[20:22.30] - The most asked question, we'll start with that.
[20:25.02] And this is a question that is dear to my heart.
[20:27.74] Where are all the old podcast episodes?
[20:30.58] I actually emailed you about this when they disappeared.
[20:33.70] Where are they?
[20:34.82] - Are there some missing?
[20:36.66] - There are all of them missing.
[20:38.54] There are all of them missing.
[20:39.94] About from about a year ago onwards.
[20:42.74] - Yeah, we've been purging old episodes
[20:46.14] for a couple of years now.
[20:48.10] Typically what we do is once or twice a year we go in
[20:51.06] and purge everything over one year old.
[20:54.10] And the reason for that is twofold.
[20:55.90] First, we wanna be responsible.
[20:57.90] We don't want to have bad information out there.
[20:59.58] And there was some bad information.
[21:01.66] We've been doing the show for many years.
[21:02.94] So things that we've talked about in 2016, 2017,
[21:06.26] they not only might not apply to today, they might be wrong.
[21:09.30] And what was happening was,
[21:10.70] and this is the second part of that,
[21:11.74] we were getting a lot of complaints from people saying,
[21:13.50] "Hey, I listened to your show episode 14," whatever,
[21:16.46] from 2017.
[21:18.34] I did the thing you said,
[21:19.66] and then two years later I listened to another show
[21:21.62] or I listened to the show from two years later after that.
[21:23.70] You said that you shouldn't do that anymore
[21:26.02] and basically you gave me bad advice, I'm mad.
[21:28.90] So what we found was easiest was,
[21:32.46] let's just prune old shows
[21:34.38] because a lot of people are,
[21:36.22] they're taking old advice, which is not bad advice.
[21:38.42] It might have been good advice at the time,
[21:39.54] but now it's bad advice.
[21:40.58] Now they're applying these techniques,
[21:41.98] which I shouldn't be applying.
[21:42.98] And we just want to be responsible and say,
[21:44.82] "Let's don't allow bad information to be out there
[21:46.78] because a lot of people are following old stuff
[21:50.14] thinking that it should still apply."
[21:51.98] Now I think most people listening to the show
[21:53.58] know that if you listen to a tech podcast
[21:55.66] from five or six years ago,
[21:57.14] you don't put faith in everything you hear,
[22:00.66] but a lot of people were doing that.
[22:02.02] So we pruned them and we will continue to prune them.
[22:05.06] So I think right now the oldest show is October of 2021.
[22:07.86] I would anticipate by spring,
[22:09.54] we will probably go in again
[22:11.14] and we basically prune everything over a year old.
[22:13.94] I realized people don't like that,
[22:15.82] but we felt like it was the right thing to do.
[22:18.42] - So I understand the reasoning and it still breaks my heart,
[22:21.78] but we'll go on to question number two.
Reasoning as to why they prune old shows
