Hi All-
Sorry for the delay in getting the podcast up. The hosting company I use has been down since about 1pm for uploading, so I’m waiting for them to straighten things out.
In the meantime, head over to ReveNews to listen to the podcast I did with Pepperjam’s Kris Jones today on the PJ / CJ controversy. It’s about 30 mins total, so it’s close to our regular 22 mins of goodness.
Fingers crossed that the host will be up soon…
Episode 41: Conflicts of Interest, More on CJ v PJ, Network Comparisons (about 22 mins / 22 mb’s)
