'''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]]. 

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 "[[FeedBurner Page|subscribe]]" in the NavBar.

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

'''Release Date:''' January 30, 2006, updated January 10, 2008

==Transcript for Podstar Runner 2008 Emails==
[[Image:Podstar08.png|thumb|Decisions, decisions.]]

'''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}''

[[Image:PodstarFacePrint.png|thumb|"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.
*[[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 [[Wikipedia:chamois leather|chamois]] (pronounced "shamee"), 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 [[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]].
*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.

===Inside References===
*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. The albums that are selected are ''[[more armies|Shady Missionaries]]'', ''[[Teen Girl Squad 13|deliberance]]'' and ''[[bottom 10|Feed the Childrens]]'', before settling on the [[Strong Bad Email]] option.
