Way back in September, we said we’d be back soon. Well, so much for that. SarahKat’s been really busy up north, and never had a chance to do it. But her situation’s changed, and she’s got some more time now, so the good news is:

We recorded a new episode!

That was a couple of weeks ago. Which leads to the bad news:

It’s not posted yet.

Well, duh. But here’s the trouble: SarahKat’s iBook isn’t doing well. In fact, it’s downright senile. It can’t get online, and it seems it can’t recognize a flash drive properly either. Her half of the show is in there, somewhere, but we can’t seem to get it out. The further good news is that she’s got a new laptop (the further bad news: it’s a PC), so we’ll be able to do shows fine from now on. But I’d like to be able to put that show up too. We’ll see.

In the meantime, stay on the lookout for new shows. Honestly. :)

Season 2 is coming...

That's right, we've declared podbankruptcy (or maybe just retroactive summer vacation). Season 2 of Jesus on the Radio will begin this fall. And when it does, look out.

Jesus on the Radio, Season 2
Now with 50% less Jesus!

By the way, if you're not subscribed, just add this url to your podcatcher, or just click here to subscribe in iTunes. You'll get the first episode of season 2 the moment it comes out!

You know, when libsyn.com doesn't even autocomplete in your address bar anymore, you know it's been a while since your last post. So is this just another apologetic no-really-we're-going-to-podcast-again-I-promise post? In a word, kinda.

If you heard the last (mini-)show (and I hope you did), you'll know that SarahKat is in quite the transition at the moment. No, she's not becoming a man, just moving. But moving very far away under some very tricky circumstances.

I'll be honest, I don't even know where she is anymore, but she's almost certainly in Maine, and not quite in an apartment yet. I'd ask her, but she's never online, and last time she was she said she'd do a show with me last Wednesday...

All in all, it's been a chaotic summer. We're even losing some listeners because of it. But that's ok. We'd rather have the best listeners than the most listeners, and you--oh person who hasn't yet had the heart to give up on us--you are one of those listeners.

Thank you.

Transmission will resume shortly. In the meantime, tune into Bucket. I just found them, and couldn't not subscribe. Great show.

A special surprise mini-podcast from deep in the woods of Western Massachussets! I'm all by my irrationally-afraid-of-serial-killers-getting-me-in-the-night lonesome in Amherst, en route to a somewhat more permanent dwelling in Maine. Won't it be neat when I'm not moving all the time? I sure think so. Since Peter and I continue to be tens, if not dozens, of miles away from one another's computers (and each other), I decided to surprise my cohost and wonderful listeners with a brief glimpse into my hilariously (read: tragically) mobile life. Keep checking back for proper shows, but enjoy my ranting until then!

Oh, and by the way? We have awesome business cards now. I made them for that convention I couldn't end up getting to. If you ever see me or Peter (you'll know us when you do, or something) ask for a card. They're super-duper!

Update (from Peter): Looks like SarahKat uploaded the wrong file.  (She's a little new to the production side of things.)  Stand by for the real thing.  I'm curious to hear it myself... :)

More Update (from SarahKat): Fixed it! I only needed a little help!

Yup, more silence over here, I'm afraid. That's what moving will do to you. I'm not moving this time--SarahKat is. I expect we won't be able to another show until she's settled in a bit at the new place, which should be long.

We can't wait to talk to you again. Thanks for sticking with us. :)

Peter

My kingdom for GarageBand! I can't stand working in Audacity any longer. It's too slow, too clunky, too destructive. Ugh.

Some errata: SarahKat, sadly, will not be at Connecticon this weekend. But then, if you're there trying to find her, you probably knew that already. Also, I'm no longer so thrilled with AppleCare. More in the next episode.

Whoa! It's someone OTHER than Peter writing on the good ol' JOTR site! And...it's me! Because no one else would write on the good ol' JOTR website...but...me. That was supposed to be really exciting, but I guess the fireworks and fanfare in my head just didn't translate into those exclamation points with sufficient bravado.

Anyhows, Peter let me in on the (stupidly simple) secret of how to update to the main page so you can hear MY side of the story, not just his. Though I guess I don't really want to shoulder the burden of doing show notes as detailed and hilarious as his, and I don't actually have anything of worth to say...Meh, let's just look at this as yet another place all my fans can hear me bitch 'n moan, and weren't you all jonesin' for that? I know I was! I'm somewhere in between near-homicide (living with family after graduating from college = very no), dank depression (I hate going weddings where you're the ONLY single person over the age of 15), blinding euphoria (Maine soon! *finally!*), and hunger. Mmm, I think we have roast beef...so I should let you return to your regularly scheduled internet browsing. Enjoy the new show, there's more to come!

(For real this time, I promise.)

(Man, I sure do use a lot of brackets and ellipses...)

We did it! A brand new show from our new studios. SK can record on her computer, so look for shows more regularly. This show was recorded over a week ago, and I couldn't get it up until now thanks to my computer issues. I'm using my girlfriend's computer, which doesn't have GarageBand, so I've spent the week wrestling with Audacity.

But no matter, the show is here. Thanks for staying subscribed. It means a lot to know you listen. And to that end, please:

Leave us a message: (206) 666-JOTR

Or send us an email, or leave us a comment. That's what drives the show.

A spot of bad luck. My hard drive is down. Something about the directory being messed up. What's worse, I mey have lost even more data by running the fix-it program Apple gave me. Le sigh.

Still, cheer up: SarahKat will be here Wednesday (for certain) and we will record a show. With my computer out, it might take a little work to get it up, but we'll do it for you, lovely listener. We'll also set SK up so we can podcast together remotely, wherever we are.

Good things are coming. Thanks for staying subscribed!

This week (who are we kidding) on Jesus on the Radio: a flashback. SK’s still not around, so Peter digs deep into the archives and pulls up a gem from the old WXBC days. It originaly aired Oct. 23, 2005.

We really will have an all new show up soon, I promise.
