Betsy and her husband Kris July 31, 2006
This show is an outakes show from the last 4 months. A little behind the scenes peek. It would have been a regular show but . . . sometimes it is too soon after a death to make a joke. I found out the hard way. For those of you who missed the news we put Muffin down over the weekend and it has been really hard for Betsy. Muffin was truly her dog and a good companion over the last six years. We'll be back on Wednesday.

Steve Kaminski from the Grand Rapids Press has a review of the Alltel Racing Podast that shouldn't be missed by anyone interested in business podcasting, "Alltel's NASCAR podcast proves insightful". Kaminski comes to the podcast as a skeptic and leaves a believer in the power of podcasting. " 'Yippee' is what I thought when I opened up my e-mail and read that Alltel has introduced the Alltel Racing Podcast this season.
Can you say "infomercial?"
On second thought, don't say it.
You would be wrong.
This is not scripted and rehearsed. With Borland, you get shoot-from-the-hip, no holds barred, opinionated talk.
I talked to Alltel executives last week, and they said they wanted to give fans a behind-the-scene look at their race team. That they deliver." What Alltel has done is simply to follow rule one in podcasting to have successful show. What is that rule? Honesty. Just be honest. Be human. Take a listen at www.alltelracingpodcast.com.

Betsy and her husband Kris July 24, 2006
Vickie, Betsy's sister for the new listeners, finally went into 'real' labor last night at 3 a.m.. She was staying here so most of the family is at the hospital except for me, Elliot and Gigi. Being on baby patrol makes it kind of hard to put up a post. The show notes are coming.
Betsy and I are fighting, best friend style
She wants me to move out and take my stuff
I want to take an iron ans steam her to death
Kris is up in Betsy's business
Her eBay finances are a mess
Kris doesn't like being bossed
Betsy agreed to send email to potential clients . . . nothing . . . phone call . . . nope
They get crazy when they see you on the phone
I don't need Betsy as a corporate rep
Where is all of Betsy's eBay money going?
We talked about it today
Betsy made $900 this week and is -$30
Say what!?!?
She tells me why this is better than putting it on credit
She wants me to apologize
Betsy comes to her senses and says, "Kris, you have a small point."
She hands over her Pay Pal card to me so she can't spend
Lifestyle of the rich and Slowsky
Slowsky is a thirsty bitch!
Higher gas prices, higher fill-up in Slowsky thanks to WW III
Worse gas mileage than a hummer
The Gucci cash is all gone
Functioning out of a hole
She says she is going to purge most of her eBay horde
Stipulation on the card is giving Betsy cash in small amounts
Betsy is no longer CFO of Palegroove since she is handing over her personal financial reigns to me
Just wash my Legos
Cleaning Betsy's junk with Magic Erasers
Kris feels violated, Betsy wants to push me up the corporate ladder with a golf club hanging out of my behind
Kris took a gold lesson, Natural Golf, thanks to Henry for hook-up
Knowing you . . . where are the golf clubs?
It would be better to have a $900 gold club
I still can say I have never officially played golf
Turns out I am really good at hitting the ball straight
The Natrual Golf way worked for me
Test question . . . "Do you like George Bush now?"
Betsy goes on a socialworker rant
How many poor people spend $300 going to Yellow Stone from their McDonalds job?
Betsy says she has realized her calling
Trader Joes is that calling, they are her people
Finding Wooly the Watermellon for candy
If I leave Vickie will crown
Betsy gave me persmission to attend the Jaguar 2007 XK test drive event
I drove a black coupe (see pics below)
Thanks to Laura and John for their help
I recorded most of the day
The car is in my blood
"I don't give a rat's ass. I am not getting anything out of your blood."
Driving the XK took me way back to my dad's speed fetish
I shouldn't have been looking at that man like that
I could cheat on my wife. That takes too much effort . . . I'll buy a Jaguar XK
It is a mid-life crisis car not a car for a 32 year man
We'll have nothing left to show for podcasting work but a bankruptcy and a hot car
Some pics from my weekend fun.

As many of you know I am a stats freak. So since we passed our 250th show I thought I would share some numbers. These numbers aren't for the entire 250+ shows but for the new site that went live on April 9th of this year. Totals are since the site went live 3 months ago:
Shows: 38
Downloads: 49,461
Downloads from RSS: 40,162
Downloads from site: 9,299
Avg downloads per show: 1,301
Unique listeners who have downloaded: 3,998
RSS hits: 254,826
Unique RSS hits (includes bots and spiders): 5,160
Unique RSS daily avg. hits (all feeds): 562
% of people using old RSS feeds (prior to new site launch): 79.1%
% of people using new RSS feeds (post new site launch): 20.9%
% people using iTunes to subscribe: 49.7%
% of people using Juice to subscribe: 9.9%
How did you get this information? From Castlock.
What is Castlock? It is the podcast platform that runs this site.
Where can I get it? Right now it is mine and only mine.
What does it do? Manages this entire site, podcasts, RSS feeds, delivers mucho stats, allows for HTTP Authentication of feeds and is integrated with Authorize.net payment gateway for paid for subscription RSS feeds.
That's it. Those are the stats that I check everyday on the download and RSS side of the house.
