Hi Ryan,
Just wanted to let you know that this week’s show had now issues through iTunes on my iPod.
About your question on buying themes. I get the point where the developers want to charge you to buy their themes, even if they chose to use GPL. But I think the amount they charge for the actual theme should be minimal and then they should charge you for support. This would protect them from just anyone taking their work and using it but making their main income by helping customizing their themes to the bloggers needs.
Hi Ryan,
Having trouble getting episode 2 for my player. Your feed is only outputting a .m4a file. My player requires .mp3.
I don’t use iTunes at all. And refuse to. (I use Juice to pull my in podcast feeds.)
I got ep. 1 as an mp3 but wondered what direction you are going in with the file format?
I like what I hear so far, and hope you find a co-host. Two or more voices make for easier listening.
Hey Brian, thanks for dropping this comment. And thanks for listening.
Good point on the file format. I’ve submitted a classic mp3 format to the iTunes podcast directory, but the feed itself is right here. That should shoot you each MP3 for each show.
Also, a second voice is on the way. Maybe this week, even…
