New Episode this week! Plus: Episodes 7 and 8...

Dear listeners,

I am happy to announce that we will have a new episode live before the end 2006. Independent radio producer Sue Mell from San Francisco has joined forces with Boston based composer Dylan Ris to bring us a Hannukah story.

Yes, I know Hannukah ended Friday night. Sorry about that. You have no idea how hard it is to book a composer around the Holidays.

But on to other matters...

I have noticed a trend in people's downloading habits. As you may recall, last year David and I put together a 20 minute Christmas carol called "A Christmas Catalogue." Because of the length, we broke it into two parts. As it turns out, Part 1 is one of our most downloaded episodes of all time, while Part 2 is one of the least.

The only explanations I can come up with for this are:

a) people hate Part 1 and have no interest in Part 2.

or

b) people like part 1, but assume Part 2 is simply more of the same.

Assuming "a" is untrue (since there's not thing I can do about that, and anyway, this guy loved it), I want everyone to know that Part 2 is actually quite different, includes a better singer, more adult stories, a techno version of the song, and is all around a better piece of listening.

So if you didn't hate Part 1, please take a moment and listen to Part 2 by clicking here.

And think about starting a new family tradition where everyone gathers around the iPod to listen to "A Christmas Catalogue."

Happy Holidays everyone!
