So, it would seem that we’re beginning to rack up a hefty number of podcasts.  It’s been four months, and we’re about to hit Episode #20 this coming week!  As for our new listeners, we encourage you to jump in wherever you like.  After all, we’re most interested in what interests you!  But with our growing backlogs of artists, albums, and topics, we understand that culling our “Podcast Category” page can seem a little daunting.  This is why we’ve added a brand new Podcast Archive page, easily accessible just below our main banner for an at-a-glance look at all that we have to offer.  (Believe me, when these numbers get higher, you’ll be glad it’s here.)
