IMPORTANT: FEED IS CHANGING!!!

I am going to be switching hosts starting with the new year. As soon as the feed actually changes I will post again and announce it. I will also be posting a special audio message with the same information. For those who listen to the show here at the site, it won't really change anything. Well we probably won't have that nice flash player, though I am working with my Flash gurus to make that happen too.

This will mostly affect those of you to subscribe through iTunes. itunes is somewhat cryptic and I have been trying to gracefully migrate the feed without success. Therefore it will probably be necessary to take down the itunes feed and re-list it. I'll keep you informed, but if the show suddenly disappears from iTunes you can resubscribe right here, or wait for it to re-appear on iTunes.

Thanks everybody!

Christmas Show in the Works: Need some help

I'm still put some of the finishing touches on the new format, and working on the relaunch, but this weekend I am going to put together the first Holiday special. Normally, I'm not a holiday special kind of guy but I thought this could be a last hurrah for the music (which will be severely curtailed in the new format) and there is so much really great holiday music out there in the Podsafe realm. I swear, if I have to hear Jingle Bell Rock one more time my head will explode. I promise that the music will be nothing you've heard before and stuff that is good enough to live on my iPod even when it is NOT Christmas. Or Hanukkah. Or Diwali. (I know, Diwali was last month, but what a great holiday anyway!)

If you can, please send me an MP3 audio file of your holiday greeting. Something to your brothers all over the earth, and I'll play it. Or write something, either via email, or here in the comments and I will read it. It is a little gift while you are waiting for the relaunch. I'll put the Holiday show together this weekend and release it next week (probably thursday).
