Hey geeks. Wanted to drop a quick note and let you know I am still working on getting caught up on all my email, news, audio comments and feedback since my trip. Tonight I was finally able to get through everything and get my show notes prepped for the next show. The problem is now it’s 1:37 AM and too late for me to start recording. Expect the next cast tomorrow. Now I’m going to bed. :)

I finally received permission to share the clip of the MacCast being mentioned on The Gadget Show in the UK. The Gadget Show is a show on Channel Five one of the terrestrial broadcast channels in the UK. The show deals with all kinds of gadget ans technology, but in this episode they did a nice segment on Podcasting. Durning the segment one of the shows hosts, Jon, gave the MacCast some very nice praise. Thanks to Jon and the rest of his crew for their support.

Thanks to the listeners who kindly sent in these clips.

For those of you lucky enough to get a new iPod with video on Monday or for those just looking for fun iTunes video content, check out Tiki Bar TV. (Warning: This show is not “family safe”). I am really digging this cast. The format is kind of like a kids show, a la Pee Wee’s Playhouse, but has an adult subject. Mixed Drinks. Each episode Dr. Tiki, Lala and the great cast of others teach you how to create a new kind of mixed drink. Awesome. It’s both fun and educational. Check it out in iTunes. Enjoy.

This is so cool. I was just told by a listener that the MacCast was mentioned on the latest episode of The Gadget Show on Channel 5 in the UK. I was very excited and flattered to hear the news. Thanks to The Gadget Show and Channel 5 for even considering my show worth the mention, I am honored.

Since I obviously don’t get UK TV here in the States, I would love it if someone could send me a clip of episode.

UPDATE: Thanks to a listener I now have a copy of the segment and a DVD version is on the way. I have asked for permission to post the clip, so as soon as (and if) I get it I will post a link.

Hey Geeks. Sorry things have been a little crazy lately, but I have a new episode in the works and should have something out Monday or Tuesday. Talk to ya soon.
