Just a reminder that we've got some serious audio fun in the pipes.  Give some love to the following folk, so they keep sharing their genius with us:

Nocturnal by Scott Sigler

Playing for Keeps by Mur Lafferty

...and this bit of insanity from Indiana Jim.

The weather's turning colder (at least...  here in the States), but the content is getting hotter.

I know most of you are already fans and regular listeners of Steve Eley's fantastic podcast, Escape Pod.  But if you have not already listened to EP126, you need to.  The Sweet, Sad Love Song of Fred and Wilma is a fun bit of escapism.  It is rated X for sexual content, and I understand that.  But its not graphic.  Certainly not for younger audiences, but a fantastic story, none the less. 

So many of the weekly offerings are fun.  But I don't think I have enjoyed an Escape Pod offering this much since EP015, Hell Notes.  Do yourself a favor, and be sure to check out The Sweet, Sad Love Song of Fred and Wilma.

Alright...  Spoiler alert:  This is going to be this week's "Cookie", but I wanted to get the invite code out now.  If you want to join the Mopcast Banditos in our quest to vanquish evil dust bunnies, and villainous vegetable gardens, come visit chore wars dot com and use this code to join our party.  Hope to see you there.

If you are reading this on March 22, 2007...  Please consider heading over to iTunes and buying the song MINE AGAIN from the indie/podsafe-friendly band Black Lab.  More details available at www.bumrushthecharts.com - ok ?  Thanks.  See you in a few days with a brand new episode.

Glad we are going during Epcot's 25th.  Disappointed Disney is not giving the "props".  I love this logo, so I'm making a post.  Because I can.

Wanna play Diablo 2 with other fans of the show ?  Then lets do this...  When going online to Battle Net create (or look for) a game named:

acresgame   ~   pwd: boy

I never know when I'll be on, but if a number of us are playing, what a great way to game socially.  See you in the caves !

Please pardon the delay.  Show 51 is coming.  But my butt is totally thrashed after this weekend.  A twelve and a ten hour day driving have takenb it out on me.  Not to mention the convention.  Which I will discuss in Episode 51. 

 

It'll be up late today.  Thanks for your patience.

 

Doug (too pooped to Roll Out)

I have used the Libsyn "scheduled release" on numerous occassions.  Each time with no problems.  So I have no freakin' idea what happened this week.

Honestly.  The show has been in the hopper ready to roll.  I dunno.  Regardless, sorry about the mid-week release.  If anything, I should have just put it out EARLY so I knew it was done and available.

Its like I tell users at the job site.  Computers are a wonderful thing...  when they WORK.  *sigh*    Show 39 is expected to be released in a timely fashion, barring technical SNAFUs.  Now you know...  etc, and so on.

Ok, as promised...  here's what I'm digging right now, Podcast wise.  Nearly all of them are available via iTunes.  The rest certainly should sought out fairly easily.  Anyone say Google ?  As they appear in my podcatcher's listing:

There are some weeks that not everybody gets the love they should, but podcasts have taken over my daily commute and some of my "alone time" at work.  I love my iPod.  :-)
