i admit it. i fell asleep last night at 7:30pm. when ryan woke me up at 9 to ask if i had to record a podcast, i snapped at him, so he left me alone. i woke up at 2am, totally confused, and sorry for letting my thursday morning commuters down.
i’ll record this evening, so you can have an enjoyable friday morning commute instead!
sorry about that.

okay, so episodes 1-49 are available up there on a tab that says “Podcast Archive!!!” and there are instructions for downloads.
unfortunately, quite a few of them have the “mypodcast.com” add at the beginning. why? because i had my computer crash and unfortunately lost a lot of the original recordings. *sigh* so i uploaded the original ones i have. the rest i had to download and re-upload to this server.
sorry about that.
anyway, episode 50-current are available on the new feed. if you haven’t already, please make the switch to the new feed. i can’t get mypodcast.com to accept any new episodes. i’ve been trying to upload files for almost a week now. i think their servers have finally bit the dust.
click on the upper left where it says “Podcast via RSS” or “Podcast via iTunes” to make the change.
it’s painless! i promise!

been trying for the past 2 days to get mypodcast.com to upload. they are having errors on their end, and i’m not the only podcaster with problems right now. unfortunately, they don’t offer technical support, so if it doesn’t go, all i can do is try again later.
so, i’ll keep you posted!
otherwise, i really think it’s time to switch to that new feed!!
in the upper left over there, there is a section on my sidebar that says “feed on!”.
you can choose to subscribe to the feed via rss, or via itunes. click the links, and it’ll take you where you need to go.
i don’t know that mypodcast.com is going to be around much longer. it’s just slowly grinding to a halt, so i’d REALLY suggest moving over ASAP!

i have been trying over and over and over and over and over again since last night to get the new podcast uploaded on mypodcast.com
i will continue trying over and over and over and over and over again to get it to upload.
BUT
if you want to listen to it now, it easily uploaded and will easily download from the new podcast feed.
maybe it’s time for a change?
