Sorry for the wait, but I had a glitch with the program I use to create the show notes on my Mac. Show notes for Show #10 are available HERE.

This week’s show is coming to you from The Land of Jan (Ullrich, that is) . . . Germany! I am here on a business trip and had time for a short podcast this week. Sorry, in advance, for the awful audio. I only had so much room in my luggage, so the good microphone and mixer were left at home.

Good thing my family wanted to listen to The FredCast on our way to visiting my mother-in-law and her husband for Christmas. I don’t know how or why Garage Band hiccuped, but it cut off a bunch of my audio, thereby making some of the news stories almost incoherent (I mean more than usual, of course!). Anyway, I re-edited it in the airport before our flight left for the frozen north and hope you’ll forgive the glitch.

Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukah! Happy Kwanza! Happy Holidays!

Hello fellow Freds! The first episode of The FredCast is finally available!

Phew! That was more work than I expected. I bought and returned three microphones and two mixers, ran into GarageBand’s dreaded 999 measure limitation, lost the show notes (after completing them in their entirety), stayed up way too late (4:00 a.m.), butchered my RSS feed and xml files more times than I care to admit, and finally got everything configured the way I want. I know the sound needs some work, but I promise things will get better. I just hope this all gets easier from this point forward.
