Alas, I feel this is the end of an era. In retrospect I feel the show has been limping along since Jeremy left. The chemistry with any of the guest-hosts just hasn’t been there any more, plus on a weekly basis Chris has been loosing faith in the game (which I really don’t blame him for as PWE’s STO is not the STO I first bought and loved). 

I may give STOked Radio a shot but I almost feel that dubbing the name STOked on it is actually a lie to the core of what the new product is as the quality of production will drop (as I know nobody who can edit podcasts like Chris), the show will be hosted by a different presenter and it sounds like that eventually it may not even be a JB production. I think that starting a brand new podcast entirely would be the way to go as the new version is likely to disappoint viewers who have come to expect a certain quality from JB, and you also won’t be under any pressure to perform to an existing audience’s expectations.

RIP STOked.

This morning when I heard this I was disappointed, I will admit. 

This is my go to show for my Tuesday mornings before work! Now I have nothing to watch!.. BUT

I, in no way, blame Chris, he is just being a responsible adult. We should applaud him for taking care of his family first before having his fun with the show. Too many parents out there are selfish.

Mav, I wish you luck with this new endevor, and I may not have been on board this morning for the idea of an audio show.. but I refuse to “poopoo” it until I’ve heard it! Who knows, maybe it will be even better!?

I am happy it isn’t completely gone!

STOked —–> STOked : The Animated Series —–> STOked : The Motion Picture?

I watch live broadcasts on TWiT every day and the download version differs very little from the live version.  Trey Radcliffe, one of the best known photographers on Google+, does a weekly Google Hangout with photographers that is taken directly, unedited and is released on TWiT’s feeds.

When there are Christian evangelists running Google Hangout shows, I think you can be pretty certain that the required intelligence to operate the technology is not that challenging.

If you had read my post, you would have seen that I am suggesting a no-cost, no-editing option, preferably without your involvement at all.

Felicia Day, Veronica Belmont et al are producing a Book Club on Google Hangouts on a monthly basis.  The Hangout is broadcast live, which anyone can do, and is recorded and posted directly to YouTube.

I am sure I am not telling you anything that you do not know, but there are no-cost, no-editing options available.  Only a little imagination is required and a decent host.

no, not all agree with you.  Understand this when they did the recording they were spot on.  So far starbases are vaporware.  And based on past performance of Cryptic.  Loyal fans support the show, they dont stomp their feet like your post shows and support.  Not whine and threaten as you have done.  Like it or not, STok’d nail Cryptic and actually honestly reported some truth.  It was about time someone did that.  THAT I give them kudo’s for as they are the first to actually stop being fanboi and actually do the job of a proper reporting as still sets the standard to follow.

I have no idea what people’s problem is, Mav, honestly! You’re fine, if you decided to host a show I’d be more than happy to listen to it.

Mav has gotten an unfair rap here, Chris is very dominant in the casts and it’s to Mav’s credit that he’s patient enough to not talk over his friend.

Thanks for all you’ve done.

This is the show that got me hooked to JB. I’ve watched every episode every week since then. I even donated for a long as I could but I’ve been going to college and couldn’t afford it anymore. …sad

First I’d like to say thank you for everything this show has done for the STO community thus far.  Second I’m baffled at some of the feedback that’s being posted.  People are “surprised” why this show is ending.  Chris made it very clear it was a business decision as has had to practically beg for any kind of support financially. You people complaining below have no right to if you weren’t helping Chris and the JB crew by supporting them financially.  To the people who have threatened to drop their financial support because of the change of format, shouldn’t you at least give it it a shot.  I’d hate to see something that could potentially be a great show fail before it left the gate.  I will, as I always have continue to support these people financially because it’s what I can do.  I’m not sure most people realize what goes into a production of this quality and regularity as it’s truly a full time job and we the viewers are the only way they make money. 

I’ve been watching for years and making posts for people to support this show with their wallets but alas my fears have come to reality.  I’m truly going to miss my weekly STOked and look forward to hearing what the radio show has to offer.  Thanks to every person who has made this show possible and hey, there’s always reruns !

P.S. – I’ll see you Saturday in the JBlive chat room!

What a sad sad day, but All Good Things. Mav is good but he’s no Chris Fisher, although he is 100 times better at presenting than the other STO podcasts. STOked was much more enjoyable than play STO most of the time. Good luck to all.

Sorry, but you don’t speak for me, or the “large amount of people” who are fans of the show.

While the show did change when J-Man left, this is not only economic realities for the host, but the lackluster development of the game itself. You don’t throw good money after bad, and I’m surprised the plug wasn’t pulled on the show sooner.

I don’t expect there to be “other” guests (besides devs); since the JF started this podcast, it only makes sense that they were helping produce it. And for an “amateur” production, I think this was pretty damn professional.

There’s quite a few “radio” podcasts I subscribe to, and if the JF team can put together a well-done show, then they should be able to build up a pretty good subscriber base, esp. if it gets some added spice with video clips.

Haters be hatin’…maybe now all the whiny complainers will leave, and some new whiny complainers can be recruited, along with some new fans.

Yeah, it is funny you should say that ‘we will return to video format when the game picks up” yet you are dropping video right as Season 6 comes out. That just doesn’t add-up Chris. Ironically, I think you could spin for PWE. After STOked 124 it was presented like this was a principled move in response to some ‘inside knowledge” Now, all of that is being downplayed, presumably to try and make the transition seem exciting and get people to tune in. 

Honestly, if the issue was funding as Lore says, why not due a fund drive? Say, unless we raise “x” we are going off the air? 

I obviously don’t have a ‘right’ to STOked but I think its a little bit annoying that there is less than full candor about the reasons for the cancellation. 

In the words of Edmund Blackadder, “You twist and turn, like a twisty, turny thing….”

 Business can’t be that bad if he’s starting new shows (TORked, Unfiltered).  He’s just using the excuse of $ to mask it.  Need more time to do contract work.  Yeah right!  He’s pissed about the game and is doing another stunt like he did 2-4 months ago with going on Hiatus.  We don’t see TORked turning off to spend more time with his family, and that shows only a few months old.  Just leave already, sub canceled, Chrome extension un-installed.  No longer support Jupiter broadcasting!
