Hey, why does this happen? http://i.imgur.com/xUsuqGM.png Far as I recall, it only happens with Nerdy Show itself – not on FNF or the RPG shows, or any of the dozens of other casts I subscribe to. Three different media players on my phone misreport the run-time as 10+ hours, and I just downloaded the episode from Soundcloud to my PC, and get errors there too. VLC continually flits around, ranging from 1hr 20 to 1hr 40, but never decides. Windows Media Player seems to think it’s about 2hr 10.

It wouldn’t matter, except if I’m listening on my phone and pause or rewind, it often loses my place in the broken timeline, and is impossible to re-find, because it doesn’t scrub properly.

Is this show edited by someone specific? Problem with encoding somehow? It’s been going on for a while, I can deal, it just would be good to know what gives.

Good grief! Thanks for letting us know about this. I have no idea what might be causing it. This is the first I’m hearing about an error like this in a long time. How often does it happen?

Hm, I’m not actually sure. I listen to a ton of podcasts, I lose track…

I redownloaded a selection, and it looks like Ep 287 about Bill Nye might have been the previous broken one. That’s another datapoint, at least. I’ll keep my eyes open for future episodes.
