Just wanted to mention that Firefox does not get along with the podcast webpage for some reason. Last night and today I was able to listen to volume 16 after a few lockups of the browser. Tonight it won't work at all and locks up every time so I tried it with Internet Exploder and it works fine. So I guess I am good as long as I use IE when listening.

That's odd. I've been using Firefox exclusively when listening to the podcast.
Now that you mention it, MS Edge does not play Jody's subscription videos for me, and I've moved those to Firefox.

Whatever works, I suppose.

Well tonight it works just fine. Maybe just needed a reboot or something for one reason or another. It was crashing on the main link to the podcasts with a spinning circle as if it was choking on something on the page. I will use Firefox unless I have to use IE. I am still on Win7.

Until 2020 for me too.

I run chrome but listen to the podcast from my android phone on the drive to/from work so haven't tried streaming via the web browser. Downloading the mp3 to listen locally might help if it is a hiccup with the connection or server?

I learned how to weld at night, but not last night. (despite how my weld looks)

As far as I know, if you stream the podcast from our website it will use your data. You are better off to download each episode and listen that way if you do not have WiFi when listening. You can always download a given episode and delete it to make room for the next one so you don't fill up your phone.

I use beyondpod app, stitcher is another and there are probably a bunch of other podcast apps for android. The apps have settings where you choose how many episodes to download at a time, how many to keep and can be set to only download over wifi. If you have the app set to download only over wifi, then it would not use your phones data. If you download to your pc and then transfer the .mp3 to your phone via usb cable, also would not use data. I would suspect itunes has similar functionality. This assumes you have an internet connection and a computer.

...and everything old is new again. Who's old enough to remember waiting 'til the evening rates to make long-distance calls? Oh, and we had a party line, so if one of the neighbors was on the phone, you had to hang up and wait...

I have one of those Sony cameras that uses the 3.5" floppy disc. Was great until technology blew right past it. Still a nice keepsake. :lol:

Just wanted to let my fellow welders here know we posted a bonus episode. Roy and I did a quick Skyle call to Jody while he is at FABTECH 2016 to see what he is up to and who he has met. Roy and I really wish we could have been there but.... We do plan on recording a live episode next year though. Anyway, give the short talk a listen and let us know what you think.

I have a fresh comment on an early podcast...

"Weld Tests"

Here's a thought... If the equipment was rolled up when you began, it should be rolled up when you're done!

Fellow blew it today with a half-ass weld we "might" have worked with, and left all the shit out where he dropped it.

Housekeeping is a job skill, too.

Really liked the Q&A episode this week. Covered a wide range of topics and was well worth the listen. Keep them coming!

You won't want to miss episode 28, available 1/30/2017. We sat down with Nate Martin, a Diving/Welding Supervisor for a large Commercial Diving company, and talked about Underwater Welding. This is always a hot and controversial topic and it was very eye opening to actually talk to someone that been in this field most of his working career. You won't want to miss this one.

One of the four of you guys should do a quick supporting video on Chris's "pacman" description. I think that creates a great visual for people who are trying to learn on their own. Little things like that and Jonathon's way of explaining (paraphrasing) "to let the puddle melt the filler not the arc" seem very easy to digest for someone with little to no background in welding to get key concepts. Everyone wants to know how to set the machine when they are starting, but it's these technique that make the weld.

Keep em coming.

Got into some good stuff on the "mig" welding episode. Roy, thanks for asking the which knob question. I'm sure many people will benefit from delving into that.

Definitely look forward to another ramble about mig that spends a little more time in the advanced area.

You can also stream is off our website where you can pause it and fast forward as you like. I don't think it saves your place when you come back though. I do know that most of the podcast app carriers save your place and allow you to pick up where you left off when you come back.

I am using beyond pod https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... .beyondpod You can also adjust how much ffw and rev go in time. Definitely no problem pausing, returning and automatic downloads of subscriptions. You can configure so it only downloads when plugged in and on wifi, or stream episodes as it suits. I play through blueteeth in my truck and the steering wheel controls do what they should in the app.

I notice no one discusses the podcasts here.

Who is actually listening regularly? Just curious.
