Apologies for the delay in Episode 84 being posted. The main guy who posts the episodes to MTGCast, Chewie, is at GP Charleston and isn't available to post any episodes.

I'm not too thrilled with 'em. I would prefer there was an independant site or place you could post your podcasts. I could care less about standard/limited/modern formats getting all the air time.

I'm not too thrilled with 'em. Same here. I was a regular donator for a while, but when Tom stepped back and Chewie stepped in, things... changed. When the favorite quote of the primary host of your flag show is: "I don't really know and I certainly don't care", you should realize that something is wrong. I couldn't care less about the network right now.

It is a shame that they have difficulties posting shows in time. A clear weekly schedule would be awesome and if they had between two to three people to upload stuff it wouldnt be a problem i think. But is the problem with their service provider now? I mean are they actually unable to upload more stuff?

Grant - Yeah, it sucks about the event getting lost promotion from the show's late posting, sorry about that.
Regarding shows that get posted on a regular basis, it's Monday Night Magic and Limited Resources. That's it. MNM because it's the flagship show, and LR because it's the highest listened to.
The other shows are posted in order of appearing in the submission inbox, hence why you sometimes get 3 or 4 episodes of a show in a row.
The deal with Episode 84 and 85, as well as most other shows on the network, appears to have been a perfect storm scenario, from what I've gathered from conversations on Twitter.
1. MTGCast had hit it's monthly limits for uploading, or something of that nature.
2. Chewie attended GP Charleston, which backlogged a bunch of stuff.
3. Thanksgiving vacations.
Those are the realities of the situation, and I'm just as disenfranchised as you guys are with them.
Like I mentioned a few months prior, I am seriously considering a move over to libsyn in addition to submitting the shows to the network.

Maybe even torrents as a way to get the episode out?

I wish there was a way for us to create our own upload site. We could partner with a few other podcasts and posts them as well so that we aren't totally reliant on mtgcast.
