Episode 32 of the podcast is up. You can listen here.
It was supposed to be an interview with Cathy Zielske. We spoke on the phone for almost an hour and I got some great stuff. Then I spent three hours editing it (something I never do!) and somehow managed to delete the whole thing.
Just got an email from someone who listened to it, and apparently there are about eight minutes of gratuitous repetitions at the end. That was not supposed to happen. See what occurs when I try to make things better? The moral of the story is clear to me... NO MORE EDITING!
So instead you have me rambling about my trip to Utah, upcoming projects, and various other things. It's short, it's flawed, but there it is.
ETA: I went back to edit out the extra minutes at the end and the whole program crashed. I am thinking there is some large and nasty bug in my GarageBand program. Just so's you know.
ETA2: So I go to open the GarageBand file again... because I am a glutton for punishmenet.... and the whole thing is gone. All of it. So you are stuck with what is uploaded to iTunes. Sorry.
Ah technology! Remember the good old days when you had to actually MAIL something to communicate to people? I feel your pain, girlie!

Just to deal with the pain of this annoying problem, I think you should follow the advice of your email and go finish that bottle of Tequila!!! I have limes.... tee hee.

Aargh, lame technology! I still enjoyed the podcast though - it was cool to hear about the CKMedia office! :D

I almost cried too when I realized the interview with CA was lost!! She seems so awesome and to have such a long interview, I was so ready to listen. But as Cathy would say, "It's all good". Maybe the follow up interview will be even more spectacular. By the way, I did enjoy this podcast. You may have thought you were rambling, but it was interesting to hear about the gals at Simple. They put together such a great magazine, it was nice to hear the details about their office and the people that work there. Keep up the podcasts, edited or not, we love to hear from you Lain!

Oh, man! I'm convinced that demons roam freely among computer hard drives. Yours must have had a really nasty one today.
Haven't listened yet, but hopefully I will get to it tomorrow. I'm with you--forget the editing. Stick to Scraphappy in the raw. Consider it reality podcasting. :)

Well I listened anyway, without Cathy. Technology rocks...when it works and when it doesn't it seems to paralyze your life. So maybe you've got a book coming out??

Hey you! I just wanted you to know that I loved the podcast, as always. I'm so sorry it wasn't what it was originally intended to be but I hope you know that it was enjoyed, nonetheless. I especially loved the recap of your Utah trip.. I felt like I was there again! ;) Glad you had a blast.. sorry about the layover as well. Ooh and congrats on your juicy tidbit. ;) Talk to you soon!
