Trans 2006-01-31: “Aloha”
| Play |
There’s so much more we should have said, and yet we know we could never have said enough. “The Transmission” must end, but we hope you’ve enjoyed the ride at least half as much as we have. We’ll never be able to fully thank you for sharing your love of “Lost” with us, and for making our little show something truly remarkable. We look forward to joining you in the fantastic “Lost” fan community, and to tuning in to the “Lost Podcasting Network” for our fix of some true LostCasting talent. Mahalo a nui loa, and aloha.

BUMMMER!!! I just started lisening!
January 30th, 2006 at 10:39 pm
I can’t believe it. First a rerun and now THIS? Talk about a bad week. j/k Hey, Ryan and Jen, thank YOU for everything you did for LOST and for us. ABC should make you the official podcast! I know it must have been hard to do this, but good on you for quitting while your ahead. I hope everything’s okay, and that I’ll see you on the ‘Lage or hear you on some of the other podcasts soon. ALOHA! Everytime I hear it I think of you!
January 30th, 2006 at 10:50 pm
I was so excited to see a new show downloading, but as soon as I saw it was 8 minutes long I knew something was up. Bummed isn’t the half of it! I like your podcast almost as much as I like “Lost,” especially after last week, and it sucks that you’re giving up the show. For us at least…… and ABC, too!
You guys put together a great podcast, probably one of the best I listen to, and I have no idea how you did it with a “real job” and kids and who knows what else. Thanks for making “Lost” more than just another show. And hey if you change your minds, I’ll be listening!
January 30th, 2006 at 10:53 pm
Ouch… no more show?
damn… thank u so much for the great effort you guys put into the show.
i always look forward to listenning to your show each week.
January 30th, 2006 at 10:58 pm
say it isint so guys,LOST will never be the same for me and my girlfriend you two got us both more into the show,i just wish you would still do what you can when you can,you know what they say better late than never…
in any case thanks for your time and efforts just wish it wasent true….
January 30th, 2006 at 10:59 pm
Sorry to hear this. You guys did a great job. I’m sure you have good reasons for giving it up. I wish you the best.
January 30th, 2006 at 11:13 pm
We’re really going to miss your show. It was an excellent meeting place for so many fans. Of course, I’m happy to hear that you will be staying with us as LOST fans. If you go to any fan conventions, I hope you’ll consider Dragon*con in Atlanta this September. Javier Grillo-Marxuach was at the last one and it was a blast. It’s no wonder LOST is such a great show with such talented writers. The show seems to attract interesting fans as well and I hope to meet more of them in person this year.
January 31st, 2006 at 12:34 am
oh man… that was like the saddest thing ever. You guys were so cool and hospitable, besides making me like “Lost” more you made me want to visit Hawaii. and not even for the beautiful scenery but the beautiful vibe that you put out there.
Honestly, Lost isnt going to be the same without The Transmission.
Man… Kill off Charlie! don’t kill the Transmission!
take care,
Bobby
January 31st, 2006 at 12:44 am
Well What can I say…… Thank you for all your effort. I haven’t had to download illegally from the internet due to your great reporting and reviews of LOST…
I will no doubt have to use your links to find another pod cast…
Thank you for your professional attitude and love for lost. You will be sadly missed and I wish you all the best with your future….
本当に 俺は 悲しい！
January 31st, 2006 at 1:28 am
Sad…..but THANK YOU so much for all you did. You were the best and you will be missed.
January 31st, 2006 at 2:07 am
Muhalo Ryan and Jen.
This is worse news than when LOST was off for 6 weeks! Thanks for all your hard work in order to provide us with the best LOST podcast and definately the most comprehensive. It was a joy to listen to you each week and you will be sorely missed. Hopefully The Transmission will return sometime in the future.
I posted a thread about this at The Fuselage so that others can discuss this sad event:

Thanks once again and Aloha.
January 31st, 2006 at 2:10 am
I was so hoping your email was a sick urban legend….I am SO bummed. I look forward to your podcast almost as much as the actual show….you guys truly were (are) the best. You will be greatly missed…..Good luck to you both.
January 31st, 2006 at 2:21 am
Ryan & Jen,
So sad to see The Transmission end! I wanted to extend a big Mahalo nui loa to you both for all the work that you both have put into your podcast to make it enjoyable for all of us to listen to and to be a part of. I too looked forward to the actual show as well as your podcast! Once again, Mahalo nui loa from the east coast!
January 31st, 2006 at 2:24 am
I listened to every single podcast you had. It’s one of a few enjoyments I had with my ipod. Wish you good luck and hope you come back to do podcast probably on some other shared interest topic. All I can say for now is without the transmission podcast, Lost will not be the same.
Aloha and Mahalo nui loa
January 31st, 2006 at 2:40 am
I feel like my best friend is moving across the country. Good luck in all your endeavors. Mahalo nui loa.
January 31st, 2006 at 2:49 am
Ryan and Jen,
I just wanted to say that I am really going to miss hearing you guys on a weekly basis. Your Podcast is almost like an official extension of the show and you have my utmost gratitude for the wonderful show you guys turned out on a weekly basis. I have 3 kids myself so I can’t imagine how you managed such a busy life and a Podcast which truly sounded like a professional radio broadcast. Again Thank you for all you have done and good luck in all your future endeavors.
Aloha and Mahalo nui loa
January 31st, 2006 at 3:05 am
Ryan & Jen
Thank you and I will miss listening. The day after LOST the first thing I would do when I got into work was listen to you guys. You always did a great job!!!
thank you and good luck.
January 31st, 2006 at 3:07 am
Thank you Ryan and Jen for such a great Podcast. You will be missed. But like you said you have introduced us to other lost podcast, i guess now i’ll HAVE to give another one a try.
Thanks again and good luck with everything.
January 31st, 2006 at 3:32 am
“Dude!!”
I got turned on to your show (by a friend) just before Season 2 began. Since then I’ve been listening to each and every one of yours shows. I’ve also listened to 3 other Lost Podcasts and yours was/IS by far the very best one! I’m really sorry to hear your great Lost Podcast has come to an end. You both will be sorely missed!
January 31st, 2006 at 3:44 am
I just wanted to thank you guys for a terrific podcast over the last few months. Not ony have you encouraged other podcats but you`ve also pleased a hell of a lot of lost fans around the globe.
Thanks guys and namaste

January 31st, 2006 at 3:44 am
You will be missed!! Thanks for all that you did
January 31st, 2006 at 3:46 am
Ryan and Jen,
So sorry to hear that you’re ending your show. I’ve really enjoyed listening each week. Thanks to you I’ve found some other great podcasts to listen to. If you decide to do the show again, please put the word out on the other Podcast sites to let us know that you’re back.
Thanks for all the great shows and all the time that was put in to them.

January 31st, 2006 at 3:52 am
Ryan and Jen, I have listened to your podcast since the start of season 2 and I have to say that it increased my knowledge, enjoyment and understanding of Lost more than any other postcast or Lost site. You should both be very proud of the excellent quality of the podcast you put out. You will be missed, and I hope that everything is ok. Best of luck with everything in the future.
January 31st, 2006 at 4:01 am
Wow… I will definitely miss your podcasts… there will be an empty space in my iTunes now. You were definitely my favorite podcast, but I wish you both all the best. I refuse to unsubscribe to the podcast though, just in case you decide to return
Take care,
David
January 31st, 2006 at 4:09 am
Ryan and Jen,
Thank you so much for sharing your time with us. I started listening to your pod cast before this season and enjoyed it so much! For you to work so hard and put in all the time to get a podcast out, is truly amazing. I will miss your podcast, but I refuse to delete you from my iTunes podcast subscribe list, just in case you want to make a comeback. Again, thank you for all you have done. You will be missed!
Thanks Again,
Ryan
January 31st, 2006 at 4:09 am
Ryan and Jen,
Sorry to see you go I never gave any feed back, lostline or email. However the tv show was so much better with your pod cast arround. I must say THANKYOU! I really enjoyed all of the episodes. I got hooked on Lost at the end of season one then found your podcast and it really got me hooked on the community and MORE so on the series! I wish you guys and your family the best. You made Lost more then just a show for me. Well I guess all good things…
Mahalo,

P.S. Keep the website alive… You guys still have the “island” insider scoop *grin*
January 31st, 2006 at 4:13 am
Yo from Philly,
This is my life - I get thoroughly hooked on podcasts because of both of you - before listening to The Transmission I was a podcast virgin - and now you pull up stakes and hit the road leaving me in withdrawal worse than during the 6 week Xmas LOST hiatus.
Actually, good luck in the future guys, you will be sorely missed and I wish you all the best for the future.
John
January 31st, 2006 at 4:33 am
Very sad news indeed. Thank you for all your hard work and enthusiasm, it was a great project and I’m sure we’ll all look back on this time when Lost aired on TV and remember The Transmission podcast fondly.
Peace.
January 31st, 2006 at 4:34 am
Wow, I am shocked but I understand.
You two have done such a fantastic job in your podcast that it should be taken as a guide to pro podcasting. The job that you did on the Transmission was not only the best podcast out there, but was one of my favorite to listen to.
Good luck with your future and thanks for everything that you did.
January 31st, 2006 at 4:35 am
I can not tell you how sad I am right now. I am from Nova Scotia Canada, and when I listened to your podcast after watching Lost the night before, it was like having a warm conversation with good friends (even though you are half a world away).
Your voices your manner, and hard work made the podcast come across very natural and was always the best part of my Thursday mornings.
You have missed your calling, and if there was anyway to bring you back I’m sure that many of us would try.
January 31st, 2006 at 4:36 am
Ryan and Jenn,
On behalf of Racheal, my wife Stephanie, and myself, I can’t tell you how much we admire you guys. You guys have pioneered the Lost Podcasting movement that is helping literally 10’s of thousands of Lost Fans around the world to “get Lost!”
In fact, it was clearly The Transmission that encouraged us to start the “generally speaking” podcast. And without the plugs you gave us on your show, we would not have a majoirty of the listeners that we have today.
I’ve listened to EVERY SINGLE episode of the Tranmission and some of them more than once! To say that you are going to be missed is quite the understatement! I almost feel as though we’re loosing a family member!
Rest assured, if you guys ever decide to come back to Lost Podcasting at ANY POINT in the future, I will certainly tell all our listeners to jump back on board with you.
I also want to thank you for starting the LOST PODCASTING NETWORK and inviting me into this wonderful family atmostphere that you fostered! You guys have an open invitation to our show at all times!
I personally know that it takes approximately 5 to 10 hours every week to really pull off a quality Lost Podcast. I have been inspired by you in a number of ways and I am grateful for your time and effort that you investing into improving my personal time!
Words can’t say enough! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
January 31st, 2006 at 4:39 am
Hey guys, I just heard the news this morning. I just wanted to drop you a line and say “Thank You” for producing such a great fan podcast. I only look forward to a couple days during the work week - Wednesday nights for “Lost” and most definitely Thursdays and Fridays to listen to your show. Dunno what I’m gonna do with myself now… I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me *sobs*… Anyhow, I hope you guys are okay, thanks again and hopefully we’ll meet again in the e-world.
Mahalo.

Ryan and Jen,
Thanks so much for your hard work — I really enjoyed your podcast and am sad to see it go. Don’t let the naysayers get you down — “you’ve done good”.
See you on the flip-side.

January 31st, 2006 at 5:08 am
Thanks a million guys you were my first podcast and IMHO the best lost podcast. I found the amount of stuff about lost in the web too overwelming and you guys sifted the wheat from the chaff as we say in Ireland. Even though season two only starts in Ireland this week, wee lost-o-philes found ways and means of seeing the show. I couldn’t wait to see season two and your feedback section was great. I really didn’t catch half of the stuff in the show. Now I’m LOST. I don’t know which cast to move to.
I was too was always aware that it must have taken SOOOOOOOO much of your time to do the show and am really greatful. Just for the record for me the Highlights for the show were;
1 your recording of the lost seminar with the cast and the collapsing chairs.
2 Horhay garcia phoning in, what a coup for you!

Ryan & Jen -
Thanks for all your hard work. Loved the show…hope to catch some of your postings on the other sites in the future.
January 31st, 2006 at 5:39 am
Ryan and Jen,
NOooooooo!! But I understand. I have often wondered how you two managed to put out such a quality broadcast in such a short amount of time!
My husband and I are big fans of the Transmission. One of our favorite things to do was to listen to the Transmission, then discuss everything, from ya’lls commentary to the fan feedback on the show. You all produced one of the best podcasts out there, and we will miss your professionalism and engaging conversational style.
January 31st, 2006 at 5:43 am
Thanks for everything, you guys were the best of all the lost podcasts. What made it great was your sunny, positive attitude and great insight. Good luck in the future.
Steven
January 31st, 2006 at 5:56 am
I think for a lot of us, you guys are like friends. We spend time with you every week and you’ve been so darn nice! I’m one of those who found your show more fulfilling than the actual episode of Lost each week… it feels like a favorite TV show has been cancelled. You say the listeners make the show, but I think the hosts make the show and (no offense to the other podcasters) there are no hosts as wonderful as you guys in the Lost podosphere. You will be missed, and I hope somehow we will get to hear your voices again on a regular basis. Thanks again for the time and effort you’ve put into The Transmission.
January 31st, 2006 at 5:59 am
Thanks for all your hard work, Im not sure what I was looking forward to more, the next episode of LOST or the next Transmission. Again thanks for everything you have contributed to the Lost community.
January 31st, 2006 at 6:01 am
ryan and jen,
thanks to you two, i would have never gotten into podcasting to begin with. i am really sad that you two have to go, but i hope to hear calls or emails from you on some of my other favorite Lost Fan Podcasts!
it would be really good to hear your thoughts every now and again!
thank you for everything you have done, and good luck with all you have in store for the future, and stay lost!

Hello Ryan and Jen,
Thank you for the wonderful podcast. Listening to your show made my work day go a little faster. I even got my boss to subscribe to you guys, and we talk about Lost constantly here at the office.
Your hard work and dedication to The Transmission will certainly be missed. The quality and content of your show is unequaled in the Lost world, and I will miss your local insights into the production of the show.
Good luck and best wishes in all that you do!

January 31st, 2006 at 6:31 am
Ryan & Jen,
Been listening since you first showed up in iTunes. Not one to write emails, join forums, or call radio shows, but I wanted to add my “goodbye” to what I’m sure will be a long list. You guys did a fantastic job, one of very few shows that’s actually lived up to the promise of podcasting.
Good luck.

As the great philosopher Hurley might say “Whoa, bummer dude!!”
I’ll miss the show, but I feel better that it is not the result of some serious personal problems (right??)
Hard to find an upside to this as you are (oops, were) a great extra to the show itself.
Best wishes for the future. I’m not unsubscribing from the pod cast. Some day, when I least expect, I’m hoping to see a download pop up.
Maybe you can at least say “Hi” once in while to let us all know how you are doing.
Thanks for the many months you have given of yourselves.

Ryan and Jen,
This is such a shock. I hate to see you go. Your podcast was one of the best on the web. The one I look forward to more than any other each week.
Thank You for all the hard work you put in over the past months. You have really entertained and informed us.
Best of luck in the future. I will keep subscribed just in case.
Aloha!

Thank you so much for all your dedication and hardwork on this show.
I will definitely miss you and your “Forward Cabin.”
I wish you the best of luck in all your future ventures.
January 31st, 2006 at 7:20 am
I join in this loud chorus of thankyous. I am sure, like many many others, I am crying as I write this post. You are such a part of Lost that it can never be the same with out you.
Earlier this week someone posted a horrible comment about the Lost podcasts and shouted for them to start. Like the characters on Lost, I said nothing in defense of cherished friends (for though I have never met you, I feel like you are close friends). For that I am sorry.
I truely hope that your decision is one that was made to improve the quality of your life together. I was very moved when you said The Transmission brought the two of you closer. I have sent you an email with something too personal to post, but I do hope so much you will read it.
I had meant that letter to be my response, and I did not come here to post but to feel a bond with others who wish you well. But here I am posting anyway. Thank you, Ryan and Jen. May you find peace and joy, health and happiness in this life and all others. I look forward to seeing you on the boards. Like Dale, I am not unsubscribing. I hope that you might reconsider yet. If not, then I hope you might put out a monthly special. At the very least, I hope that one day, when least expected, there will be a download from my friends, Jen and Ryan.
Jai Bhagwan, I honor the light within you.

January 31st, 2006 at 7:27 am
Oh man, I’m really very sad about this. I listen to about a half a dozen podcasts and this is the ONLY one that I’d be sad about if it were suddenly gone-and now it is.
I must tell you that after I found your podcast my interest in LOST got markedly higher. I started sharing theories etc with my wife and really looked forward to Thursday mornings podcast. I called in for the first time recently and was psyched that you used my call in the last podcast (first one in the lost line calls “kick ass podcast”).
It was also so nice just to hear a podcast from Hawaii! My wife and I love it there and are hoping to move to there in the next year or two, hopefully.
Anyway, it’s been said above^ many times but I’d like to restate that I think you both did an excellent job with The Transmission. You both have great voices and made the show fun, accessible and intereactive. I wish you both much luck in whatever you do from here.
Mahalo nui loa. Ahuiho malama pono.

I’m very sorry to hear the The Transmission will no longer be available to help me work out my own theories, but completely understand. How you managed to produce two podcasts, maintain multiple websites and blogs, raise a family and work is beyond me.
I enjoyed The Transmission each and every week, and probably listened to each episode more than once. You two have produced an excellent podcast and will be missed.
Please don’t tell me that the same fate awaits HawaiiUP, the mothercast of The Transmission.
Thanks for all the great talk. Aloha!
January 31st, 2006 at 7:31 am
I will miss your PodCast. I have truely enjoyed listening each Thursday during my work day. Thanks for all the in sights into my favorite show. You have done a great job. May God bless you and your family.
January 31st, 2006 at 7:32 am
This has been the best week of my life until now. I always wanted to call in but never did. Now im regreting it. Anyways thanks for the ride. You guys are great.
Thanks You
January 31st, 2006 at 7:35 am
Thanks so much for all that you have done. Your podcast is the only one that I get excited for each week. I’ve tried many podcasts and it is the only one that has real factual knowledge from the island. No other podcast can give the real Hawaiian knowledge.
We will definitely miss you and I will miss cleaning once a week to your podcast.
Hope to see you on the Fuselage!
January 31st, 2006 at 7:40 am
Thank you two for the great show while it lasted. While there are other Lost podcasts out there, it just won’t be the same without you guys. You will be missed
January 31st, 2006 at 7:52 am
I want to cry.
January 31st, 2006 at 7:53 am
OMG! I can’t believe my favorite podcast is gone. To be honest, I don’t know how you found the time to make such a great podcast is such a short time and have it ready for everyone the very next day. I guess that’s one reason why the show is no more.
Thanx for all you time and I look forward to hearing from you maybe as a call-in on some of the other podcasts.

Ryan & Jen,
Thank you so much for taking the time to produce the best podcast out there. I can honestly say that every Thursday, I looked forward to hearing the both of you discuss my favorite show. I’m surely going to miss the both of you. Best of luck in everything, and thank you again.
January 31st, 2006 at 8:01 am
Jen and Ryan:
After watching Lost each week, I looked forward to hearing your discussion on the podcast. It’s going to be quite a loss on Thursdays from here on out.
Thanks for the weeks of enjoyment and I hope that you’ll be doing even more rewarding and enjoyable things with your time.
January 31st, 2006 at 8:02 am
Goodbye The Transmission
I just updated my podcasts in iTunes and started listening to The Transmission. Apparently, Ryan and Jen have decided to stop podcasting.
I just recently started listening to the podcast and really enjoyed it, so it’s sad to see The Transmission…
January 31st, 2006 at 8:59 am
Congratulations Jen and Ryan, for making a television show so much more important than it should be.
You did this splendidly by creating a community of people who not only love Lost but who love you both so much.
I really enjoyed knowing that you were in Hawaii ( you could do anything in hawaii and it would be ok by me ). except speeding of course
And that you have such respect for our theories and ideas and even our random thoughts, but most of all for our intense love of the show.
I will miss you both so much, I just began listening and just began thinking of the show in so many different ways.
Best of luck to you both and your wonderful family. I will miss you much. carol-anne
January 31st, 2006 at 9:05 am
Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for everything Ryan & Jen. You guys put in so much effort and it really shone through. You will be sorely missed. Thanks again.
January 31st, 2006 at 9:12 am
ok guys, you don’t know me but I’ve been listening to your podcast since about this time last year. Is weird but I kinda got used to hearing you guys and your the Lost Podcast every week during Lost season.
But I do understand that delicate balance between “real world” and “net world”. Maybe some time in the distant future you can rejoin the Lost pod-waves, eh?
Thanks for the great show!
Take care and see you around on the interwub.
Mahalo,

Man, this podcast was definitely my new favorite. Sad to see you guys go. Take care.
January 31st, 2006 at 9:50 am
I wanted to comment and let you know that you were a huge addition to my Lost experience. Your hard work and dedication to the cause was inspirational, and your input will truly be missed.
Thanks guys. Although we’re sad to see you go, hope your future is filled with love and prosperity, and we’ll be looking for you in the Lost Universe.
Until we see y’all again,
Kelley
January 31st, 2006 at 9:57 am
Thanks for a great show. It’ll definitely be missed.
January 31st, 2006 at 10:01 am
I really looked forward to The Transmission every week and came to know Ryan and Jenn as friends and familiar voices, even though I’ve never spoke to them. It’s really sad to see this and I think having this podcast is half of what made the show so great. You’ll be missed.
January 31st, 2006 at 10:06 am
You guys are killing me. I wish you wouldn’t quit but, well, thanks for all the fun. So long, we’ll all miss you - a lot!
January 31st, 2006 at 10:12 am
Oh No! The Transmission was my favorite podcast, Lost or otherwise. I will really miss you. Yours was the best produced, least sarcastic of the Lost podcasts. Good luck and please keep sending in the cast sightings.
January 31st, 2006 at 10:16 am
Dear Ryan and Jen,
thank you so much for all the effort it took to deliver each week such a great podcast. It was my first podcast ever and ever and I am so sad to let it go.
All the best to you!
Christiane
January 31st, 2006 at 10:32 am
Ryan and Jen,
I have recently told all my LOST buddies to listen to you guys. I am so sad you are leaving the LOST podcast world. I eagerly downloaded your show every Thursday morning and would listen as I drove my son to and from daycare. I think I was beginning to enjoy your podcast more than the actual show!
I listen to other LOST podcasts, but none are as good as yours. I can only hope that you’ll miss this so much that you’ll decide to return in the future. Until then, a big Mahalo for all your hard work and addition to the LOST community.
January 31st, 2006 at 10:46 am
Sorry to hear you two are off the air! Surely the greatest media husband & wife since Richard and Judy (sorry for the UK reference).
Good luck and God Bless for whatever you plan to do next.
P.S. If I win the lottery this week, what would you charge me to commission you to put the show on again? :0)
January 31st, 2006 at 10:46 am
All good things must end.
Thanks for all the hard work you put in to your podcast. I thoroughly enjoyed your discussion, speculation and listener comments. Great job, guys.
January 31st, 2006 at 10:54 am
awww dang guys… I have to say I’ve been with you since the beginning. This was my first podcast that I downloaded and I will forever remember your great show.
Thank you and nameste!

Dear Ryan & Jen
This is so sad! I became so hooked to your Transmission and I always looked forward to it every week. You guys are so professional I thought you were actually broadcasters in real life. Well, good luck to both of you in whatever you end up doing. And thank you very very much for putting up such a wonderful podcast and so professionally produced.
Adios amigos,
Natalie
January 31st, 2006 at 11:10 am
WOW. I am very VERY saddened that there will no longer be any shows from you two. “The Transmission” has been the best LOST podcast out there, hands down. You two have done a fabulous job of keeping your show fresh and tidy, never too long and never over-analyzing every aspect of LOST. And I know for a fact that no other show will be able to provide the on-location insights as you have. It’s safe to say that I enjoyed your show tremendously.
Thank you so much the great job you have done. I do realize that it must be a great time commitment for you two, given that you already juggle work, children, marriage, and hawaiiup.com. Best of luck to both of you and I’ll miss you!

I love your show and have looked forward to listening every Thursday morning these past few months. Sorry to hear you won’t be podcasting anymore - however, I wish you both the very best in your lives beyond the Transmission - stay Lost!

People will ask me when ‘Lost’ jumped the shark and I’ll tell them it was when Ryan & Jen decided to stop podcasting the show. Congratulations on another moment of internet history.
January 31st, 2006 at 11:53 am
You’ll be missed.
Mahalo nui loa.
Aloha.
See you in another life.

Hey Ryan and Jen
Your podcast is really the best one out there,,, when i got the e-mail that says that its over i swear i skipped a heartbeat!!
and i love it when the podcast is long (+1 hour)
i hope its not a financial problem to keep the podcast on-air because that can be solved easily.
thank you so much.

Wow, I have never written in but have listened from the beginning. Just wanted to thank you guys soooooo much for all the great podcasts. I always looked foward to listening to you guys and having to hear what your thoughts were about Lost. Again, thank you both so much for everything. Your hard work and effort was so obvious in every single one of your productions. Again, thanks for everything guys. Aloha and thanks again.
I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that we will miss you just as much, if not more, than you will miss us.
Again, Thank you!!!!
January 31st, 2006 at 12:12 pm
Hey Ryan and Jen,
I seriously just got into your show. I think I listened to the first one a week or so ago, maybe even less. I was hooked immediately and have been listening to old podcasts and catching up every time I go for a walk or am running around campus between classes. So you can imagine my disappointment to discover that it’s over! I want to thank you both for keeping it going as long as you did, and for doing such a great job of it. I applaud you for making the tough but wise decision to go out on top rather than allow the quality of the show to deteriorate. Best of luck to you both!
Cheers,
Ofri
January 31st, 2006 at 12:16 pm
Jen & Ryan,
I can’t possibly thank you enough for everything that you have done for me and the LOST community as a whole. You had become such a part of my LOST experience. It will not be the same. Friday mornings were like Christmas for me running to the computer to see if I got the new episode.
You will be sadly missed.
THANK YOU BOTH!
January 31st, 2006 at 12:23 pm
I’m so sad to hear you guys are leaving the podcast world but I wanted to say that I loved your show while it lasted. I will miss you two a TON! I was wondering, are you still keeping up with the network? I’d love to help if I can. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
January 31st, 2006 at 12:30 pm
Ryan and Jen,
You guys were so good. Thanks for the good times! I dont know what to do now!
January 31st, 2006 at 12:38 pm
Just want to say thanks for the podcasts, really enjoyed them for many reasons.
Kinda sad now but good luck for the future and hope all goes well.
January 31st, 2006 at 12:41 pm
Very sad news! Your podcast was the absolutely best, will miss ‘The Transmission’ greatly. :’(
January 31st, 2006 at 1:07 pm
Ryan and Jen
We loved you and your show, and we understand real life makes the show hard to do!
Go out when its good, so we have something good to remember!
January 31st, 2006 at 1:37 pm
Your’s was the first LOST podcast I found and it has contributed greatly to my enjoyment of the show. I always appreciated the effort you put in to deliver an outstanding show. I’ll definitely miss you. Best of luck to you both in your future projects - I know you’ll be successful.
January 31st, 2006 at 1:38 pm
i will miss the show too. you guys had a relaxed tone that was pleasing to listen to. i really enjoyed it. you worked well together and that gave the show a very easy to listen to quality.
all your hard work was appreciated. thanks for doing it.
January 31st, 2006 at 1:48 pm
hey, even though I came in pretty late and only heard about six episodes of your podcast, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all of your hard work at sharing the joys of “Lost” with the world. your podcast was the first one I happened upon while searching iTunes, and I’m really glad yours was the one I found! listening to The Transmission helped pass the time for me while riding the bus to and from school. it also gave me several good theories to think about and share with my family. you will be missed. thanks again, and good luck in the future!
January 31st, 2006 at 1:48 pm
Sad to see you finish - my Friday drive to work won’t be the same without the two of you ! You’re definitely going out on a high as your podcast is not only the best Lost podcast but one of the best podcasts on the web.
Thanks for all the great shows, good luck and mahalo.

January 31st, 2006 at 1:53 pm
Aw, man. I’ve been listening since about the second episode. Sorry you can’t keep it up–this is the best Lost podcast out there, by far (way better than that snarky official podcast). With this I never needed to scour the Web for info. How am I going to get all my Losty goodness every Thursday without Ryan and Jen?
Thanks for months of fun.
January 31st, 2006 at 2:12 pm
Wow, I just added you guys to my PSP with the new wi-fi RSS stream update, although I’ve been listen for monthes. You guys have been my #1 podcast since I entered the podcasting world. You have been so great and have created one of the greatest podcasts on the internet. I was truely sad all day long after listening this morning. I just hope that this has nothing to do with Ryan’s health. Aloha Jen and Ryan and thank you for the podcast!
January 31st, 2006 at 2:16 pm
Great show it’s sad to see it come to an end but thankyou for all the podcasts you done, they were some of the best.
January 31st, 2006 at 2:34 pm
I will miss you both soooooooo much. Your podcast made my week. It was so nice to hear a husband and wife working together and working so well with each other. Enjoy each other and the new time you have together.
January 31st, 2006 at 2:34 pm
Ryan and Jen,
Your podcast is by far the best I’ve listened to and I’ll forever miss hearing some awesome theories from you and the fans. There isn’t anywhere else where I can see an organized list of theories and ideas and spoilers. Good luck in the future. And if you ever decide to come back, you better email me!
Aloha
January 31st, 2006 at 2:39 pm
Bye Ryan and Jen
Thank you so much for all your hard work on the show! Yours was the first podcast I ever listened to… and what better introduction to the medium could there have been?
Much love from Canada!
January 31st, 2006 at 2:58 pm
Ryan and Jen -
I totally understand your reasons behind dropping the Transmission - but it’s sad news nonetheless. Thank you for an excellent ride - and God bless.

Thanks for a great podcast. Best of luck to you in the future.
January 31st, 2006 at 3:27 pm
Ryan and Jen,
Like you, I listen to just about every Lostcast out there. But yours was The One. I’ve listened to every single show from the beginning. As much as I love Lost, a big part of experiencing the show is now gone. You made a grown man well up.
You two (and the three little ones) deserve the very best. Thank you so very much for all you’ve given us.
God bless,

Ryan & Jen-
I was very sadden to hear the news this morning. I always looked forward to starting my Lost-podcast week with The Transmission!
You were my very first downloaded podcast, I have listened to you guys from the beginning. Regrettably, I never sent an email or phoned in a theory
I totally understand your decision, I can’t imagine how much time it takes to create such a kick-ass podcast as The Transmission. I hope to hear from you both on Lostcasts, Jay & Jack and/or Scott & Steve….
I will truly miss The Transmission, it was fantastic!
Good Luck and best wishes in all your future endeavors.

Hey guys. I just learned the morbid news. I loved your show so much and I am devestated that it is over. I would watch the newest episode of “Lost” and just think of all the great stuff you would talk about in the next transmission and the next day I would listen to it as soon as I could. The show tought me many of the therois and inside tid-bits hidden throughout the episode.
But, I am not angry at you at all. I understand that it has to stop and I respect you for balancing the show with real life. I congratulate you guys for getting one of the top spots on Itunes and I hope that…somehow…maybe you will occasionally put out an podcast or something
I, and thousands of other fans, will miss you dearly
Mahalo and thank you so much
~Chris
January 31st, 2006 at 4:09 pm
Wow guys. I’m sorry to see you guys go. Yours was the first podcast I subscribed to, and hands down my favorite. I hope everything works out for you.. and if you decide to bring The Transmission back at some point.. we’ll be here to listen. Thanks again.
Jason
January 31st, 2006 at 4:18 pm
Ryan and Jen -
You guys are so killer for having done your podcast for as long as you did. Every time I would listen, I would think about how much time you both must put into it. You both were so great to listen to and I’m so appreciative for the podcasts that I got to listen to.
January 31st, 2006 at 4:19 pm
Ryan and Jen-
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the great podcast. Although i’m sorry to see it go, i know it helps to know that your listeners are behind you all the way. Please know that we won’t be mad! One day I was stumbling through the top podcasts and i saw yours. Whatever it was that made me give it a click, i don’t know. But man am i thankful for it. You have helped me so much with Lost and have really provoked a lot of my thoughts about the show. I think because of you i got so addicted to Lost. And i’m glad too. It’s been great listening to you, and i’ve loved listening to you. I think that not only myself, but many of your listeners would love to see a picture of our favorite podcasters posted on your site. It would be awesome to see the faces and the family behind the magic of The Transmission. Again, Thank you. And i can’t express it in words, but i just want you to know that myself and all your listeners are truly glad that we had the transmission, no matter how much we hate to see it go.
Always with you-

This news is terrible. My favorite podcast is going away. Thanks for all the hard work and the entertainment you provided. As it is said, all good things must come to an end. It’s just sad that you couldn’t end whenever the show does. Once again, thanks for everything.

ryan, jen, thank you both so much for your wonderful podcast. i first got into the transmission just as season two of Lost was beginning and every week i would download your show, put it onto my mp3 player and listen to it on the bus into work. it’s funny but i looked forward to your show just as much as i did to a new episode of lost. it’s a very real shame that the transmission is coming to a close so soon, but i loved it while it lasted. i hope everything is going good for you guys. i’ll miss hearing you each week.

You and your show will be greatly missed as we all “get Lost” each week. But you deserve praise for putting your family first, and not forcing them to sacrifice just to satisfy our addiction.
I look forward to hearing from you somewhere out there in cyberspace.

January 31st, 2006 at 4:53 pm
I am with everyone above in being so sad about the ending of the transmission I cannot even put it into words. I haven’t listened to the podcast yet. It’s downloading as I write this. But since this isn’t Thursday, I assumed it wasn’t good news.
I hope that everything is ok. When last I read, Ryan wasn’t feeling well. My thoughts are with you. If you ever decide to get back into The Transmission, I will be ready to listen.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

I have to join everyone with saying a huge THANKS for producing The Transmission. I only discovered your show 2 episodes ago and was instantly hooked! You both have done a terrific job.

Thank you. Miss you. All that’s being said 80+ times above, plus all the fans that didn’t post but feel the same… But WHY? If it’s time constraints, we would love your podcast just the same if it comes out on Sunday nights (you REALLY didn’t have to kill yourselves getting it out Thursday mornings). If it’s financial, post a Paypal donation button and we’ll all help out. If it’s personal, we won’t ask anymore, but surely would have appreciated a little more warning ahead of time.
January 31st, 2006 at 5:58 pm
Just to echo the many many comments you have, thank you so much for doing The Transmission. Im a little sad to see you go, but I can understand it takes so much work to put this together. I wish you well in your lives and I hope you enjoy the time you’ll now be able to have.
Thankyou

Ok, someone had to say it, I’ll be LOST without you!! The Transmission was the very best podcast out there and THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your hard work. After last weeks podcast i meant to email you to say that i LOVE the detailed replay of the show that you do. I am deeply sad, you will be missed. Be well and happy,
~Cheryl~
January 31st, 2006 at 6:24 pm
OK… here I was updating my iTunes Podcast subscriptions and I see an early Transmission podcasts called “Aloha.” What’s up with that? Wow! You guys are suddenly leaving before the season ends? Gees… The Transmission was the first and only LOST podcast I regularly listened to, and only recently added the ABC podcast to my lineup.
I have to tell you I enjoyed every podcast of THE TRANSMISSION because you folks caught a lot of stuff in each episode that I did not catch the first time or was not aware of. Plus all the people who sent clips in also helped. Now what am I gonna do? I guess peruse the regular message boards or find another LOSTcast…
That all said, the biggest draw of THE TRANSMISSION for me is the fact that it was locally produced and of course an offshoot of HawaiiUP which I hope you folks will continue even if on a periodical basis. I am sure all the LOST fans who listen are shocked at this, but then I am sure you both have a good reason for discontinuing.
The good thing is that I have every episode of THE TRANSMISSION saved so that when the SEASON 2 DVDs come out, I can review them as I watch episodes 1 - 12 all over again at some future date. So in that respect THE TRANSMISSION will still be relevant and come in handy for review purposes.
Good luck and hear you folks on HAWAII UP. Aloha,

What a drag! You guys added a lot to an already great show. You were inspiring as a couple as it seemed like you were having fun with each other. I loved your theories and lively discussions. You will be a missed part of my week.
Good luck in your after-transmission-lives.
January 31st, 2006 at 6:41 pm
Ryan & Jen, you guys will be missed. Thank you for all your hard work.

Ryan and Jen,
Thank you both so much for doing The Transmission. I can’t tell you how much i will miss listening to this podcast weekly. As big of a LOST fan as I am, you guys were the first and only LOST podcast I listened to. I have been a frequent listener since episode one and cannot stress how much I will miss your podcast. It has been so much fun and I will miss you both.
See you in another life,

No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our whole family (2 adults, 4 kids) listens to and loves your podcast. You’ve done a wonderful job with it. Please consider somehow continuing in some capacity, or at least choose someone else to “carry the torch” and continue the high standard you’ve set.
Anyway, we certainly understand your needing to get out from under the “obligation” of doing the podcast. It would sure be great if you could make a living doing the podcast, but certainly the rest of life is important, too.
Thank you for your true labor of love and gift of an excellent podcast. Be blessed!

Oh, comon
I just started listening, I’ll have to go back and listen to your other pods.
Well I guess it had to happen, wise move I guess.
I just wanted to say thanks for the best pod casts I’ve ever had the honor to be played on my PC.
Good luck to both of you, I mean that.
January 31st, 2006 at 8:42 pm
I just left a message elsewhere and then checked the update to see this. I’m so sad to hear this — you have the best podcast I’ve heard so far and so enjoyable. You both have such warmth and personality, I’m sure whatever happens next for you both will bring you both happiness, I’m so sad I missed this podcast from the beginning.
Best to you both…and I’m missing you already.
Best,

I’m Lost without “The Transmission”
I can’t tell you how disappointed I am to hear of the demise of “The Transmission”. I just put in a vote at podcastalley raving about the show and I was blindsided by your announcement.
Obviously you have made your decision so let me share a thought or two. I’m not sure if you two know how good The Transmission is. All of your efforts in preparation and production quality really come across in what I believe to be one of the best overall podcasts available.
I don’t participate in the forums so I will leave you with this. Thanks! Thanks for the work and effort. I really enjoyed The Transmission. Your passion for the show and attention to detail enhanced my viewing enjoyment immensely. Your personalities and delivery were always very friendly to the point where I feel like I know you both.
While you do not know me, I will always consider you my friends in Hawaii.
Aloha.

What a shock. It’s like they cancelled “LOST”. Always looked forward to your conversations about the show. Stay happy.
February 1st, 2006 at 1:58 am
Ryan & Jen,
Man I cannot believe this is coming to an end. Who would of thought how BIG this would get. I wish you would explain further the reason for shutting down. To me it seemed that it was just too time consuming for a “hobby” especially for being parents. I bet that your show would of grown even faster had things been different continued.
One thing about Podcasting, it seems that growth isn’t always better. Smaller shows are more intimate to the listener and far more pleasant for the Podder. Ryan you always gave so much credit to Jen, but I’d like to thank you for putting out such an incredibly professional show. Your quality is “No Ka Oi” in the podcast community!! Now go relax and spend time with your family!
Aloha,

Seriously, though, thanks for the podcast - I have really enjoyed it. You guys will be missed!
February 1st, 2006 at 3:24 am
Ryan and Jen,
Thank you so much for bringing me into the world of podcasts and for your unique perspectives on the show. I will truly miss you guys very much.
I was listening to your comments on the Fire+Water edition of The Transmission, and got very anxious when you had mentioned that you were considering shortening the length of the show. Now that you have instead decided to end The Transmission, my anxiety levels are at an all time high.
Seriously, though, like other bloggers have mentioned, your show was terrific. Your aloha spirit really transmitted well, and has encouraged me to research a trip to Hawaii. If and when that comes to fruition, you guys (and Lost) will be in on my mind for much of the trip.
Hopefully you will send audio file feedback to other Lost podcasts so we can continue to get snippets of your Lost input.
Good luck with your future endeavors, and thank you so much for enriching so many lives!
-Paul
February 1st, 2006 at 4:03 am
The Transmission was the best Lost Podcast out there and we will miss it very much. MAHALO NUI for the hard work, time and energy you put into. You did a great job introducing my to the world of Podcasting and Lost Fan groups out there. It all started with the HawaiiUp Podcast, then this then … I owe my new found interests to you, Thanks.
Good luck in the future and know that we are always here and ready if you find the time to expound your knowledge and theories to us again.

Oh man, Ryan and Jen you’ll truly be missed! I only called in once, but I was a faithful listener and really loved the show. I guess I’ll have to go out and find another Lost podcast to listen to, but I know nothing else will compare. Best of luck with everything in the future, and I’ll remain hopeful that one day in the not-too-distant future you’ll make a return to the podcasting world.
With saddness over your leaving, but happiness knowing that this is what’s best for you guys - Aloha!
February 1st, 2006 at 5:25 am
Wow, was super stoked to see a new episode downloading so quickly and then soooo super bumed to see and hear why. Thanks for giving us such a great media to listen to every week. While I’m totally bumed to see you two leave -none of the other podcast even come close to comparing! - I wish the Best of luck to both of you!
Thanks Again,

I just wanted to add my two cents to the ever growing list of comments by the your loyal listeners.
Ryan and Jen, I think you two have always done a superb job and have raised the bar for podcasts. All the work you both put in to creating weekly shows is amazing and very much appreciated. I am happy to say that The Transmission was the very first podcast I listened to on my iPod and it remains one of the best, well produced, well researched podcast out there. Thank you both for your dedication, enthusiasim and most of all allowing us all to join you in this wild ride we call Lost.
I wish you both all the luck in the future. Aloha!!
February 1st, 2006 at 6:54 am
I am genuinely saddened by the end of your run. I have never called in to the show and this is my first post to your board. I have connected to your show as much or even more than LOST the show. I will miss not listening to your well-produced podcast.
I’m still hoping that you just need to change your mind about this whole stopping thing. For now I’m lost in a different way. How do I disconnect from your show and pick up another. How can any other show live up to the ordered, smooth-going nature of your show.
It will take time, I know. I miss you guys already.
February 1st, 2006 at 6:55 am
What a shame you have to stop, had a great time listenening to your show, thanks for all the good shows !!!
February 1st, 2006 at 6:59 am
Sigh…..thanks though for your podcast…what happened? hope we hear from you guys again at somepoint! It was nice to listen to other people besides the producers of the show Lost. This website closing too? It was also nice to post here. Miss you guys. Thanks again!
February 1st, 2006 at 7:01 am
did you guys give away something in one of the podcasts…were we too close to figuring things out……????
again thank you for your enthusiasm!
February 1st, 2006 at 7:21 am
Thank you Ryan and Jen for your great LOST podcast. Hope you’ll be back…
February 1st, 2006 at 7:33 am
Talk about a show that will be missed - you two really were the beginning of a huge thing here in the Lost community. I started listening to the ‘cast not long after a recent trip to Hawaii ironically. Hope to see you pop up on the boards and do some guest hosting on some other shows, ok??
February 1st, 2006 at 7:56 am
SAD is not enough, BUMMED is not enough. WOW I looked forward to your podcast every week. I wish you both the best. I hope you can come back for Season 3!
February 1st, 2006 at 8:06 am
Dear Ryan & Jen,
First and foremost-THANK YOU for a great run! Albeit the news was unexpected, I totally respect your decision–Marriage and Family come first.
My only regret was never calling in with my comments, your observations and enthusiasm for LOST was genuine and contagious. In fact, the reason I continue to watch the series is due largely in part to THE TRANSMISSION. Your program was eagerly awaited by me every Thursday. I played it
on my iPod during a run or have it blasting it out of my office from the sound dock. It was a great time.
From now on when I watch LOST, I’ll always say to myself, “I wonder what Ryan & Jen are thinking about this episode?”
Thank for all the sweat you both put into this, I can only imagine how you manage podcasting THE TRANSMISSION this long, plus raising kids and dealing with real life. From a fan’s perspective it was a blast!
I can only hope to see you both on a flashback sequence of a future LOST episode??? ABC owes you one for enriching our viewing experience.
Blessings to you both and your family.

Hey, I’m soo sad its ended!!!
Thank you for all the wonderfull podcasts.
I hope everything goes well for you.
Aloha.

What??? This is sad news =( You guys were THE best Lost podcast going. Thank you for all of your time and effort. Sorry but this is just so sudden! I just hope that you guys are not quitting because some idiots start to write in saying negative things about the show. Good luck to both of you and perhaps one day the Transmission will return!!
February 1st, 2006 at 9:30 am
Sorry to see you go - Whenever I missed an episode, your synopses were very helpful.
February 1st, 2006 at 9:39 am
What a shame!
I started listening to this show just recently during the 3 week long pause in Season 2. I liked The Transmission so much! I’ve learnt about a lot of interesting theories and kind of got to know you guys too. I will miss your podcast very much.
I wish you joy and success for the future! Take care!
February 1st, 2006 at 9:42 am
I am sad. I looked forward to listening to The Transmission after every Lost episode. I know there are other Lost podcasts, but there was something “special” about yours. Maybe it’s just because you two seem like such great people–listening to The Transmission was kind of like getting together with friends over a cup of coffee on Thursday morning to talk about the previous night’s episode. Well, I wish I had said this before, but thank you so much for The Transmission. I know it must have taken a huge amount of time to put the episodes together, and I hope you know how much it was appreciated. I wish you both the very best of everything in the future, and hope to run into you somewhere around the Lost universe.
February 1st, 2006 at 10:07 am
You two will really be missed! My husband and I listened to you guys every Thursday evening during dinner. There will be an empty spot at our table now. Ryan, your hard work was much appreciated. The best to you and Jen.

Aloha, Ryan & Jen,
Though I haven’t listened to your final podcast yet (I haven’t had the chance to put it onto my iPod), I’m beginning to think that this is something I should probably listen to at home as opposed to at work, where I usually listen to podcasts. Your podcast has been so enjoyable to listen to and I’ve referenced you guys so many times in my LiveJournal that I don’t know what I’m going to do now!
Like so many others, I won’t be cutting off my subscription on iTunes, just in case you decide to make a comeback. Just don’t make it one like DriveShaft and start advertising diapers!
Mahalo for all your hard work and all you’ve done to help us Lost fans work through our theories. You’ll be missed!
February 1st, 2006 at 11:33 am
Guys, im gutted!
Your podcast was the best one on all of iTunes!
i was so sad to hear that you are not doing any more!
Please, come back for a few specials, Maybe a Podcast every 4-6 Episodes? Or a season Recap when Season 2 comes to a end?
Im in the UK, and your show is popular here as it is all over the world.
Thank you so much, but please come back sometime soon!
best regards

Thats too bad, i just started hearing your show 2 episodes back, good luck too you all. you guys had an awsome show. rock on!
February 1st, 2006 at 2:00 pm
Dear Ryan and Jen,
I just want to thank you for all the work you’ve done on this amazing beyond amazing podcast.
Every thursday night, I used to listen to it before bed, and since I fall asleep in three seconds–I was able to delay one show to anywhere from four to six days. I used to even rave about it to my friends. They told me I was podcast-addicted.
I called in once and even got on the air! I thank you sooo much for doing it and I’m unfortunately going to give up listening to podcasts because none of them are even close to worth it like yours!
Thank you and thanks so much for putting me on the air.
Love always,
Sydney
February 1st, 2006 at 2:10 pm
Hey guys,
That’s unfortunate, but understandable.
Good luck, and thank you so much for the podcast while it lasted. There was a definitive reason why you made the top 10 podcasting list. You guys did it, and did it well.
Thanks again, and hey, who knows, unlike LOST characters, maybe we might see you guys in a “flash-forward”. It’s gonna be a long series after all!
Thanks again,
Arad
February 1st, 2006 at 2:42 pm
Hi guys, I am so sad to hear you are going off the air. But I understand that about life changes… I hope to see you next year at the next season. Also hope to see your boards keep up.
Hopefully someone from ABC may pickup your show and syndicate it over the air and air you once a week on TV. It is definately a show well worth it!
February 1st, 2006 at 3:03 pm
I am so sad. Lost is not as fun to watch without hearing from you as well.
You guys were the best!
Thank you for the best podcast.

Believe it or not I actually started listening to your podcasts before I started waiting ‘Lost’. You two got me started on ‘Lost’ and made it so much more interesting to watch. Are you sure you’re not quitting because ABC failed to raise your salary like they did for the regular cast members? I think $80K per episode for you guys sound reasonable. Do want us to start a petition on your behalf?
Thanks for all your hard work. I’m glad you’re ending your podcast for practical reasons and not for anything controversial or tragic. See you around the ‘Lost’ world.
February 1st, 2006 at 3:11 pm
Hi Ryan and Jen,
Your podcast was the VERY FIRST podcast I ever listened to starting back in October. I always looked forward to going to work on Thursdays because it was when I would get to hear two friendly voices talking about a show I like very much.
I have to say that out of all the Lost podcasts out there, your’s was the most down-to-earth and professional. Great job!
I know how much time podcasts can take to create, so I completely understand your decision. Why not do a show when the season is over so we can at least hear your thoughts on how it turned out? There’s no rule that says you have to do a weekly podcast either. Remember, when it comes to hobbies, you can create yor own rules. I think we would rather hear you two once in awhile than not at all.
Well, good luck to the both of you and thanks again for all your great work.
Thanks,
Dan
February 1st, 2006 at 3:17 pm
Oh no. I am so disappointed.
But I want to thank you for all your hard work–I enjoyed your podcast so much every week! I will miss you!!
Good luck in the future,
Carla
February 1st, 2006 at 3:19 pm
Very sad but I know just how much effort must have gone into each show.
What a bombshell though!
Yours was one of the few none techie podcasts I listened to each week and always looked forward to each episode.
Best wishes for the future and if you want to drop the ocassional mp3 into the feed just to let us know how things are going, I’ll keep subscribed!
Thanks!

Ryan and Jen,
I am so sad that it is ending but am glad to heat that you guys became closer becasue of the podcast.
Are you guys still going to be doing the Hawaii up podcast? At least I will still be able to listen to your voice and won’t feel that I have lost friends.
Sincerly, thanks for everything

Hey guys~
As a big fan, I’m sorry to hear your signing off. Y’all were not only the first LOST podcast I listened to, but my very first podcast. Your show was always so seamless and professional, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I felt like a little kid waiting to download your cast. You guys did a specatacular job and I find myself comparing other podcasts (even ones not about LOST) to the professionalism of yours. I know it must have taken a lot of hard work and time to put out something so good. I’m staying subscribed just in case you guys find the time to make a comeback.
Que Dios te bendice tu vida. (May God bless your lives) since you were certainly a blessing to hear from every week.
Adios,
Martha

Greetings from Valdivia,Chile
I started to to listen this podcast very while ago, im very sad for this…..it was a great podcast…probably one of the best in the web….anyway thanks for everything Ryan and Jen, im sure that you guys in some way will be back….
NAMASTE
February 1st, 2006 at 4:37 pm
I am so bummed! Your show is my favorite LOST podcast. I just got addicted….I’m a little disturbed that I teared up just a little when I heard your announcement - lol!
Great job, Ryan and Jen! As others have said ‘The Transmission’ has been special and distinct from other LOST podcasts. I’ve loved getting to know other LOST fans through your “You All Everybody” segment and the post-show calls, and getting to know you both just a bit. It’s been great and I’m really going to miss it.
I hope that, if your schedule changes and balance permits, that you’ll continue resurrecting the show. I’ll be holding my breath and crossing my fingers (and toes).
Love you guys! Aloha!

I understand what it’s like to have a full schedule, so I can’t blame you for giving up the Transmission. Hopefully you two can get back into it eventually. Have you thought about maybe putting out a much less frequent version of the Transmission? As time permitted, you could do a short cast every few episodes or so…I’ll keep you guys in iTunes just in case!!
Thank you very much for all of your work!!
February 1st, 2006 at 4:48 pm
I’ll just miss you…
February 1st, 2006 at 4:57 pm
noooooooooo!!!!
by far my fave lost podcast - i’m very sad ya’ll are leaving.
ryan and jen - thank you so much for your efforts. i loved the show.
February 1st, 2006 at 5:07 pm
Where will I go now for a show as great as this? :o( Thanks for all the previous shows though. I listened to them religiously!
February 1st, 2006 at 5:09 pm
J&R - Good Luck to you. Thank you for the excellent broadcasts. Been a weekly listener for quite a while now. Hope you can enjoy watching the rest of the series without a notepad on your lap.

Dear Ryan and Jen,
I, too, am deeply saddened by the end of The Transmission. As many people stated above, if it’s true that it’s mostly because of time constraints that you can’t continue the show the way it’s been done, perhaps someday when things calm down a little, or you’re just really bored, you’ll put out a special edition once in a while of The Transmission. I’m sure all of us would listen. In the last 24 hours I have been brainstorming ideas for how you can maybe make special episodes that only come out once in a while.
Here are some ideas. Feel free, anyone, to add to them:
1. I know you normally put many hours worth of planning into each show, but I’d enjoy an improvised show if you ever have the itch to come back. You know, just wing it. Hell, I’d listen.
2. A commentary show: a podcast that can be played simultaneously with an episode of LOST, with all of your insight and comments. It would be cool to hear your insights on a location while we’re looking at it on the screen.
3. Specials - when something really wild and crazy happens on LOST, just pop out of nowhere and throw out a podcast about it!
I know it’s a long shot, but in a few weeks or months from now, I hope you consider some of these ideas. You know we’ll still love you if you never do another podcast again, but maybe an alternative version may suit your family’s needs, as well as fulfill your love for talking about LOST.
I always admired how you never made fun of people’s theories (no matter how far fetched they may have seemed) and encouraged people to share their thoughts. It felt good to know we could do that without being made fun of or mocked. You genuinely welcomed all ideas, and I loved that. Also, thanks for not being full of yourselves! There is a great temptation in Podcasting to just yammer on and on and on and go off on a million tangents that nobody thinks are cute or funny, and you guys never did that. That was cool - you were straight to the point and humble, and that is very admirable.
Ok, I’m done now. Mahalo.
Love, Julie

The Transmission may be no more, but let’s remember it was a spin-off from Ryan’s original podcast, HawaiiUP. Perhaps when Ryan posts another HawaiiUP show and Jen appears for her Pith of Pop segments, they can be coaxed into a little Lost talk like the old days, hmmm?
I encourage folks to check out the HawaiiUP archives. Jay and Jack will never miss out on Jen’s sexy voice.
February 1st, 2006 at 6:04 pm
Thank you both for all the love and support that you put into your show. It came through in your podcast and thats what made it so special and entertaining for all the listeners. You will definitely be missed. And I will have to find somehting else to do on Thursdays at work. Best of luck to you both. Thanks!
February 1st, 2006 at 6:33 pm
I was found, but now I am lost!.
Ryan & Jen……….your show was great every week!
Everything happens for a reason, good luck with your future endeavors.
I really became a lost junkie, and I loved your podcast the best.
Aloha from Chicago and hope to hear from you again.
Remember, you finished your podcast with a Desmond comment…..
so I’ll end my comments the same way…he also said
” You’ve got to lift it up”, so keep it elevated!!!
God Bless,
Mike
February 1st, 2006 at 6:40 pm
The problem is every other Lost podcast I listen to from now on will be compared to The Transmission, which was just the perfect blend of everything. They just can’t compare and aren’t the same. There really isn’t a good replacement, just decent (at best) substitutes. As much as I try to respect the decisions of Ryan and Jenn, I can’t help but feel let down and truly sad. It was weekly ritual for me to listen and it’s like this great couple is dead to me or something (hence the “see you in another life”). All in all, it’s been a couple days and I still feel as depressed this happened. Wish there was something we, as listeners, could do. Maybe financial support for this? Will miss you dearly.
February 1st, 2006 at 7:17 pm
Say it ain’t so !
Ryan and Jen, thanks again for all the hard work you did
on the Transmission Podcasts I truly enjoyed all your
Transmission Podcasts and I’m going to miss them !
On a side note, since I’m a soundtrack collector you might want to check out
Varese Sarabande’s site, there’s a interesting announcement in their
news section, most defintely Lost related.
February 1st, 2006 at 9:01 pm
Wow I feel like we will be missing a big part of the show. The recaps always helped me see things clearer. The forward cabin always got me thinking of new possibilities and even the great quality of callers comments and speculations actually sent me down many paths reading books watching movies etc.ABC should actually pay you to keep the fire going. I for one would be willing to spend say 5 dollars a month subscription fee! You a definitly a big part of my “Lost” experience. Thanks Again!
February 1st, 2006 at 9:05 pm

i’m really going to miss you both, and your outstanding podcast. thank you so much for the time you’ve offered, it was greatly appreciated.
(okay, now i’m off to pout…)
February 2nd, 2006 at 2:25 am
Aloha Ryan and Jen,
You guys are gonna be missed so very much. I am so Caught up in ABC’S Lost and your podcast has been the most wonderful compliment to the best thing that has ever been on Network TV….or Syndicated for that matter!
I did try the other podcast and The Transmission was the one that really worked for me!
I had just this pass weekend bought a cool headset/microphone so I could start sending audio files and join in the chatter.
I just want you both to know that I wish you only the best and hope someday to make it to your beautiful state and hear a familiar voice say either aloha or mahalo!!!!
Ryan and Jen (who has the greatest voice ever for a podcast) please take great care and know there is a whole community out here in cyber space that is LOST without you.
February 2nd, 2006 at 4:02 am
Mahalo,
Good Luck Guys, thanks for all that you have done.
I am glad you can go off into a beautiful Hawaiian sunset.
February 2nd, 2006 at 5:03 am
Guys,
I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that you will be remembered as pioneers of the brave new medium of podcasting! I know that when I think back years from now, it will definitely be The Transmission that I will remember that got me hooked on the whole concept. Great work and thanks for all you’ve done!
Anyway, I’d like to dedicate this song to you - not as a “going away” present - so let’s call it a “signing off” present!
