It has been three days since my last connection. I'm now in sunny, sunny Florida, sitting my the pool, sneaking onto someone's hot spot. Thank god for WiFi. There really was going to be a show this week-really-but you know what? It's just too much work. I'm not giving up my vacation for one extra show. I've recorded a few bits on my way down, but they're probably not worth playing. Good news is the TSA didn't try to confiscate my audio equipment. The other good news is that by the time I get back the brand new mics will be waiting for me. And your ears will feel that much better for it. BTW, thanks to everyone who's signed our listener map so far: Anna, Stridey, David, Victoria (who wins for distance), Shagg, Kelly, Chris, and our two newest members Brian and Colleen. Thanks, guys! You make it all worthwhile.

It's another show! Finally! I just ordered two brand spankin' new XM8500s (those are microphones, BTW), so maybe that'll motivate us to do the show on a more, shall we say, existent schedule. Anyhow, it's a great show despite the mics. We have a special guest, a new sound effect, and no notes. We're flying by the seat on of our collective pants in this week's show, where you'll hear SarahKat say: "I've decided that my gut has shit for brains." Peter (PS, Update: I got really, really confused when I explained what music we were going to play during the show. Somewhere along the line I forgot all about the first song we mentioned, by Andrew K. Stone, et al. We'll play it next time. I promise. In the mean time, check the show notes below to be sure of what we did play.) Show notes:

I should have posted earlier: no show this (last) week. We recorded one on Tuesday, but the recording nevver came out. I bought some neew equipment today, though, so this (coming) week's show will almost certainly work out correctly. We're also probably in the market for new mics. Let me know if you know whether the Behringer XM8500 is as good as some people say (some claim it's slightly better than an SM58). In other news, we may or may not have a slot at WXBC. More on that in the next episode.

I just went to Barnes and Noble and finally spent what turned out to be over $100 in old gift cards. My initial hope had been to get the first two issues of MAKE Magazine, but as they didn't have back issues, I went looking for something else intriguing. How could I pass up Michael Geohegan and Dan Klass's Podcast Solutions? At first I thought we might be beyond what it covers, but Podcast Solutions covers not only the basics of recording, but also more general tips on how to put together an entertaining and engaging show. I'll let you know what I think once I get into it.

Hey, guys, we're back for more. And so are you. How delightful. This show is more or less about Soccergirl. Yes that Soccergirl. Why? You'll just have to listen, won't you? Very cool announcements, weird news stories, and a scanner you'll have to near to believe are all in this edition of our weekly podcast. Enjoy! Peter (PS, For those who don't know, "weekly" is a technical podcasting term coined by Scott Fletcher. It means "every so often when we manage to get a show together".) Show notes:
