Damn.
There go’s my goal in life, showing up on Mikes doorstep, 6-pack in hand on some random Saturday afternoon.
But I wont believe Winging It’s really dead, I’m an optimist- I’m still subscribed to pod holes!

even though i hate that you ended it, i’ve listened to the live feed a few times, and i can kinda understand.it is a pain in the ass to try to get it to record at a decent volume and to make it sound good without having to get numerous mics to work, and set the levels on a mixer. thanks for the episode, and now i need a new addiction… anyone got some crack, pot or good beer.

good beer in oklahoma is hard to find, my friends drink coors lite, please help. maybee i’ll start a podcast and blatenly beg for money like mike….

>>> Provide him with 10 techno serfs to do the grunt work

LOL…..Well I know he has at least one! How else would I have wound up editing B5 and KAMN?

You couldn’t bring back the Wine and Wingin’ It?

I actually sent them a wine and cheese basket when i first started listening. I think i saw it on ebay the following day

This kinda sucks the dillson. Wingin’ It was one of the podcasts that inspired me to start podcasting (along with everyone else on the planet). It’s been fun boys and girls. Thanks for the content, and for the beer.

Big And Tasty: if you and the others are willing Mike’s Hot Dish and The GeekSpin would love to continue the rap battles. Please start sending them our way. They would make for great content for our shows. (esp The GeekSpin)

Mike,
Deal! I ever win a massive Powerball, I’m so going to be the FPM Patron (or SugarDaddy, whichever)

I have to say that WI3d was the high point of my podcast listening week. I looked forward to it every week and helped get through some long boring days. I will certainly miss the fun that was produced.

I also think that the lollipop of doom girl and her sultry side kick could do a pretty darn fun poscast on their own!

Well, I appreciate all that was done to have the show on the air while it lasted.

Chris…
You win me the $100 million lottery and I’ll do Wingin’ It! till I die.

Quittin’ cold turkey? A wind-down would have been nice, but I can understand why you’re doing it. Still, are two long ass frat parties a year to much to ask for? For Mike to continue doing this we need to do several things:
Have him win a $100 million dollar lottery
Make him a time lord
Give him a mutant healing factor
Provide him with 10 techno serfs to do the grunt work

Bring some Youtube Winginit tho, an occasional dose will do us good.

Mike and all. Get some rest, and if you need anything at all you know our number. Liked the show a great deal but also know the toll it had be taking on you all. Was a tough decision, but I think you made a good call here.

For everyone else, this is just a end to one podcast guys. These guys are doing all the other shows, plus a video podcast. So they are keeping busy. lets all still support them. And don’t give them grief over this.

I’m saddened, if not entirely suprised. I’m listening to the explanation-cast now.

I am very sad to see this all go. Though I don’t drink, it was entertaining to hear the drunks. Though I am a virgin, it was entertaining to hear all the innuendo and experiences. No, really. This show has been the only thing keeping me going week to week. Since the writer’s strike, my favorite shows aren’t back yet; I work 40 hours a week; I have no woman; I don’t interact with my friends outside of work. This show (particularly the live feed) was literally my only connection to the real world.

I am wondering, though. Now that Wingin’ It is dying off, will there be more appearances of listener produced material on the Slice of Sci-fi Show (if it’s geeky enough). I ask because I really am trying to produce a rap in response to Computer King and Lil Meg. I’m just making sure that once it’s made, it will actually have a venue through your shows.

Thanks for all the laughter and insults (sometimes I need put in my place).

And now, for a bit of levity. Odd that this announcement comes after an episode the welcomes Ted McGinley. I guess he really *is* a showkiller.

But seriously, I was kinda late to the Wingin’ it party, but I enjoyed every minute of it. thanks for all the laughs!

Thanks for the fun, thanks for the ride, and thanks for helping me launch my own little indulgence of a show. The WeIrd beast is finally slouching toward to Bethlehem, and I say godspeed.

Oh, and if the Magic Fridge needs a new home, I think I can be of service…

Dragon Page Live Fire was the Live Dragon Page show we did on KFYI 550AM Talk Radio here in Phoenix. During that show, we began Slice of Scifi for the Save Enterprise Campaign. At some time during this, we began podcasting. I know that the first ever podcast episode (True podcasting with a feed and such) happened for Dragon Page (Before we called it Cover 2 Cover) Oct, 2004. Soon after that, We started doing Dragon Page Between. This was the show that started Wingin’ It!. First episode Jan 2005.
I am going to dig out all these shows and send them out on the WI feed. There is a lot of cool stuff no one has ever heard.

Damn, dude. I’m gonna miss this. Much as I like Slice and Cover to Cover, there’s something about the entirely random hilarity that always appears in a WI episode that just makes me grin ruefully and wish I could visit you guys. I guess I’ll just have to make a guest appearance on Slice when I finally get to Phoenix.

Question, will the Farpoint Fest repeat itself next year round?
