'''Podstar Runner''' is a collection of cartoons transferable to a video capable [[Wikipedia:portable media player|portable media player]] (such as a [[Wikipedia:iPod (5G)|fifth-generation iPod]]), in [[Wikipedia:MPEG-4 Part 14|.m4v]] format. [[Podstar Runner 2006|The original version]] was released in 2006, simultaneously with the email [[technology]]. A [[Main Page message]] on January 7th, 2008, indicated that podcasts would return the following Thursday. As promised, the Podstar Runner page had the email [[looking old]] available for download.  The collection currently only includes Strong Bad Emails released chronologically in 2007 and 2008.

'''Podstar Runner''' is a collection of cartoons transferable to a video capable [[Wikipedia:portable media player|portable media player]] (such as a [[Wikipedia:iPod (5G)|fifth-generation iPod]]), in [[Wikipedia:MPEG-4 Part 14|.m4v]] format. It was released simultaneously with the email [[technology]]. Originally a collection of [[Strong Bad Email]]s, [[Teen Girl Squad]] episodes were added on March 6, 2006 under the name ''Teen Girl Squadcast''. On April 12, 2006, the Toon [[Everybody to the Limit]] was released.  On March 1, 2007, a "podcast" button was added to the navbar at the bottom of the Homestar Runner site, yet the "sbemail podcast!" button continued to appear at the end of the message cycle every week until July 16, 2007. Podstar Runner is usually updated Thursdays, along with the three weeklies buttons.

The service was discontinued in September 2007 with a note saying "Podcasts are gone for now. We'll tell them you were thinking about 'em though."
+
The service was discontinued in October 2009, after "podcast" was replaced by "[[FeedBurner Page|subscribe]]" in the NavBar. The original domain for the site (podstar.homestarrunner.com) was removed somewhere after August 14, 2017, the day that [[too cool]] came out and was replaced by an archive of the site on that date. The site itself has moved to [[Podstar:|old.homestarrunner.com/podcast/]].

===Trivia===
===Trivia===

+

-
*The podcast "Strong Bad Email" became #1 on February 20, 2006.

+
-
*The podcast was featured on the Podcasts main page on iTunes in the "New and Notable" section on February 19, 2006.
+
-
*Around March 5, 2006, the name of the podcast changed from "Strong Bad Email" to "Strong Bad Emails and More!" due to the addition of the Teen Girl Squadcast.
+
-
*The battery meter in the intro for the Strong Bad Emails is relatively full, while the hand-drawn intro for Teen Girl Squadcast's battery meter is almost empty.
+
-
*One of the keywords for the Teen Girl Squadcast episodes is "arrowed", an obvious reference to the [[Arrow'd Guy]].
+
-
*The binary number in the summary for [[technology]] converts to 3,341,564,587.
+
-
*The old page title read "Podstar Runner Come On And Come On, Ya'll"<!--sic-->, which was a reference to the [[Strong Bad Email Intros|email intro]] of [[rampage]].
+
-

+
===Remarks===
===Remarks===
-
[[Image:Podstar Runner menu.PNG|thumb|The original Podcast website!]]
+
*None of the clickable Easter eggs from the original versions of the emails are present.
-
*For some reason, the clock at the top of the iPod screen reads 8:04 before and after the toon, even though the toon may last more than 1 minute.
+
*The menu displays an iPod Touch.
-
*With the exception of [[Homsar]]'s appearance in [[dragon]], none of the clickable Easter eggs from the original versions of the emails are present.
+
*Until [[email thunder]] the preview images used to advertise the 2008 series of podcasts have been exactly the same as their corresponding pages on the Homestar Runner Wiki. The preview image used for email thunder's podcast was originally on the email's article but was later replaced.
-
**All the Easter eggs (except for "She Likes Cloth" from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12|issue #12]]) in the [[Teen Girl Squad]] issues are present, and play automatically, as does the Peasant's Quest Preview egg.
+
*In the 2008 ending, "shimmy cloth" is a mispronunciation of [[Wikipedia:chamois leather|chamois]] (pronounced "sham-WAH"), the common name for soft leather used for polishing glass and other reflective surfaces.
-
*The notice on the main page originally said "sbemail podcast!" but it was later changed to "sbemails on ipod!". This was most likely changed after noting that Podstar Runner was not truly a [[Wikipedia:Podcasting|podcast]], due to the videos not being broadcast through a [[Wikipedia:RSS (file format)|RSS feed]] [[Wikipedia:Web syndication|syndication]]. As of February 6, 2006, however, an official RSS feed has been released making Podstar Runner an actual podcast. On March 5, 2006, it was changed to "teen girl squadcast!" in response to the new feature.
+
-
*The sound quality in the iPod version of [[bottom 10]] seems to drop to the "Flash file" level after the appearance of Wet [[The Cheat]]. There also seems to be a minor sound bug while Strong Bad has the jibblies. Furthermore, on the dry T-shirt flyer, the [[font]] Snap ITC has been replaced with what appears to be Arial (same thing for the font for Chocolardiac Arrest).
+
-
*The podstar.homestarrunner.com server doesn't have the [[404'd]] page set up; incorrect URLs will get the standard [[Wikipedia:404 error|404]] error page instead.
+
-
*The filename for dragon is "[[trogdor]]," not "dragon."
+
-
*Due to the size and resolution of the iPod's screen, [[virus]]'s Navbar is removed, and its "widescreen" effects removed by [[Wikipedia:Pan and scan|pan and scan]].
+
-
*On February 27, 2006, Podstar Runner ceased downloads of all the previously available Strong Bad Emails and only allowed downloads of the most recent Podcast. A notice on the page read "due to bandwidth doodoo, we're doing one at a time for now." It was fixed on March 3, 2006, and all the emails could be downloaded again.
+
-
*[[Everybody to the Limit]], [[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]], and [[An Important Rap Song]] are played with the email intro and ending despite the fact that they're all not Strong Bad Emails.
+
-
*In the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]] podcast, the "It's Over!" card appears after the Strong Bad Easter Egg to match the endings of the other issues.
+
-
*In [[death metal]], the email intro seems to be a little extended. Plus, the "shee-doot" sound is omitted when Strong Bad signs off of Video Thyme.
+
-
*Every time an email was added to the website's episode list from 2006-2007, another one that has been released for quite some time was removed because the maximum capacity for the list of emails was 18. This also happened on the podcast on iTunes itself.
+
-
*The [[Peasant's Quest Preview]] showed up on the Podstar directory before getting added to the iTunes podcast page.
+
-
*While the iPod in the background is meant to be a [[Wikipedia:IPod#Fifth generation|fifth generation]] model, the headphone port is placed in the top center of the device like a fourth generation's, rather than  at the top right. However, as of January 10, 2008, it has been replaced with an iPod Touch.
+
-
*The Podstar Runner version of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]] features a glue stick superimposed onto the corner of the screen during the scene with the [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Shirt Folding Store Manager|Shirt Folding Store Manager]], whose hair and face are constructed from sections of a [[:Image:Mary-Kate.jpg|magazine photo]] cut and pasted onto the paper.
+
-
*Before the podcast was discontinued in September 2007, each episode came with artwork. However, episodes released since the podcasts returned have not included artwork.
+
-
**However, the preview image used to advertise the 2008 series of podcasts have been exactly as the same as their corresponding page on the Homestar Runner Wiki.
+
-
*In the 2008 ending, "shimmy cloth" is a mispronunciation of [[Wikipedia:chamois leather|chamois]] (pronounced "shamee"), the common name for soft leather used for polishing glass and other reflective surfaces.
+
===Goofs===
===Goofs===
-
[[Image:TGS9preview.PNG|thumb|The glitched preview image]]
+
*On certain browsers, the links in the NavBar did not work from the Podstar Runner menu.
-
*When the email ends and returns to the animated iPod menu, "Homestarrunner.com" is highlighted. However, the animated menu at the beginning of the email has "Email" selected. The iPod's memory should keep the selection where it was when you left it, not move back to the top.
+
*Podstar Runner's link for [[looking old]]'s podcast linked to a [[podstar:sb_email_looking_old.m4v|non-existent page]]. The working link to the podcast could only have been found on the [[podstar:podcast.xml|RSS feed]].
-
*Many of the listed file sizes are inaccurate. The [[Podstar Runner#Downloadable Emails|table below]] shows the correct file sizes.
+
*While "Click Here to Email Strong Bad strongbad@homestarrunner.com" is usually plastered over in podcasts, the Podstar version of [[the paper]] leaves the text of the Goth The Paper unaltered.
-
*The preview picture for Teen Girl Squad 9 (in iTunes) has positioning problems; everything inside the panel seems to be shifted up and to the left, overlapping the panel border.
+
**[[New Paper]] and [[The Paper]] in [[email thunder]] have unaltered text from the website version.
-
*The sound in [[crazy cartoon]] is out of sync between the intro and the ending.
+
**The text of the first [[New Paper]] to appear in [[web comics]] is altered for the Podcast version, depriving it of any relevance to Strong Bad's criticism of comics that use fan-submitted material.
-
*When you view the podcast in the iTunes Music Store, there are no dates listed for some of the emails, including [[army]], [[flag day]], [[trevor the vampire]], [[stunt double]], [[caper]], [[isp]], and [[alternate universe]].  (Dates will appear once you download them, save caper and army.) Dates aren't listed for [[Peasant's Quest Preview]] and [[Malloween Commercial]].
+
*At the end of the Podstar Runner version of [[bike thief]], the Easter egg of the Lappy slowly moving to the right starts automatically; however, it does not show Homestar Runner stealing it.
-
*The Title for "Peasant's Quest Game" is incorrect (it's supposed to be [[Peasant's Quest Preview]]).
+
*In the Podcast version of [[nightlife]], the Club Technochocolate flyer does not appear after Strong Bad's "Pwawty Cloughb" line.
-
*When [[An Important Rap Song]] was added to the list of downloadable toons, a "\" was added at the end of [[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]].
+
*In the Podcast version of [[fan club]], [[Senor Cardgage]]'s lines play against the visual of [[Homsar]]'s scene, and the audio for the following scenes of [[Strong Sad]] speaking and Strong Bad at his computer play out of sync with the animation. After Strong Bad says, "the next worst word you can couple with the word 'fan' is, you guessed it, the word 'fiction'", the DVD title card for the email and a portion of the Intro play before the "Grade A Gray Day" scene appears and the email resumes as normal.
-
*On certain browsers, the links labeled "main" and "rando" do not work from the Podstar Runner menu.
+
*In the Podcast version of [[licensed]], Homestar's line, "That junk was still my best birthdays ever", has been omitted.
-
*Podstar Runner's link for [[looking old]]'s podcast took you to a [[podstar:sb_email_looking_old.m4v|non-existent page]]. The working link to the podcast could only have been found on the [[podstar:podcast.xml|RSS feed]].
+
*In the Podcast version of [[buried]], the "Dry" in "Cold Ones Dry" is typeset using a generic font.
 +
*From September 18 2008 to November 5 2008, the Podstar Runner page featured the download link, synopsis, and picture for [[hiding]], but the title read "[[Love Poems]]".
-
===Glitches===
+
===Fixed Goofs===
-
[[Image:Two podcasts.PNG|thumb|Two podcasts]]
+
*The day the Podcast version of [[specially marked]] was released, the RSS feed updating the Sbemail Podcasts in iTunes was disabled.  The feed was reactivated on or before September 10, 2008.
-
*At the end of trevor the vampire you can see the word back fade in for a split second.
+
-
*On the navbar, you cannot click the "p" in podcast.
+
-
 
+
-
===Fixed Glitches===
+
-
*In the XML feed, the description of [[crying]] was the same as that of [[kids' book]], namely "Strong Bad seriously defaces a children's book." This has since been fixed.
+
-
*There used to be two podcasts available through iTunes Music Store: one by "Strong bad" and one by "The Brothers Chaps." Noticeably different between the two was the logo of the two podcasts, as well as the absent "Clean" marker in the second podcast. The podcast by Strong Bad has since been removed.
+
-
*When Guitar was released, all the e-mail links became the same, all leading to the guitar e-mail file. Now they have reverted back to the separate names.
+
-
*When montage was released, the link to download montage was incorrect in the XML feed, which pointed to  "sb_email_motage.m4v" instead of "sb_email_mo'''n'''tage.m4v", leaving users temporarily unable to download montage through iTunes.  This was fixed the day after.
+
-
*The date for [[theme park]] in the podcast feed was incorrectly listed as May 6, 2006 instead of June 6, 2006.
+
-
*Due to the use of [[Wikipedia:Hyperlink|relative linking]] in the navbar (and depending on the browser), clicking on any of the links on the bottom of the page will sometimes work correctly but will sometimes take you to a nonexistent page beginning with ''<nowiki>http://podstar.homestarrunner.com/</nowiki>'', with the [[Store]] being the only exception. This was fixed when "podcast" was added to the navbar.

+
*The album covers for ''[[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]'', ''[[origins|Homestar's Bread Sing Alongs]]'', ''[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2|DJ Teh Cheat b/w the New KoT]]'' and the ''[[Limozeen vs. sloshy|Limozeen/Sloshy split single]]'' are visible in the background, but not selected.

Podstar Runner

2008
2006

Strong Bad Emails and More!

Podstar Runner is a collection of cartoons transferable to a video capable portable media player (such as a fifth-generation iPod), in .m4v format. The original version was released in 2006, simultaneously with the email technology. A Main Page message on January 7th, 2008, indicated that podcasts would return the following Thursday. As promised, the Podstar Runner page had the email looking old available for download. The collection currently only includes Strong Bad Emails released chronologically in 2007 and 2008.

The service was discontinued in October 2009, after "podcast" was replaced by "subscribe" in the NavBar. The original domain for the site (podstar.homestarrunner.com) was removed somewhere after August 14, 2017, the day that too cool came out and was replaced by an archive of the site on that date. The site itself has moved to old.homestarrunner.com/podcast/.

Page Title: Podstar Runner. One a time, please.

Release Date: January 10, 2008

Transcript for Podstar Runner 2008 Emails

Decisions, decisions.

{Shows a collection of record and CD covers being scrolled through, similar to iTunes' Cover Flow, the first being Taranchula's "Shady Missionaries"}

STRONG BAD: No.

{Flips over to a record/CD cover to Peacey P's "deliberance" album}

STRONG BAD: No.

{Flips over to a picture of Strong Bad sitting at the Tandy 400 with the logo for Strong Bad Email above, written in the Tandy's default text}

STRONG BAD: No.

{Flips over to a record/CD cover of Limozeen's "Feed The Childrens"}

STRONG BAD: Wait...

{Flips back to picture of Strong Bad sitting at the Tandy with the logo for Strong Bad Email above, written in the Tandy's default text}

STRONG BAD: Yes.

{Selected email will begin}

{After selected email has finished}

"Uh-oh! Face print!"

{Strong Bad stands up in front of the record/CD covers, which become more shadowed}

STRONG BAD: Uh-oh! Face print!

{Strong Bad presses his face against the screen and leaves a smudge when he pulls his face off. Strong Bad gives a disgusted groan when he looks at it}

STRONG BAD: Uhgh. You're gonna need one of those little... shimmy cloths.

{Strong Bad leaves screen from the right and everything but the smudge fades to black}

Fun Facts

Trivia

  • The podcast is no longer available on the iTunes Store, nor is it available on Zune Marketplace.
  • The Paper reads "The End" instead of "Click here to email Strong Bad".

Remarks

  • None of the clickable Easter eggs from the original versions of the emails are present.
  • The menu displays an iPod Touch.
  • Until email thunder the preview images used to advertise the 2008 series of podcasts have been exactly the same as their corresponding pages on the Homestar Runner Wiki. The preview image used for email thunder's podcast was originally on the email's article but was later replaced.
  • In the 2008 ending, "shimmy cloth" is a mispronunciation of chamois (pronounced "sham-WAH"), the common name for soft leather used for polishing glass and other reflective surfaces.

Goofs

  • On certain browsers, the links in the NavBar did not work from the Podstar Runner menu.
  • Podstar Runner's link for looking old's podcast linked to a non-existent page. The working link to the podcast could only have been found on the RSS feed.
  • While "Click Here to Email Strong Bad strongbad@homestarrunner.com" is usually plastered over in podcasts, the Podstar version of the paper leaves the text of the Goth The Paper unaltered.
    • New Paper and The Paper in email thunder have unaltered text from the website version.
    • The text of the first New Paper to appear in web comics is altered for the Podcast version, depriving it of any relevance to Strong Bad's criticism of comics that use fan-submitted material.
  • At the end of the Podstar Runner version of bike thief, the Easter egg of the Lappy slowly moving to the right starts automatically; however, it does not show Homestar Runner stealing it.
  • In the Podcast version of nightlife, the Club Technochocolate flyer does not appear after Strong Bad's "Pwawty Cloughb" line.
  • In the Podcast version of fan club, Senor Cardgage's lines play against the visual of Homsar's scene, and the audio for the following scenes of Strong Sad speaking and Strong Bad at his computer play out of sync with the animation. After Strong Bad says, "the next worst word you can couple with the word 'fan' is, you guessed it, the word 'fiction'", the DVD title card for the email and a portion of the Intro play before the "Grade A Gray Day" scene appears and the email resumes as normal.
  • In the Podcast version of licensed, Homestar's line, "That junk was still my best birthdays ever", has been omitted.
  • In the Podcast version of buried, the "Dry" in "Cold Ones Dry" is typeset using a generic font.
  • From September 18 2008 to November 5 2008, the Podstar Runner page featured the download link, synopsis, and picture for hiding, but the title read "Love Poems".

Fixed Goofs

  • The day the Podcast version of specially marked was released, the RSS feed updating the Sbemail Podcasts in iTunes was disabled. The feed was reactivated on or before September 10, 2008.
