A couple of people have asked after I tried a couple of prototype broadcasts last month, so just FYI: I haven't abandoned the podcast idea.
In fact, I've run two prototype pods and feel pretty much ready to go. The sticking point right now is with setting up a stable hosting place, so y'all can subscribe and have it be there week in and week out.
Once I get that working (I have to get my domains in order; they're scattered across the four corners of the intertubes and are probably attracting moths or something), we will be up & running, and then, well, it's another something, anyway. And all these somethings add up. Or so I have read.
