We had alot of fun time making this one and we really like how the new iTunes enhancements help underline what we discuss during the show. Thanks for listening! Stay subscribed!

Fixed the audio on show #2

Sorry about that folks, Walter's audio levels were off during that show and we didn't even know it! However we just went through and adjusted the levels for that show so now you'll be able to hear what Walter is saying! We reuploaded the file but don't want to link to it again because podcatching programs will think its a whole new episode, so if you want to hear it again please scroll down to the show #2 post and download the show :)

We've also added "album art" to both shows as well for all you color iPod owners or iTunes podcast listeners. Soon we'll be using the newly released iTunes podcasting chapter tool software to add chapters to our podcasts along with any relevant artwork for each chapter so you'll be able to see pictures of what we are talking about while you listen. It's pretty exciting stuff! To turn this feature on in iTunes choose the "edit menu" and then select "show artwork" and enjoy!

Thanks for your patience with the audio problems and thanks for listening!

We are bringing you more!

Even as I type this, the gears are turning to bring you another K9Cast episode on Thursday! On a side note, we've submitted our podcast to the new Apple iTunes podcast directory. It hasn't been posted there yet, but we figured that you all might like to have a sneak peek at our official iTunes podcast icon graphic. Check it out here, hope you like it!

Almost there!

Hopefully we'll have it all finished by tomorrow and posted for you guys in time to fit a regular schedule of new shows posted on Monday and Thursday. Thats right, REGULAR :). But like all podcasts we might miss a show if time does not allow. If that happens we'll do our best to at least post about it so you'll know to expect a new show soon. But for now, stay tuned because in the next show we're talking about, amongst other things, a stray dog that we rescued as well as a system we're developing for the best way to deal with strays.

Oh, and hi Emily!

We're so excited by the feedback that we have received that we are going to record another podcast tonight! Whether we can also publish it tonight remains to be seen, but stay tuned!

Rate our podcast at podcastpickle.com! We've submitted our podcast to podcastalley and a few other directories but the 'cast is so new it hasn't been added yet by the site admins. We'll let you know when it goes up there so you can vote for it there too :)

Just recorded the base audio for the first show. Still need to trim the clip, add intro/outro, filters, reverb, etc, etc.
