keep stats so I can be fair to all my friends? hehe

I havne't had that problem wink.gif

Honestly, I'm not sure if I had a 'cast picture up in time to make Round 1.

Gary, the Deuling Pickles is a funny scenario.

Holy smokes, I just saw Sturgeon's Law in round 5! I'm astonished not to mention cheered. You like me, you really like me! Well, someone does at least. smile.gif

comedy4cast
I, too, am shocked to be in Round 5!

That's one heck of a list of Podcasts! Other New England Podcasting members are hanging in there, too, like 5 Questions, Mrs. B's Patriot World and Accident Hash!
jawboneradio
Wow! We made it to round 5! Thank you all for voting for us. biggrin.gif
eban
I am suprised a bit as well, I would have thought that RfL would be a dark horse to be in round 5. Big thanks to everyone for keeping us in! smile.gif
TheBigShow
I was floored to see The Big Show still in there. Thank you very much! It's getting hard to vote now. Choices like Borderline vs Keeme are impossible to make. That's like Video Ipod or Christie Brinkley, oh the choices!!
charleyw
Hey! We're in Round 5!!! I guess the neon billboard in Times Square WASN'T such a big waste of money, Carol.

This is a fantastic way of introducing people like me to new and interesting podcasts. I'm headed back there again now to listen to and vote for another.

Cool!! I had no idea I was still there.... woohoo and congrats to everyone that still is hanging in!

(And none of those votes comes from me since after literally hundreds and hundreds of clicks, I've never seen mine yet in any round! What are the odds of that?!)
El Nacho
round 5, the first 2 casts i see are 2 that i havent seen in all the first 4 rounds. and i thot i'd seen them all...
and shweet im still in!
Seuss
Oi vey!... Can no one be spared as a casualty of these podcast wars? It's like brother versus brother in the trenches.

OUCH!!!

I think I have found the toughest choice of all time! (well, at least for me it was)
I think both these guys are pretty cool...


I'm not saying which one I voted for. smile.gif

(just kidding... its a photoshop job - haha)
P. Dilly

Well, if it stays fun, that's cool...but I don't like to do "mean."
El Nacho
ye this is going to be a, who spends more thyme voting for their own cast type thing pretty soon
well no not everyone's totally conceited. i hope thats a good word to use. conceited. i actually dont know what it means, but it sounds right.

conceited.

hm...

well off to vote for my cast! haha laterz
P. Dilly
OK, guys we are starting Round 6 of podcast wars. There are only 50 podcasts left. We started with 1,800. Round 7 will be last round, so it is almost over.
eban
Wow, just wow! I just checked out round six and I have to thank everyone that laid a vote down for RfL. I in no way expected to be in through this round. Thanks again!

The voting is pretty tough now. Jeez, do you pick JVonD's Radio or Video? Just one of the interesting combinations that I just faced.
Random
Okay, I admit it, I voted and voted and voted and took notes until I saw all 50.

And so it is a teary farewell I bid the competitors as Sturgeon's Law didn't make it out of round 5. smile.gif

-R
P. Dilly

ponderplace
I think there should fire involved somehow in these podcast wars...give it a "ala survivor" feel. Maybe a bandanna or something...whatever
TheBigShow
To each of you that voted for The Big Show to get us this far, thank you sooooo much. Talk about being validated, it's an honor to be included with those 49 other shows. Many of them I subscribe to and one of them has been hugely influential on the show since the very beginning. Again from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Hopefully we'll make it to round 7 but if not, it was a great ride.
darylNcognito
Woo hoo, not only am I there, but there is a butt load of Canadians. And thanx to everone who voted for me. Now if I could quit obsessing I could put out a show.
