Bandwidth Exceeded

Seems the demand has exceeded the supply.

I knew this was coming.

So if you have been trying to get to The Best Radio You Have Never Heard and are getting that error notice it is real.
(I think you can still get thru using Yahoo (the link on the left or http://podcasts.yahoo.com/series?s=05f1e05370d4aae85e4a2153a2cfc3c7 ) and I am not sure but it is possible that iTunes might still break thru)

Steps are being taken to fix the problem but it is not going to be a painless transition.

Help has arrived by the way of Steve Jobs announcement at the Mac World Expo this past Tuesday. Apple has begun hosting podcasts which offers a much greater bandwidth with a very good price.

I am going to explore this opportunity rapidly and soon may have a new home.

What does this mean to you ?

Well if you are a subscriber, there will be a new RSS address (the .xml url) which you will have to manually change in iTunes or whichever pod catcher you use.

There will also be a new url for the home page for those who download from there (and you are all downloading the files instead of just playing them, right ?)

And I need everybody's help once the change has been made to get the word out about the new home. So please pass along all the info as it happens to anybody you may have turned on to the podcast or anyone you know who is a listener

Please stay tuned to this page as I will have info posted here as soon as I get things sorted (I actually need a nap right now)
