4OTC Indefinite Hiatus
Chris Fane | 9:16 am | April 23, 2008 | News
Hi everyone,
It’s with regret that I inform you that 4OTC in on an indefinite hiatus. Well, the hiatus is definite… the length of time is indefinite.
This was our first stab at running our own podcast and as first attempts go, I think we did alright. But, there’s lots of room for improvement and if we ever did come back, we would only do so if we could do things better (better content, better format, quick posting of content, etc.)
We’ve begged and pleaded for feedback and comments since day one, but really, aside from 5 or 6 cool listeners, there hasn’t been much dialogue back and forth and that’s really what we’ve been craving. We didn’t want this to be a one-sided conversation, but it’s kind of gone that way.
Anyway, I digress… the fact is that Lauren, Ian and I have had a blast and although 4OTC is being put on the back burner, we really do appreciate that you’ve joined us each week for our little show and wish you all the best!
Sincerely,
Chris

Oh man so not cool! I have learned alot from you guys and I have enjoyed listening to you all. I am really bummed. I hope that the “numbers” here as in Youth Ministry is not the ONLY sign of health, but you guys know that!
For of you have listened and have not gave some feedback, let the Couch Potatoes know that you appreciate them and maybe they will come back with a New Couch?
Really bummed- Kenn

For THOSE of you WHO,.. yeah that’s righy,..okay now go back to the top and continue reading with “have” -sorry for the interruption, now back to the comment.

I really hate to hear that you guys and gal are stopping. I have only been listening for a few weeks, but your cast is really, really great. Hope that you will come back soon for all us involved with Student Ministry.
Hope to hear from you SOON!!!!

First of all, thank you very much for the podcasts that were done. I did find them very useful and I will miss them. All the best in your future endeavors!
I do hope that at some point the podcast is restarted. Podcasts by their nature are not very interactive and I understand your desire for feedback. Perhaps you could start some sort of web dialogue forum for Youth Group Leaders to exchange idea’s and questions and then only do podcasts when there is some content generated in the forum that gives rise to issues you feel are worthy of a podcast? That might result in fewer podcasts, but better quality. Trying to do a weekly podcast may be too much.
Anyways, thanks again for the work to date - please know that it was appreciated.
Blessings,
Bill Morgan

Well that is a bummer. I have only been listening for the last month or two. I was really enjoying listening to you guys. You had good content and a great mix of fun and information. I am really appreciative of all the work you did on the pod cast and hope that you will come back again soon.
If you guys are not going to come back soon do you know of any other good youth ministry podcasts out there. I was so happy to find yours (after a lot of looking) it is really sad to see it go away.

Thanks for your feedback everyone! Maybe we’ll take another look at things at the end of the summer and see if it’s something that we’re able to pursue again…

Get a new couch, get back on the couch, the couch is lonely, Ian can you leave the Holy Spirit there all by Himself?
Seriously, we hope to hear you soon!
