Show us some love and leave us a review at iTunes

It's Halloween here in the states
Betsy points out my illness of the past few days
It feels like something is eating my guts
Pop upstairs and see Betsy is watching PBS HD
That's ok to watch tears on PBS in HD, at least she is watching HD
The grieving process and death
How much more depressing can it get?
Dead babies?
Betsy how can you feel good after that?
Let me transition Kris
This was a transition you just didn't let me get there
Gotta bring it back for the people
The email for it was vague
What are we exactly going for
Not you, not you, not you
It's at the Rosemont Theater
Right by airport with turbine exhaust blowing in our faces
Downwind of O'hare
I put up some of the photos
Those are like Twitter questions
What did you put?
Podcaster
And it filled the whole thing
The people, Bears, the people
None of them were excited to be there
What do you do?
Nothing
Who can't come up with something
Prepare!!!
Don't stand there it's not your mark
Turns out that at this, audition
There was no Pat or Vanna
Plumber pipe fitter
I like to do karaoke
That's perfect, queue the music, YMCA comes on
Merv says, 'no'
Energy drops right out of room
You gotta flow with it
I can see the pipe fitters doing the YMCA karaoke in towels at the lodge
Pipe fitters singing YMCA
I got nothing for it
If you get on stage you get a bobble head Pat or Vanna
That's another Croncast t-shirt
She's just a Wheel junkie
PBS nerds look just like me
No they thought I was the baseball player, Youka-something
They were like, "I didn't know you could hit with moobs"
I did a couple interviews with Tony Kahn and Gary Mott for Morning Stories
Hopefully it will get on
Thanks to Tony and Gary for hanging out and putting up with my podcasting talk
I'm feeling the venom here
Now I have nothing left on my life list but riding a llama
Llamenade serverd at 98.6 degrees

Croncast on Morning Stories

Fri, 11 Nov 2005 15:54:36 -0600

Betsy and I were on Morning Stories today.

A great pdocast which most of you already know but for those of you who aren't familiar with Morning Stories it is a podcast produced by Tony Kahn from WGBH in Boston.

Thank you, Tony and Gary, for making us a part of Morning Stories.

Croncast listeners should also know that without some encouraging words very early on in podcasting from Tony, we might not have continued on this path.

So when you hear Tony hosting the World on NPR or any other radio show, think of him as I do, a podcaster first and the warm voice of meaningful stories.

It feels great to be back!

The past two weeks have been good us, the break, the NY Times mention, the Morning Stories mention (thanks Tony and Gary) and all of the emails and comments from listeners.

We finished last month ranked 62 at Podcast Alley. Sure we weren't around for half of the month but you can helps us out this month with a vote at Podcast Alley to to turn that 62 into a 2, a 6 or even a 26.

Our tour of Europe over, Kris and Betsy return rejuvenated- well not quite though I did take Kris on the Olive Garden Tour of Italy...

Actually we spent our time off battling waves of sewage
you know you are an adult when you are really interested in articles titled "What you need to know when buying a toilet"
I now have a dream toilet
but shouldnt everyone

Conclusion of the firefighting drama
Its great to be back thanks for coming back

Also, I have been notified that one of our most loyal listeners Ms. Fiona had a loved one pass away and noone was there for her more than Ms. Natalie, who Fiona would like immortalized as THE GREATEST FRIEND THERE EVER WAS wow fiona you are such a great friend no i mean really a great friend.

If you have a shout out you would like in the show notes email me and I will add it

On an upcoming episode Kris and Betsy weekend plumbing warriors
