A little update on upcoming neat things from me- including Podcamp AZ, Election Day, and of course talking about the Podcast Awards!

Then, part 2 of my talk with Dave, and answering Nobilis' voicemails. I have to give special thanks to Nobilis for leaving such great voicemails and giving us so much to talk about!

Back to a more regular format next episode- headlines shall return! :-)

I'm really glad someone emails me about these things- otherwise I'd never know!

Yes, Seekers, the show has been nominated for another award. This one is the Podcast Award, which is also called the "People's Choice" award, since anyone can vote!

I must be doing something right, because I never in a brazillion years would have expected to be nominated for such a popular award.  Frankly I'm up against so many great shows, well, let's just say I'm practicing my "It's good just to be nominated" speech. ;-)

You can see all the nominated shows in all of the categories right here:

Voting begins On Thursday (the 23rd). You can vote once-a-day, every day through November 6th.

Thanks to those who nominated me- it means a lot. It always does. :-)

Back from San Diego- and realized I had no time to write a show this week.

Soooo.... I called up my partner in crime Dave and we chatted for a bit, because it's easier to talk to someone else with no script than alone. A bit ended up being an hour and a half! The hate machine kept churning over the past couple of weeks, so we started in on that, and began listening to voicemail from Nobilis. There is PLENTY more coming in part 2, but for now I give you Part 1.

Recorded Wednesday, October 15th.
