I lost my job yesterday, and thats where I listened to the show.
I worked in a shop by myself, for 90% of the day, and the Ron and Fez show kept me company for the past year and half.
I never, ever liked talk radio (i even have a useless broadcasting degree!) before I heard your show, but you turned me around.
I can't really afford to get my own subscribtion at the moment, so I just wanted to shoot a messageboard thanks to all the staff, the great call in fans, and most especially Mr Bennington. You all brightened up my year!
and thats the end of my show!
DONK!

I'm guessing there are ways around your predicament.
But remember, the board is great even if you never get to hear the show.
Youre a member in good standing here, I hope you stick around!

Sorry to hear of your predicament.
I have heard rumors that there are sites out there that have the show for download.

There's an ad that appears on Ronfez.net pages for a service called Paltalk. I hear that R&F fans get on there and talk about the show, so at least you would be kept up to date.
Nudge, nudge.

All the best in finding your next job quickly.
FWIW; when i miss a few shows, i sometimes just skim thru the "listening" and other threads to sorta keep up on things.

I love Ron and fez, I couldn't imagine not having the option to listen to them.
And really, what a terrible time to lose your job... right at Christmas. I can't imagine, that's absolutely horrible bro....at Christmas! Shit man, Christmas!

At least that's what happened to me what I was fired from my job as professional liar....I mean cartographer.

That sucks I got laid off yesterday. Maybe this saturday before 7:00am you could go to xmradio.com and then click listen online now. then when it asks for a password you could click on free trial. and then use a program such as Audacity to capture the audio to put onto an mp3 player or computer. Hope you can get a new job soon. Or collect some unemployment and do some side-work and get some sweet winter carniville cash.

I only have an online subscription. So I end up doing stuff like this and loading it onto my portable and listening to the same shows over and over again.
I wish they would do more than unmasked for this podcasting thing.

If he cant afford the 12 month for XM how is he going to afford Paltalk whatever that costs?

Dude,
I feel for you. I was one of the many that lost the buddies in NYC when they left for DC, I was devastated and it took me a year to realize my life did not have to void of RnF.
I found a way to download the show and I put all of the shows on my ipod, I was actually able to listen to more of the show than before, if I left the car or was interrupted, I hit pause and it was actually better than before. the only down side was I was a week or so behind, but for about 18 months I heard every minute at my convenience.
Don't be down, take the bull by the balls and keep RnF in your life you owe it to yourself!!
Good Luck

If you are able to keep your internet running, you probably have access to the newsgroups. This newsgroup has the previous days O and A and R and F shows everyday.

Here is a good site to teach you how the newsgroups work.

Brings up a great question. What's more important... finding a new job right away, or finding a way to afford the $8.00 a month to hear Mr. B's wisdom?
