Normally I try my utmost to get a news show out every Sunday night. This has not been the case the last two weeks and the reason is fairly simple, LEGO. Building is currently draining most of my free time, tempting me when I should be editing the podcast. So, your going to have to wait one more day for #41.

I’ll also try better in the future to have a consistent schedule with a news show Sunday night and a mid week interview Thursday night. Until then, please try to bear with me.

I’ve just posted a quick video on how to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes. This will take you step by step incase your unsure how this could work.

Not working? Try at YouTube or Revver

Just a quick note here, the recording software I’ve been using came down with an error Saturday night. As such I was unable to record a news show for this past week. But I will have it back up and running as soon as I can. Until I do, here is what would have been our show notes:

-New Parts Packs (Old News I Missed)
-Did LEGO set a naughty example?
-Disney’s Mini Sites
-Geeks and LEGO
-More Images From Indiana Jones

As you may have noticed, the last episode was posted one whole week ago. Believe me when I say this is not due to a lack of trying. I’ve spoken to a number of people about coming on the show, but as I’ve been finding, the holidays are not a good time to be asking for interviews.

So, when will the next episode be dropped? Well on early Christmas morning I will be giving you all a little treat, BrickTunes. Having said that, this episode will NOT be posted to this blog. In order to get this little gift you will need to subscribe if you have not already done so.

Jamit has asked me to make those buttons on the right LEGO themed. I had no clue how to LEGOise Zune and iTunes. But RSS, it came so clear like a transparent LEGO Brick. So I went to Flash, Made a square 50×50 px and turned it into a Minifig head. So here you go for your own enjoyment!

A discussion between the cast/crew of the show (Jamit, reepblue, and Matto) brought up the need for us to have a logo for iTunes, among other things. We basically gave Steven a couple design guidelines (basically we needed to incorporate a LEGO brick, and that it should be mostly blue) and let his imagination do the rest. The colour scheme he chose was based on that of an old forum that Steven had done graphics for, and the page design for the blog. He got a great design for the logo down pretty quickly, and it was just a matter of a little discussion before we had tweaked the font design and text into compleation.

So without further ado, here is both our iTunes banner, and a smaller avatar/button.

My only regret is that they don’t have catchy names like “Larry”

Now, can I have your attention for one bit? I would like to introduce Larry, the “Listen” button.

For now on, this nice smooth button will take you to the radio file. Just click it and your listening to the radio show! I would also like to say that Larry had a brother named Dexter, but he can not be posted until further notice.

Well we should have had the older episodes up here by now, but PodOmatic seems to have deleted them from their site. Just goes to prove how crappy that site was. But no matter, I have already lined up two interviews with MOC builders and those will start coming in before the end of the week. So keep your eye on this spot.

That is right, after dying a second time we are now bringing it back with a new site, new e-mail, and a new plan. All in all it is going to be a new podcast. Start looking for the old episodes to be posted here and then we will start turning out new content. If all goes well the first new pieces of content will hit this blog in less then a week.
