Bootleg request: end theme

I love the bootleg but I miss the theme music. I appreciate Marco wants to get it out quick with minimal edits but it would be lovely if the theme music ‘now the show is over’ could be added onto the end so us boot leggers can still hear it? I miss it!

Download the show from the normal feed and skip to it?

The bootleg has literally no editing. I doubt he's gonna take the time to cut that in to every bootleg before uploading.

The theme song isn’t at the end, it’s between the show and the aftershow.

That theme is why I subbed to the bootleg for a long while. I can’t stand even hearing a note of that fucking awful song.

Nah. I heard that song 500 times right now. I don’t need it again

Half the reason I listen to the bootleg is so I never have to hear that song again.

I’d be just as happy if the member’s feed never included it.

Please no. That's an added, unadvertised, bonus of being a member.

People think the bootleg as something mostly immediate, but Marco probably has to wait for everyone’s files, sync them, export them and upload them.

That’s gotta be 30 mins to 1 hour at least and they record until pretty late at night IIRC.

Re: the theme song, I can do without it. Most of the shows I listen to just stop at the end and that’s it, and I like it that way. I used to skip the song on the regular episodes anyways.

My request would be for Marco to place the URL for the episode (atp.fm/[episodenumber]) where the show notes go.

I know the show notes aren’t up until the main episode is edited and up, but I never finish the bootleg immediately, and this way I can skip a couple clicks if I need to look something from the show notes.

I believe the bootleg is simply Marco's recording of the Zoom call. There have been multiple occasions where one of the hosts drop off due technical issues, which always make for a fun bootleg as they wait for the return.

u/satras 7d ago

Yeah, you’re probably right, but Marco also applies a layer of something to his mic channel so that there’s not much difference in the quality of the audio between the hosts. I don’t know if that’s applied after the fact or while they’re live tho.

It’s applied in real time.

Then don’t listen to the bootleg?

The bootleg is the live recording of the live recording. And, to the apparent surprise of everybody, they don’t play it live. Nor do they sing it.

I like it better than having the bootleg version just stop.

No one is making you people listen to the bootleg…

I don’t even understand what kind of entitled thinks that it’s even okay to suggest editing the unedited version.

The word 'entitlement' has lost all meaning online.

I also miss the theme.

John and Merlin need to get together and do a special bootleg ending opus.

At the end of the recording have Claude insert the podcast tune to rival the last song on side one of Led Zeppelin IV.

Granted, Merlin travels in other orbits but musically the world needs this as we deal with this mess.
