No Global Geek News Podcast Tomorrow
Aug 23rd
Greetings fellow geeks! I come bearing some bad news. There will be no Global Geek News podcast released tomorrow like usual. I’ve been sick since Friday and still don’t feel up to doing the show. If I start feeling better, we might be able to get a show up later this week but my crystal ball is currently out of order so I don’t know what is going to happen.
However, I do know that next week is the 4th birthday of the show and I don’t care if I have to do a show from a hospital bed, we will have a show! I am still working on booking guests for the show so stay tuned to find out who the special guests will be for the event!
Podcast audio problem fixed
Aug 18th
Just a heads up, this morning I fixed the audio on this week’s podcast. It had the left right ear thing going on where I was in one ear and Wesley was in the other. Listeners that have been around for a while know this isn’t the first time this has happened but I always get it fixed as soon as I can.
If you have downloaded it and not listened yet, you might want to re-download the show, otherwise you probably won’t notice a difference since the fixed file is now up. Sorry for the audio problems, I goofed during editing.
