Great show, thanks for looking at this from a business point of view.

You are correct in saying that the website could do with a update, and given our booth kit needs a revamp this would be a great time for a refresh. Anyone with design skills please step forward.

The intro and outro are specifically chosen to be calming to meet the communities requirement that the music should not wake people up who listen to podcasts when going to sleep.

I'm not sure how you fall into the mistaken belief that we only have an IRC channel, that we don't engage with the community, and we avoid corporate technology. On every footer of every page on the site is a list of social media outlets that we are active on. We actively engage on the Mailing list, Mastodon, Matrix, Mumble, IRC #oggcastplanet, X (Formally Twitter), Facebook and Linked-In. 

Soon to be added will be our Telegram, and YouTube channels. 

The actual answer to "Why don't we have a discord?", is because nobody has volunteered to do it - until now ;-)

If you are willing to set it up and manage it; then feel free to do so, and send us the link and we will happily add it to the site.
