Technical Difficulties
With Podcast Feed

Just a quick note to all of you out there having
trouble downloading our podcast. No, there's nothing
wrong with your computer. We, along with many other
podcasters, use a service called Libsyn to deliver
our podcast feed. Libsyn makes our life easy because
it provides low cost storage, configures the RSS
feed, and integrates with iTunes. Unfortunately, it
appears that Libsyn is going through some growing
pains and as of the time I write this post has gone
completely down. We've had some minor problems off
and on for a few weeks and have heard reports from
other podcasters about sporadic outages. We have no
information right now as to what's going on or how
long it will take to resolve the issues. Libsyn has
been a great service for us up until this point so
we're inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt
for now. Of course, if this continues then we'll have
to look at other options.
We know that we're not the only podcasters being
impacted by this issue, in fact as I look at my
podcasts in iTunes I see about a third of them are
giving me error messages. For now we ask for your
patience and hopefully these issues will be resolved
in the near future. For the time being, you can
always download the MP3 version from our website, or
subscribe to our MP3 feed using the XML link to the
right which is hosted off our server. Thank you for
your patience and understanding. Stay
subscribed...we're not going anywhere.
