  • Hey guys, listened to the show... Very interesting... I dont know if I am disturbed that I have not hit all the steps of manic podcasting yet. Maybe I should just give it time!

    I was shocked to hear that Redboy is in Bloomington. Funny, so is my Co-Host, CHUD. Good to know that Bloomington-Normal has a few things going for it besides State Farm.

    Good Luck!

  • Yeah fear not, it's only a matter of time before you become completely shameless like the rest of us.

    Illinoise has lots of podcasters, it's like the corporate HQ of podcasting.
