I am frustrated.

Perhaps the bumper music is slightly clearer, but Ian still sounds like Ian, Mark still sounds like Mark, and Stephanie still deep-throats the mic on Sunday, only now it takes twice as long to download and there is no added value...just added inconvenience.

Perhaps I'm the only person who feels this way, but I don't listen to Free Talk Live because Mark's dulcet tones make my buns tingle - did anyone actually have a problem with the sound quality of the MP3 archives prior to the latest change?

I suspect that most listeners would not be able to detect a difference between 48-kbps and 96-kbps files of the same content.

It is my opinion that only an audiophile-wannabe is going to complain about a 48-kbps bit-rate talk show.

High bitrate talk makes no f'ing sense. This is not stereophonic music. This is talk.

Due to a fun little quirk with my ISP, the connection tends to get dropped when a download hits around 50MB.

I just checked; the latest .mp3 is 109MB & I am not even going to waste my time trying to download it.

It looks like I have little choice but to drop FTL.

(EDIT: Fixed my terrible grammar...I was frustrated and didn't proofread)

No one has conjectured that I could quite possibly be a Libertarian posing as an Anarchist trying to pretend to still be a Libertarian; or what I like to call an Anarcho-Hustler.

We'll cut it to 64k.  Good compromise?

It is done as of tonight's show.

By the way, for those who just can't wait, we still offer the "dialup" podcast: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ftlradioLQ

Mark, Ian,

You rock

I'm far more productive with FTL in my ears at work. My employer (the military industrial complex) thanks you.
