Because two exclamation marks means you're super serial about it!!   
I'm going to be going through each show (ideally) and taking copious notes, as college has taught me.  The first show is going to be a bit rough due to divided time between audio editing and note taking.   
This is a fluid list.  Beta as it's likely to be known.  Things are going to be dynamic, pertaining to formatting and such, until I get a feel for how things turn out.

    Thats the plan.  Hopefully going to be doing 5 per week, or at least a few.  Yea, it's going to take a bit, but I've also been wanting to have a place where the podcast is detailed for a couple years now.  Like my momma said, if you want something done and done right, do it yourself.

    As caring/catering as that question may be, I can't help but feel like if I were Deaf, i wouldn't really care about podcasting. Now, if they did Close Captioning for the videos on the site, that'd be another story, but I don't see that happening on any other site yet either.

    @Kibblez: True, but I'll eventually break even one of these days.  Then they'll take back over, then I'll be even again . . . all a very futile game, but I get the dirt on'em ;)

    Excellent work. Also, one of my favourite bits of this podcast is Ryan's half-formed response to Jeff's enquiry about ketchup packets. Inadvertent comedy platinum!

    Plus, what better excuse could you have for yourself to listen to the arrowpointingdown/giantbombcast.
     
    I went through every single one of them last year, it took me two months, but at the time I was doing alot of achievement hunting, which means a needed background noise to concerntrate while you go on boring collectathons.
     
    The Bombsquad kept me particularly sane while I hunted down all the flying rats in GTA IV. And I appreciate that so much!
    Especially so when I got to the last pigeon on the guide and had 199, instead of 200.
    I breathed out so hard I almost shot my brain out of my nose. Man was I pissed. Like I say though, the Bombsquad chilled me out again to search backwards until I found it. I think I'd accidentally skipped no. 162 so it wasn't too bad.
     
    Wow! Way to go off on a tangent! ;-)
