    Audacity has given me back exactly what I paid for it!

    Ack!  I had episode 6 completely recorded, edited, and mixed.  I had periodically saved my work.  And I was saving my final edit in preparation to upload to libsyn when Audacity decided it was hungry and munched not just the file I was working on but every single file that even had a similar name!!  Please bear with me.  I hope to have the episode up tonight but realistically, unless I can streamline the editing process down from 3 hours to 1.5 hours, it will most likely be up tomorrow.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.  Stupid Audacity!

        Delay in episode 4

        Hey everyone,
        I am stuck in a snowstorm in Pennsylvania, USA and I was unable to record episode 4 to get it posted. Since my recorder is home in NY, I won't be able to record until at least tomorrow night (Sunday night). I'm sorry if this is inconvenient. I'm bummed but at least we are safe, warm, and with family. The show will be posted in a couple of days. Thanks! P.S. Thank you to my mother-in-law's iPad so that I could post this. Talk to you soon!
