Thank you for the kind words, Paul. I’m just an exact numbers kind of guy. :) We’re glad that you enjoyed the show.

As far as why it had to come to an end, we’ve been at this for more than 4 years now and if you keep doing the same thing in the same way without the ability to take it to the next level, you can only do the same thing for so long. The time came where evolution had to happen and, unfortunately, the form of evolution had to be the end of the show.

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi gang

I’ve only just listened to this, wow it was a big one. I have really enjoyed listening to your podcasts; yours was the only web related podcast I listened to every show – the others I pick out episodes depending on whether they sound interesting.

I always thought your podcasts sounded professionally produced and now I have “met” your audio editing guys and heard a little of what they got up to, I know why. It makes a great difference being able to hear all parties clearly. The editing was great – you always got the balance of serious stuff and banter just right.

I didn’t know there were any easter eggs! Shucks, I used to hit “NEXT” when I had heard you guys sign off.

One thing you didn’t explain, unless I missed it, why are you stopping?

It made my car journeys way more interesting.

So thank you – all of you – who were part of the Sitepoint Podcast. It has genuinely informed and entertained me over the years.

Boy I’m gonna miss Patrick quoting browser figures to 2 decimal places and all the other guys taking the mickey because he hasn’t got a smartphone. And yeah, I would have spelt Segraves wrong. ;-)

Cheers

My Fridays will never be the same. I looked forward to hearing you every week and getting regular updates in the web industry. As a front-end developer, I don’t take the time to read news as I should and you were my main source. If I find a replacement, they won’t be the same.

Thank you for all the years of news and entertainment, you will be missed!

Thank you for the kind words, Caro. It means a lot. That is an interesting idea, but I don’t think it is something that we’d want to pursue. Who would pay? Heh. :) Thanks again.

Will really miss your podcast as well, as a geeky marketer, not a programmer neither a designer full time, but one who needs ( and likes) to keep abreast of tech web trends. Great job!!!!!
May be if you charge for the podcast you can start it up again?

It’s my first time listening to your podcast and it’s very sad to know it ended. I’ll try to hear older episodes.
Greetings from Brazil.

Hahaha. Had me going for a second there, Mr. Evans. Yeah, talking to Carl and Karn was great. I was really happy to be able to chat with them. Thanks for missing us.

“I’ve been listening since the very first episode and haven’t missed a single one of them.” Wow! That is awesome. Thanks so much, Martin. :) We appreciate your long term support of the show.

Thank goodness. I listen to so many podcasts that I’m way behind. Now I have an extra hour free ;-)

Actually this is the last one I’d wish to see go. It was really nice to hear from Carl and Karn* in this one as well. Gonna miss you guys.

Thank you for the interesting comment and kind words, Mr. Ball. Glad that you enjoyed the show and appreciated our mixed experiences! We’ll continue to try to reach people in other ways, as you suggested.
