Once again I am way behind in posting new programs, and I apologize once again.  I have been so busy with other things going on that I haven't found much time to work on programs.  So, here is what I propose to do.

I will post 2 archive shows every other Sunday or so.  I'm going to start at the beginning.  Later on today or early tomorrow I will post archive shows 1 and 2.  Whenever I get the time, I will put together a new show and post that as well, leave that up for at least a couple weeks and try to get another one together.

I have also had several folks let me know that they miss being able to tell exactly what song is playing when, as you could in the old streaming mp3 format.  I appreciated that feature too, but with podcasting as it is now there's no way to do that.  I wish I could do podcasts and streaming, but I just don't have the server space.  I will continue podcasting for now until enough people let me know that they would prefer I go back to the old streaming format.

At any rate, stay tuned for archive shows 1 and 2 to be appearing soon!  Thanks for all your enthusiasm and support!
