What is a podcast? A "podcast" is nothing more than an Internet-based show, regardless of whether it's audio or video. This technology has been around for over a decade but only recently has surged in popularity. Contrary to the name, you do not need an iPod or MP3 player to listen to it. Because this podcast is just an MP3 file, you can listen to the show using any MP3-capable player or click on the "Podcast" icon. To download, right-click on the "Download MP3" icon, and click "Save As..."

Podcast delayed due to health reasons
Due to some pretty scary complications from my bronchitis (more details in the audio) and a continual presence of fluids in my throat, I am unable to get show #48 out in time for the Memorial Day weekend. I have an appointment with an ear/nose/throat specialist on Tuesday to try to find out what's happening. Until then, I'm afraid that the podcast is on hold until I can find out what's going on. Sorry, folks.
