Expansion and Progress Continues

Hey everybody, hope you're having a great week so far. I know I am. Episode 0008 is still on hold, but as you can see, I've been making some additions to the site. The right sidebar now contains links to about a gazillion different ways to subscribe to this show, be it in iTunes or Yahoo or other podcatchers. So, if you haven't already, do subscribe!


I've also made progress on getting the word out on this show to more and more potential listeners. Just below my email link, you'll also see I've been accepted as a member of the Teen Podcaster's Network, so check them out to find some other cool shows being done by the younger crowd of podcasters.


Lastly, a little further down, I've got a couple of ways for you all to vote for the show. You can vote for the TruCast at Podcast Alley by clicking the image for the site or at Digital Podcast by choosing a rating and clicking vote. It's that easy, and it'll help get the show out to more and more listeners.


So, as always, thanks for listening to me. I'm really excited that people I don't really know at all are taking an interest in what I have to say. If you have any suggestions for future topics I can talk about, send me an email! Stay subscribed!

More on Rob Costlow and Podsafe music

Thanks for your continued support as the TruCast completes the first month online.


For those interested in hearing more of the awesome Rob Costlow (and his piano), two of his albums have recently been added to the iTunes Music store for purchase. Click here to visit his artist page in the iTMS and support him with your purchase of his songs or albums. Both of the tracks I have played are available here, albeit with better audio quality than what you heard in the podcast. Just FYI.


Let me know what kinds of music you'd like me to look into for future Podsafe selections. You can visit the Podsafe Music Network here to browse and listen to tons of indie music just waiting to be included in a podcast. It's free, and there's no signup involved for listeners, though you can't download music, only playing it from within your browser. Let me know if you find anything you want to request.


Again, thanks for listening, have a great Sunday, and I'll be back with Episode 0008 soon!

Episode 0002 - Rock Out
Show notes:

-Recorded in Kirksville Square and the TruCast Dorm.
-Tonight I give you excerpts from a concert I went to near campus on Friday.
Hear The Bad Habit Band playing:

-Brown Eyed Girl
-Surrender
-Gimme Three Steps
-Crazy Train, the finale of their concert

Thanks to The Bad Habit Band for a great concert and for letting me use these recordings. Make sure to visit their website!

***Warning: the quality of the recording is fairly low due to the current limitations of the iPod, and the fact that the mic is inexpensive. This band really sounded great. Enjoy!

Update
Hey, just a quick update tonight. I went to a concert near the campus, and was it worth it! I had a great time, heard a lot of awesome music, and got material for Episode 0002 all at once. I recorded this band while I was at the show using the iPod/iTalk/Lapel Mic combo, will be posting snippets of it as Episode 0002 over the weekend. In the meantime, you can check out the the website of the band, The Bad Habit.
