Hi Guys,

The link to episode 1 is broken.

[christopher carfi]

marcel...thanks for the headsup! will fix the link shortly -- moving some things around tonight.

Hi Christopher,

I have just listened to the first 45 minutes of ep 2 and I must say that I really like it so far.

In terms of the sound quality, I guess you can do some improvements. Maybe you can contact the Shel or Neville from For Immediate Release about this, because they got it all worked out?

I will be promoting you guys in an upcoming blog post (maybe some kind of "banner" could also help).

Keep up the good work!

[christopher carfi]

marcel...thanks! as far as a "banner," we currently have available the clueunit widget (click "get widget" in the right sidebar up there) which will link to our profiles and ultimately to the site itself. thanks again!
