Episode 84: Rhinebeck

Unfortunately, I am not able to embed this week’s episode at this time.  (My PC has come down with a rather nasty virus.).  I’ll update as soon as possible, but until then the Rhinebeck Recap will only be available on ITunes and blip http://blip.tv/thefatsquirrelspeaks/rhinebeck-6672565.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Episode 83: Spore Shanghai

Many apologies for the frightful audio quality of this week’s episode. If you are a new viewer, please know this is abnormal and should not happen in the future. I would typically record the episode again, but my voice is all froggy and now there are people chainsawing everywhere. Really, I’m not even kidding. They are chainsawing!

I’ve decided to put the episode up as is because I love my podcasters so much, I’m willing to endure the occasional technical wonkiness, but I completely understand if you are not equally crazy. Just pretend this week’s episode was canceled due to Rhinebeck traveling. I promise I didn’t say much of anything. Unless of course you’re from the midwest and your family calls bell peppers mangoes. If you’re that person, you should probably listen. Or at least google “mangoes called bell peppers”.

There are no show notes this week.  Hush.  It’s free.

Have a lovely week everyone!

Where’s the Episode?

Alas, there will be no episode this week.  It seems that when I can find the time, I can’t find the energy, and when I can find the energy, well, you see where this is going.  All is well and I’m in good health, this week is simply proving a bit more hectic than I had anticipated.

I thank you all ever so much for your continued support!

Much love,

Amy Beth
