New Podcast: Shutdown

Hey Everyone! For a long time now, I've felt restricted by doing a solely Technology-based podcast. And now, I am proud to announce that Lee & Myself will soon be starting up a podcast based on our thoughts and whatever we care to talk about. I have some big plans and hopefully it will be a huge success.

Let me know whether or not you like the logo Lee worked on, and currently he's working on getting the site up. It won't be extravagant or anything, just a simple place to get our episodes, and get the essentials of the show. Kinda like this page right here....
On that note, I've been thinking for some time now about getting a new site, but every time I explore my options, I find myself unable to create an easy-to-use interface like that of Bloggers. So, what I might be doing instead is improving the quality of this site, both in looks and functionality. Please comment on this post if you have any suggestions for the site.

Thanks!

Update on French Laws

Here's an article I found on Digg Today. You might have heard me talking about the laws under consideration in France right now, that would end up banning all open-source software, podsafe music, and anything without DRM or fees. Click the link below to read the Article!

How Many Podcasts Left?

A s my birthday inches closer & closer, I got myself thinking? How many episodes do I have left on the Teen Podcasters Network? And if we figure that I have 4 years left until I turn twenty (on December 25), then that amounts to 208 episodes, if it remains as a weekly release (of course).
Gosh, growing up makes me depressed :(, more and more crap to do all the time. And that seems like such a small number when you see these other podcasts like "The Dawn & Drew Show", having just passed their 200th episode, when only starting last year. But you must then look at the fact that they release an episode daily.
At one point, I was considering possibly having the podcast as a mid-week release & a weekend release, however thats when everything is normal, and leaves no time for busy weeks, so I decided to stay put with the weekly release.
Anyways, I hope you're looking forward to Saturday's Episode 14, and please don't forget to complete my Listener Survey, as it really helps me out!
