The Mail Buoy Episode 3

Posted by Michael on 07/23/06

It is that time of the week, Episode number 3 is online and ready for your downloading pleasure!

This week we are talking about your safety and security while cruising, and we did run a little long… But with the incident this past week onboard Crown Princess combined with all of the attention that these issues have gotten in the last several months, we thought that this was an important topic to discuss.

The notes from the week:

It looks like the iTunes problems are fixed, you can find the show on iTunes here, or click here to download it.

Finally a quick programming note for Episode 4. There’s a possibility it could be a day late. Patricia’s headed to San Jose for Blogher next weekend and may not be back in time for our normal recording session.

Fixed It… I think

Posted by Michael on 07/21/06

I think I’ve fixed the issue we were having with iTunes and the podcast, it looks like both episodes are showing up now.  Obviously we have more work to do in order to truely make the podcast look pretty up on iTunes, it’s all about babysteps :)  Next up on my list of things to break fix is getting that graphic that I designed for the podcast to show up in iTunes.

 By all accounts it should be an easy task, but for some reason something just isn’t cooperating…

 Special thanks to db from dbmini.us and whiteroofradio.com for helping us resolve our issues!

Podcast Feed Issues

Posted by Michael on 07/20/06

You may have noticed that our two podcast episodes have disappeared from iTunes.  We’re not sure what’s going on, but we’re working on it.

We hope to have everything sorted out by Sunday when we publish episode three.
