I worry that there may be one of you out there, or perhaps less than one, maybe half of one of you, who subscribed to the Steve of the Web Podcast here at SteveCastellano.com before I had a chance to move it to its official home at steveoftheweb.com/podcast. So I’ve gone to the studio with my good friend Barry Whiteman to record a little audio redirect that we can now jam down the vestigial audio pipe to make sure there are no little lost sheep. Not that I mean to imply that my listeners are sheep.

And like the song says, please feel free to comment on Episode 02 here. Notice how I use that leading zero habitually – it’s my way of promising you at least eight more episodes before I get completely bored with podcasting. Well, before I stop. I may not stop just because I’m completely bored.

Edit: Pardon me. Sprit killers.

i’m saving it all up for the podcast now. this post is just killing space. andrew maxwell is the funniest living irishman next to dylan moran, nevermind leary, word has it he nicked his best stuff from bill hicks, who’s dead now, so who’s to know. what else. getting a gorillapod or two, flip video is cool, and oh yeah, WORDPRESS ROCKS. this blog runs on wordpress, i’ve just upgraded to 2.6, don’t even know what’s been improved, but every release is better. of course there are bugs now and then. some things break. but it’s not like your major commercial software companies, the bug report is public, you get to read the same one the devs read from, they don’t hide it from you and then make you wait on off-shore tech support for two hours before telling you it’s your fault. they take a swing at fixing it. if all the software on my computer ran as well as wordpress did i’d be running the goddamned planet by now. so if you’re not wordpress, or flip video, or andrew maxwell, or the guys who make the gorillapod, suck it.

Edit: Well it turns out the image gallery feature is still broken, so I take most of that back.

The Steve of the Web podcast now has its own blog at steveoftheweb.com/podcast. It’s also available via the iTunes store. We’ll still announce new episode launches here, and we’ll discuss them in the comments here at stevecastellano.com. I hope this all makes sense. To sum up:

• go to iTunes to subscribe and leave reviews for the world to read
• go to steveoftheweb.com/podcast for transcripts and housekeeping updates if you’re interested, but that blog is really just the engine that pumps out the podcast and you won’t be able to post comments there
• discuss the podcast, ask questions, and make content requests here in the podcast announcement posts (such as the one directly below this one)

This is Episode 01. There will be bugs. Please send bug reports to podcast (at) steve of the web dot com – if you can be arsed.

Subscribe to the podcast here for iTunes, and here for other feed readers.
