A couple of my favourite podcasts are getting to around episode on hundred; yay for them! However, I thought this might be a good time to give them, and anyone else who does a podcast, a piece of advice. Do not ever do a 'past clips' show.

I'm not sure what the correct name for one of those is, so I'll explain what I mean. You know in Friends or Kenan and Kel (which is what made me think of this) when they have a whole episode devoted to the funniest moments they've had in their show and collaborated them all together in some funny way? Those.

Those are brilliant for TV shows since it's not likely that you actually own the box set and can watch all the episodes at your leisure, so when it comes on TV and can sit around and reminisce and force a laugh at "we were on a break!".

All good and well. However, podcasts are delivered over the Internet, an eternal storage medium where you can't really "lose" anything, but more relevantly, you can always find everything. There's no need to go and compile your old shows into one when the listener can just as easily click "previous podcasts" on your site and there they are!

If anyone does do this, it'll be an awful waste of bandwidth.
