Episode 8 - The Cat in the Hat

Greetings and salutations
Friends of the show
It's TAP-G and SurferClock
Oh! The places we'll go

We apologize for the absence
It's really not our fault
We're little more than victims
Of a reality assault.

Now we go,
without further delay
To release a new episode
At this moment, today!

Here are those links
to the episode proper
we speak of a cat
in his smokestack topper!

Episode 8 - The Cat in the Hat (on Youtube)

Recording this took us
but most of the morning.
Here's the MP3 download
with our usual warnings

READ THIS BEFORE DOWNLOADING! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!: MAKE SURE YOU SCROLL DOWN! Do not click the graphics that you see at the top (it spawns a pop-up of sorts, or worse yet, an infected mplayer.exe virus! DO NOT CLICK OTHER GRAPHICS! FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS HERE!)After you SCROLL DOWN, you should see a rainbow-colored bar below the correct download button. The button itself says "SLOW Download" not "Regular Download" or other variations. Make sure you click that button, then wait the required seconds. That graphic will pop up again, but this time you need to SCROLL DOWN and click the "Click here to download" button, the small button near the bottom with the check next to it.


Episode 8 - The Cat in the Hat (MP3 Download)


We hope you enjoy
this latest concoction
we hope that you listen
using either option!

To end this blog post
it is nearly time
I promise the next one
won't entirely rhyme.

Better news regarding the podcast

Hello, listeners. SurferClock here with a few minor updates regarding "What's the Attraction?"

TAP-G and I have been facing some scheduling conflicts with our respective (paying) jobs, but soon, we will both share a day off. We'll be using Mondays for podcast stuff, so expect to see regular episodes back in full swing as soon as, perhaps, a week, maybe two. Once our schedules begin to coincide again, we can get back to normal production. We've planned ahead for a few episodes, so hopefully we can keep up this awesome 'ahead-ness' and start being weekly once more.

I also apologize for mentioning bonus material and having nothing to show for it. I just don't think anything else we have to offer would be entertaining enough to tide the masses over for the time being.

Back up from technical problems

Hello, listeners! SurferClock here, and while the site itself never went down, we were unable to produce a podcast last week due to my AC adapter having broke on my laptop. I've received the new adapter, but due to TAP-G and I's respective work schedules for this week, there may another delay, possibly a week, before a new episode comes out. We will do our best to make it up to you guys, but for now, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by no new episodes of the show. I may put some bonus content on YouTube, but I'm still considering what to put up. Bear with us, we'll be back to normal at some point.

Next episode delay

Hello, listeners. SurferClock here with a bit of bad news. Due to recent technical difficulties and a laptop AC adapter that no longer charges the laptop, Episode 8 is delayed. We are hoping that this will only be a slight delay, and we will continue to keep you informed on further developments. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the recently developed YouTube channel! It can be found in the previous post.

Exciting development! New way to listen!

SurferClock here, along with TAP-G, delivering some exciting news about "What's the Attraction?", so read on!

Since we've started the podcast, we've always had a bit of a dicey distribution method. SlingFile's given our few dedicated listeners mixed results, and while it does seem to be getting to our listeners (through veeeery specific instructions! Seriously, take them seriously), it's a clunky interface leaving much to be desired.

Starting this evening (in fact, right now!), our listeners can now use the power of YouTube to listen to the episodes! That's right, you don't even have to download MP3 files to listen any more. You can go to the brand-spankin'-new YouTube channel and select any episode you like to listen to at your leisure.

What's the Attraction? YouTube Channel

Some of the larger episodes are segmented for more convenient download times, each being no longer than 15 minutes. Episodes 1 - 7 are available through YouTube, and subsequent uploads will now have both the SlingFile and YouTube methods for listening, with both links being posted on the blog, giving users the freedom to watch on YouTube or to download via SlingFile (for convenience of putting onto MP3 players, iPods, and the like).

We hope that our channel will make listening to "What's the Attraction?" easier and more convenient than before. If you have any opinions, questions, or comments, you can also post to specific episodes, though we still welcome feedback through our other communication channels as well.

Thank you all, as always, for showing your support, listening in, and enjoying the podcast. We hope to hear from you, and that you continue to enjoy our podcast.
