    Well... this will be challenging but fun.  Why you all will see daily postings in the feed starting in about 10 minutes:

    "In the spirit of NaNoWriMo, NaVloPoMo, NaBloPoMo we've decided to start NaPodPoMo - National Podcast Post Month.

    Beginning November 1st the quest is to podcast everyday (including weekends) for 30 Days. Feel free to be as creative as you want. Any audio format is acceptable. From Jott to Utterz to BlogTalkRadio etc... Use a phone, an iRiver (or comparable) or a good old fashioned microphone. It can last from 1 minute to 1 hour or more. It's entirely up to you. Use whatever tools you have at your disposal. The whole point is to just get your podcast out each and every day for 30 days starting on November 1st."

    I figured since I record daily for KWSS anyway, all I really need to do is fill the weekends, and I'm set! So, first post for the month will be Episode #39!

    I've been mulling this over since June, then at the Podcast and New Media expo I discovered that others were plotting my assimilation into the Far Point family!  So... papers are signed, and the process is all ready beginning.

    What is that process? I'm not entirely sure, but I know it involves moving servers and files and such.  What does it mean for you, dear listeners?  I have no idea.

    Yet.

    But I will keep you ever-informed, as I always do. :-)

    Check out all the awesome shows on Far Point Media, I bet you will recognize one or two I'm sure!!

    It's amazing... as soon as the company leaves, and I have room to work BAM!  A show! Don't get me wrong, I loved the time with my mom and it was a nice week. But I'm ready to get back to seeking! I went back and forth on what to do with this episode.  What I decided on is it will be an expo recap and feedback show!  Don't you worry though, there is still a little seeking going on, as well as the first ever audio skit inspired by Truth Seekers! Here's the low-down (narf!):

    *Expo round-up.  So late I'm sure no one cares at this point.

    *Ontario Police following me to Hooters? Wait- I was in a Hooters?
    *Thank you Jason Tucker for grabbing that audio!
    *Audio Addict post about Expo

    Well, I tried to find time and a place to record this week while my company is in town.  It's not happening. I haven't even had a chance to recoup after our trip to Kansas, as I became sick and company arrived two days after we returned home.

    Tuesday the house is empty again. I hope to get show #38 to you as soon as I can after that. I'm really sorry, fellow seekers. :-(

    I have so many voicemails from nearly a month ago.. it's to the point I might have to skip some of them in order to get back on track.  I'll take a look at everything once I can breathe again.  It would kill me to do it, but with seeking we must move forward, or we don't have a chance at any truth.

    As always thanks for listening, and you will definitely hear me again soon! Hey- here are a couple of places that you can hear me now, if you miss me that much!

    From a spiderhole in California... well ok the Marriott lobby in Ontario, it's the first annual (and I hope not the last) political round table!  It was a lot of fun, and thank you to all the awesome people who participated:

    -Aaron from The Big Show
    -Shelly from Shelly's Podcast
    -Charles from Mostly News
    -Barely from Barely Podcasting

    It definitely made me want to put together talks such as these more often in the future. I'm glad there are many ways now to make this so. :-)  What do we talk about?

    -Health care
    -Racial Tensions in Americas
    -Iraq (which somehow led to urban sprawl)
    -Government Accountability
    -Do we even have a voice anymore?
    -Podcasting politics

    There is a lot of background noise, but you can hear what everyone is saying pretty clearly. Also provided nice bed music!

    Also, thanks to Corby from The Twisted Pickle for calling in and we missed you this year! 

    Promo: Dream Realm's Robotz of the Company- Season 4!

    Enjoy everyone, I'm out of town next week, so the next show might be a little delayed. We will just see how it goes...

    Heeheeee... Podcast User Magazine interviewed me for their "Inside The Podcaster's Studio" segment.  I'm truly tickled to be included in the magazine- they interview so many awesome people!

    As you will read, I don't have much of an opinion about things... nudge-nudge, wink-wink. 

    Check it out HERE!

    (Article begins on page 13!)

    And I must give huge huge kudos to my brother, Andy Radin, for taking the photos of me... he made me look good, and I love him for that great feat!! (Well, I love him for more reasons than that, but you get what I mean.)  Of course stupid me forgot to credit him in the article.. but please check out all his awesome work. :-)

    Feedback show- next week I hope!  I've got tons of great feedback to share!

    Love you all!

    Two years after Hurricane Katrina broke down levies which destroyed New Orleans, there still has not been significant progress made.  What's the hold up? Pick an issue. People today still argue about who's to blame for all the mishaps during and after.  This episode tries to put the timeline in perspective.

    It all began on this day, August 26 2005, when federal assistance was first requested by all of the gulf coast states.

    I found out some really cool news- a couple of months ago my dear friends Twilight and Thebes nominated Truth Seekers for a Podcast Peer Award.  It was a sweet thing to do, but to be honest?  I didn't really give it much thought after that.  Maybe I was still heartbroken over the silliness of the Radio Talent Contest...

    I found out today that I have made it to the finals, along with two other great shows in the politics category!  Yay TS!

    So, if you are a podcaster, head over to the PPA site now and give me a vote. (There is a short registration process). While you are there, give a vote for all the other great casts that made it to the finals as well. What I'm finding is what makes this award special is that fellow podcasters are the ones giving our shows the nod- it's a nice feeling to know that you are well-thought of among your peers.

    On this day, when we are all out at our BBQ's and drinking our beers and watching those fireworks while waving the flag, it is my wish everyone takes pause to really consider some things about our country today.

    A gift to all the Seekers- a poem I always think of during this holiday.  Mostly out of amazement that his words can still ring so true today.

    Enjoy, and I hope I didn't butcher it too much!

    The title for this show came to me as I was listening and responding to the voicemails I received.  I learned a lot about how differently everyone views information, and everyone has their own connections to it.  Sometimes it's from a more personal level than others.  I hope you learn a little more, and become more aware of perceptions as well. :-)

    Hey everyone!  Just jumping in for a quick note here while I've got a house full of family.  I wanted to tell everyone that Truth Seekers has been reviewed by Bruce C (no, not the Bruce C over on the message board) of Podcaster Who's Who!  WooHOO!

    He had some very nice things to say about my little show, and it was so great to hear a review from someone that I don't really know.  It just made it seem like the show really has some value. (Not that I don't value my friend's opinions, but you know what I mean.) ;-)

    You can listen to the review at the link below- it's only a few minutes long.

As I laughed at all the dings during the show, I decided to turn it into something useful.  Call or email me with the number of Twitter pings you hear in the show.  Contact info in the margin to the right. First 5 to respond, (and uh, respond correctly), win TS gear at the NEW Cafepress store! The prize will be decided by me, so that means everyone gets a thong! ;-)

    Living in Arizona, Pat Tillman is a hometown hero.

    Hey seekers!  I had the most AWESOME of interviews at the station tonight (well at this point it is last night), and I want to introduce the band to you!  It was really great- Steve is quite a guy and I loved his thoughts about getting back to a more cultural music scene. 

    All songs are by Bad Dog No Biscuit, an R&B/Funk/ Blues/ Latin band.  You can find out more about them at their website:

    http://www.baddognobiscuit.net/

    And hear tunes on their myspace page:

    http://www.myspace.com/badogrecords

    The recording is a bit choppy- I let it run here at home when I was at the station.  The whole thing is about 45 minutes- and it completely rocks.

    So, enjoy the brake from politics!

    A little holiday present for everyone- three weeks ago a thread began on the Podcast Pickle forums.  Two amazing podcasters wanted to show some love to a great podcast directory and community. It turns out that many other podcasters wanted to show some love as well. This was the result.  Enjoy!

    The Update Before Christmas by Wesley Clifford and Will Ross
    Adapted from the Poem "The Night Before Christmas" By Clement Clark Moore

    Twas the night before Christmas, and all 'cross the net, (Wintersheart)
    No RSS updates, and so no shows to get. (Mr. Bob)
    The iPods were docked to the computers with care, (Barely Podcasting)
    In hopes that P Dilly soon would be there. (TVindy)

    All the Casters were nestled all snug in their beds, (Brother Osric)
    While visions of Microphones danced in their heads. (mrsb)
    And mamma in her ipod, 80 gigs vast (Rubberhead)
    We had just settled in to finish our casts. (Laurence Simon)

    When on my computer the hard drive did clatter, (Blissfully Unfulfilled)
    I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. (Juliann)
    Fingers on my keyboard they flew like a flash, (Laieanna)
    It'd just be my luck if Windows did crash. (Eclectic Mix)

    But the moon through the window on my computer below, (Twilight)
    showed an empty podcatcher, with not a one show. (comedy4cast)
    But then, what to my wondering eyes should appear, (DiggersStory)
    But a great giant pickle, and eight tiny reindeer! (Dani)

    With a little old driver, so lively and quick, (Philosophy Guy)
    I knew in a moment it must be St Pick! (Zedcaster)
    More rapid than broadband his casters they came, (Geek Acres)
    And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name! (Tony -FanboySmackdown)

    Now Rob Walsh! Now Ely! Now Hutchins and Sigler! (Mostly News)
    On Clinton, On Ellis! On Leo and Digger! (Brother Osric)
    And down through the modem, through the firewall! (Lynnette from SCRAPcast)
    Now download 'em! Download 'em! Download 'em all!" (Jen and Corey)

    As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, (KevinLeeC)
    When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. (Planet Retcon)
    So up to the rooftop the casters they flew, (SysTris)
    With the jar full of Casts, and P Dilly too. (KC Weather)

    I heard on the rooftop, the shows I loved most! (Mostly News)
    The talking and laughing of each beloved host! (Dani)
    As I drew in my head, and was turning around, (Thats good to know)
    Down the chimney P Dilly came with a bound. (Brother Osric)

    He was dressed all in green, from his head to his foot, (Shelly)
    And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot. (Zedcaster)
    A bundle of Feeds he had flung on his back, (Slusy)
    And he looked like a pickle, like a podcasting snack. (PNR Mikey)

    His eyes-how they twinkled! Green pimples how merry! (The Right Rev Chumley)
    His cheeks were like roses, his nose a green cherry! (Dry Shave, Karen)
    He held a wide smile, from his nose to his chin. (RL Burt)
    And the beard that he wore, was green as a gherkin. (the Keeme)

    The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, (Allie)
    And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath. (John)
    He had a green face and a little round belly, (The Diva)
    That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly. (Laieanna)

    He was chubby and plump, with a jar full of pickles, (Mrs b )
    And I laughed when I saw him, just like i'd been tickled! (Blissfully Unfulfilled)
    A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, (The Half (Me-Saj) )
    Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread. (The Half (Jason) )

    He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, (Eclectic Mix)
    And filled all the ipods, then turned with a jerk. (Comedy4Cast)
    And laying his finger aside of his nose, (KevinLeeC)
    And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose! (Worlds of Wayne)

    He sprang to his sleigh, and the podcasters whistled, (Brother Osric)
    And away they all flew like guided cruise missile. (Barely Podcasting)
    But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight, (Random)
    "Happy Podding to all, and to all a good-night!"

    (Links to all the podcasters involved can be found in the show notes, for those of you using your podcatchers!)

    Because it’s so close to Christmas, I shook up the format for this episode a bit.  Since I began the podcast in March, this is my first holiday of podcasting- I hope everyone enjoys it!

    I apologize for the horrendous audio quality.  I have audio from my travels to Boston the first week of December- and how they were halted halfway through for a day in Chicago. Then the interview with Bruce is not the best quality, though with all of it I tried to clean it up the best I can.  (Note to Santa: iRiver? Please?  I think I’ve been good, though don’t talk to _______ and ______, and most certainly not _______, - ok?)

    Here’s the rundown:

    -Intro: Mostly News

    -Promo: Public Nuisance Radio

    -Live from Chicago, and the truth about being incoherent at 5 in the morning.

    - Song: Re-gifting for the holidays

    -Chicago part two: Time flies when you’re listening to a podcast

    -Deep thought about computer over-abundance

    -Please don’t mace him!

    -watch lists and no fly lists and the government, oh my!

    -will she ever leave the Windy City?

    - Song: Sick of Christmas (sung by Santa)

    -Podcast Pickle, and how awesome the number 57 is.

    -last installment of my interview with Bruce Carter.  Still chock full of great discussion.  We cover Race, class, and my love/hate relationship with Lou Dobbs, the sham war on terror, and sham Democrats who still acknowledge a War on Terror, and tons more!

    (for those who might want to jump ahead (but really, who would want to?), the interview portion is 35 minutes)

    -Don’t forget that voicemail line!  206-350-0669

    -Final Song: Sleigh Ride by the Hipcola

    All songs can be found on the podsafe music network

    Merry Christmas!!  See you in 2007!

    The annual flu outbreak is expected to hit the west earlier this year than last year.
    Well, good thing I'm heading east for Christmas!

    Doctors say the best defense is a flu shot- but I just dunno...

    Back by popular demand- it's the Truth-seeking supplement!

    Ok.. really my sister was wondering what had happened to them, but she is popular in my book!

    The results of the voter turnout here in Arizona are in, and it's quite positive for a non-presidential election.  Though I'm such a perfectionist, why can't it be 100%?
