Regular readers probably know that I’m a fan of Dan Klass from The Bitterest Pill Podcast. If you’re not a subscriber yet, I really think you should take a listen. The Bitterest Pill is a humorous and oh-so-slightly sarcastic view of Dan’s life as a stay-at-home dad, and (as he calls himself) “a failed actor/former comedian/shut-in”. There are 2 subscription options available. You can either choose to listen to the podcast once a month for free, or you can choose the Premium subscription (like I have) and receive 4 episodes a month for a low fee of US$4/month.

Being one of my Twitter/Facebook friends, Dan happens to notice that I listen to a certain Father D from the a certain podcasts named after a broken halo or something. (I know I’m sounding wierd, but I will explain later) Apparently, Dan and Father D were ex-classmates! What a small world!

Last Friday, I received a Facebook message from Dan that he’ll be appearing on Father D’s show on Sirius Satellite Radio (Channel 159 – The Catholic Channel) at 8:20pm Eastern Time/5:20pm Pacific this coming Tuesday (23rd September 2008). (OK, you smart people can start checking the program schedule, and you’ll know who’s “Father D” and what show he’s hosting )

I’ve been wanting to share this piece of news with you all this whole weekend, but I thought I should check with Dan first. He’s fine with me making this announcement on my blog, and getting more listeners for the show, but since neither Father D nor his producer have been notified in advance, he thought perhaps we should be a little discreet about things. Dan’s checking with the “authorities” right now, while I post this announcement so everyone is informed and prepared in time for the show.

Meanwhile, if you are not a Sirius subscriber (like me ), you might want to consider signing up for the 3-day trial to listen to Sirius Internet Radio for FREE! (Hey, you can also catch Greg and Jennifer on The Catholics Next Door on the same channel! Kill 2 birds with 1 stone! )

There, I’ve finally got the secret off my chest. Now, won’t you “siriusly” consider signing up for a 3-day online trial now? I am.

Yes, the Podcasts Awards are here again. Nominations are open from now until “2359hrs on Sept 30th, 2008“. (Interestingly enough, the website does not mention which time zone.. hmm..)

Father Roderick has come up with suggestions for all you SQPN groupies out there. I now have a Podcast page with links to all the podcasts I’m currently subscribed to on iTunes. So you may be able to find some inspiration there too.

You can only nominate once, so please make your choice wisely.

In case you didn’t know, today (Sept 19) is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! (Arrrrrrrr!)

And since I don’t know how to blog or write a podcast review in pirate talk, that means you may have to wait until at least tomorrow before you hear from me on this blog.

Meanwhile, TGIF and enjoy! Arrrrrrr…!

As you’ve noticed by now, I’ve moved my blog from Blogger to WordPress and then finally to where it is right now. I bought this domain and setup a hosting account so that now I can have my WordPress blog complete with customizable themes and plugins, etc. It took a while for me to get things setup at first, but I’ve managed to get things ironed out at last.

In fact, this is the first time I’m posting from this new site. I really hope all of you will come over and take a look at the new blog and give me some feedback.

I’ve setup a Links page to link up some of the blogs which I’m subscribed to on my Google Reader. More to be added soon, so do keep a look out!

I’m also in the process of setting up a Podcasts page where I’ll share links to podcasts which I’m currently subscribed to on iTunes. I hope to get it up by the end of this week.

Well, just a brief update of what I’ve been doing in the past week. Once I get the setup of the blog more or less stabilized, I’ll probably start getting ready another round of podcast reviews. Until then, take care y’all!

NEWS FLASH:

Remember when I said in one of my previous posts that one of my girl-friends was expecting her 2nd child? I’ve just been informed by her hubby via MSN that “IT’S A GIRL!” Congratulations Irene and Jason!
