Hey, do you get a piece of the action if I buy music on Amazon by clicking on your links above?
I buy my albums on Amazon MP3 because I really don’t need a CD and its nice and portable for all devices.
Anyways, if you do get a piece of the action I’ll try to make sure I click a link on here before buying from now on.

A great rundown of the 00’s… You have certainly made work all that more entertaining over the last few weeks.
Keep up the good work.

Jason: Somehow missed your question a few days ago. Yes, I do get some of the action. Not a lot, but some. I’m hoping it grows over time, and I can actually make at least some fraction of a living doing this!
JD: Thanks, and welcome to here.

Dave, I’ve noticed over the past couple weeks that it’s taking a really long time for the podcasts to load up or DL. When streaming I can’t get through the first twenty second before it stops and buffers some more. I tried to DL the podcast and the estimated time was over four hours. I have a 12 mbps connection so I don’t think my computer/connection is the problem. Any ideas?

It’s a lot better now!

Glad to hear it, Kirk! I somehow missed your first post about the problem you were having, and I can’t think of what would have caused it on this end (I don’t own my own server or anything). Anyhow, I’m working on my best of 2010 episode, it should be up over the weekend! Take care.
