Betsy and her husband Kris Apr. 28, 2006

Hey, my people, this is one of our best shows since we began. We think so, maybe we just had a lot of fun doing and that is skewing our view. It starts off a bit slow with Betsy psycho-analyzing me but it picks up quick.

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

Croncast - Richie and his friend Kris Ep. 1. Today's guest is Richie Carey from www.careyinternet.com. We talk about using blogs for business solutions from small to large to engage customers. Of course that is the intended focus but the meandering began early.

Mixed with technical difficulties with Skype I was able to get the show together. We should have done a Dawn and Drew double ender but instead I opted to record everything locally. My soundcard has a lot of extra noise that I didn't hear when recording the show. At one point I commited sin of messing with audio levels wjile recording . . . you'll know when!

This show was a lot of fun to record. Thanks again to my new friend Richie Carey who will be a frequent guest on the show, I hope.
