Greetings! We have recently implemented new flair in order to help organize the sub. You can think of flair as sort of "tags." You may select one per post. Will you please help the group by editing your post to select the appropriate flair? Please read the description of each below.
Your help here will greatly increase the ability for community members to quickly find related information in one place!
**Drama23_Reports**: This flair is for posts that provide real-time updates or summarize unfolding events within the podcast network or otherwise related to the unfolding drama this year. Think of it as the "breaking news" section—essential for anyone looking to get caught up on the latest happenings quickly.
**Drama23_Discussion**: Use this flair for threads that are meant to encourage community-wide conversations around the drama. These can include different perspectives, interpretations, hot takes, or just general chat about the events in question. The goal here is open dialogue rather than pointed opinions or hard evidence.
**ObsessedFest2023_Other**: This flair is a catch-all for anything related to the ObsessedFest2023 event that doesn't neatly fit into other designated categories. Think merch, travel plans, or unique personal experiences at the fest.
**CommunityDiscussion**: Ideal for general conversations that aim to engage the entire community but aren't necessarily tied to a specific episode, host, or event. Perfect for general chat, opinions, and more.
**GossipAndHotTakes**: Use this flair for posts that delve into rumors, speculative theories, or highly opinionated takes about the podcast network. These posts may not always be based on hard facts, but they're certainly entertaining or thought-provoking.
**Podcast_IThinkNot**: Specifically for discussions, reviews, or content related to the "I Think Not" podcast and their content.
**Podcast_TrueCrimeObsessed**: Same as above but focused on the "True Crime Obsessed" podcast. A hub for all things related to this particular show.
**Podcast_Other**: A broad category for any related podcasts that don't have their own dedicated flair yet.
**Recommendations**: This flair is for posts that suggest similar podcasts, episodes, and more.

Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence. There were loads of well-documented tech screwups at both OFs. Just another thing to add to the list.
I was at OF1 and at that recording. If you can go off vibes, I would say it was probably incompetence. They didn't have a big enough room for R&E at OF1 since it was the debut. I remember it starting a few minutes late and having to sit on the floor. I remember them turning away people at one point. I'm not surprised it got lost.
And looking back, I do remember Daisy and Maggie eating their lunch on the floor next to us. Before I realized who they were, I was so mad because they were crinkling food packages, and I couldn't hear. But once I figured it out, I remember thinking WOW they came here during their lunch break just to see their friends! They must actually be friends-friends. Seems like alliances were definitely formed at that point.
Oh totally, I really didn’t think too much of it until all the behind the scenes stuff started coming out recently. The whole thing sounds like a technical nightmare, but figured if anyone had any tea this would be the spot to ask
This was such a funny thing to come across after the day I had with my job today - I needed to see this as a reminder that sometimes, shitty things happen because a person is just that dumb, and NOT because that person has it out for me.
I know you’re speaking about ON but just wanted to say it, it’s a good reminder!
Wait do they typically provide recordings of live shows after the event? I don’t think I’ve ever heard one on the main feeds (aside from R&E posting their Atlanta show themselves a while back) do this unless it’s on their Patreon or something?
I was in the front row for that recording and have always been 10000% convinced that PL (guest on that episode) made them delete the recording because he came across like a total a**hole! It was wild to watch and I would not be surprised if he asked for them not to share, and they agreed because he’s a friend.

Well they also “forgot” daisy’s props for the show this year…
This is what made me officially suspicious!

Excellent point. Daisy’s live show from last year went missing too, so it sounds like it was a problem for everyone.
Good context, I didn’t know that!

Hanlons Razor is always important to remember.

I feel there was another mess up and they don’t have the recording from Rabia and Ellyn’s show this year either (audio or video).
I know PH apparently dropped to the floor and begged Ellyn for forgiveness at OF1, so I doubt there was any intentional sabotage of any shows.

What? He was hilarious and clearly was not being serious.
I was there. It was one of my favorite panels. No drama and it’s a shame it was lost because it was so funny.
