ugh, i hate listening to the bombcast for an hour boared out of my mind and looking to see theres still 30 minutes left, cmon, can you guys cut it down just a bit? i get tired of sitting for an hour doing nothing, and if i try to do something my brain focuses on that, making me remember a thing you ssaid, or even hear it for that matter, please help! ahh!
AHH Its to BIG!
Do something whilst you listen to it. So instead of just sitting doing nothing whilst you listen to it, listening to it improves something else.
I listen to it when I'm on the train to University. It's about a 50minute ride, so it's something to listen to on the way there. If there's something you have to do every week which could be made better by listening to the podcast, listen to it then.
Or listen to it before bed for 20 minutes. Over the course of a week, you'll get through it, and then there'll be another one ready for you! Plus their soothing voices will put you into a state of sleepiness! Especially Brad's. I wish my voice was like his :(
"If you dont like listening to the Bombcast, you dont have to listen to the Bombcast, its plain and simple. =]Yeah; just because it's an hour and a half, doesn't mean you can't listen to it for an hour. And if you only listened to half, you'd get the same exact information as if it were only half as long to begin with. I think that makes sense.

If you are just listening to them they can get a bit boring after a while, but I tend to do something else while listening. I'm usually browsing the web. The other week I was listening to the bombcast, browsing the web, watching TV and reading a book at the same time.

Like 1UP Yours I am happier the higher the hour count goes. But only on certain podcasts, the good ones with funny informed people.
Bombcast must not be shorter. Just use FFWRD.
I like a lengthy bombcast. Like many others already have said, do something else while you are listening to it. I enjoy listening to it while working out, when I'm playing games that I've already played so much i really don't mind not having the sound on anymore while playing (N+ is a good example).
So yeah, in my opinion the length is good. Heck, i could even go for longer bombcasts.
I can only play Super Mario Galaxy while listening to podcasts. Shame because the musical score is pretty good, but if I have to hear that idiotic voiceover for Mario ever again, hooting and wooping to every fucking movement I'll kill the Wii, then kill someone with it's husk.
personally ive been annoyed that they have been getting shorter with the last 2 ones i like them being 2 hours long
And Brad's soothing tones are enough to turn a man.
... I mean, it'd be possible. It's not happened.
.. shut up.
I like the length of 1up Yours, which is traditionally more than two hours long. I love long podcasts, and when I download one that's less than an hour, I feel sort of short changed.

Damn you. I was skimming through this thread to see if anyone said it already. Damn you."
Anyhow, for the TC, I only find Bombcasts too long when they border on 2 hours, but the only ones that have, are the E3 Bombcasts. Even then, I'll always listen to the end, I love the Giantbomb crew.
