Welcome to a very special 1 hour+ show featuring the first collaboration between Andy from The PolarBear Podcast and myself, as we embark on a quest to find the similarities and differences between our two native countries and discuss everything from politics to Hot Tamales.
But don't worry! We do some Swenews too! We had a blast doing this show, and truly hope you enjoy it...
Today's show is appropriately named Back in the Saddle again...
It's been a minute, and I give thanks to all of you who have stayed subscribed, whatever your reason. Real life (RL) has made it very difficult lately to get a good quality show out, but I'm determined to come thru for you the podcast listener. (as well as my own sanity!)
With that in mind, this show is a bit shorter than usual, and pretty much devoted to Part 2 of my interview earlier this year with singer/songriter Robin Stine of Pensacola, Florida whose latest CD DAYDREAM has been very well received. We talk about her relationship to Podcasting, and her thoughts on the subject. She shares with us what it takes to be a truly independent artist, and other insights she's gained on her artistic journey. It was a great pleasure speaking with her, and I'm sure you'll enjoy our chat as much as I did...
Take a look at this new music video that I produced for Singer/Songwriter Leah-Carla Gordone, and the new hit single "The Road" from her latest CD "Dancing On The Dragon". You can find out more at her website www.leahcarlagordone.com or on Myspace Music. I hope you enjoy it! So let me know what you think!
To those of you that haven't dropped your subscriptions, to those of you that are still subscribed, believing in your hearts that I haven't podfaded yet, despite the difficult year, I want to say thank you! Thanks for waiting, or being too lazy to clear out the old RSS feeds that aren't any good anymore.
I HAVEN'T PODFADED AND STILL WANT TO BRING YOU SHOWS!
Yesterday, I finally got a chance to check the site, and start to get things going again, and guess what happened?
That's right, no site! No site, no feed, no show, not even a homepage for my host, Blogmatrix.com, and no email telling me what was up! Imagine my surprise! Had I been cut off, squeezed out? Had the company gone under after being overtaken by the competition? What the hell happened? And why wasn't I notified?
I was able to find an email address for Blogmatrix support, and sent off an immediate email to find out just what was going on here. I was also able to locate the Blogmatrix.com blog which informed me that they were switching over to "V10" and had had some problems in the process. To their credit they answered immediately, and let me know that in the changeover they had elected not to move accounts that hadn't posted in the last 60 days. This included yours truly, and thus my show, and page was off the net. However, thanks to Tim Desjardins over at Blogmatrix, my podcast was back up and running by this evening. When I came home from a great open mic night in Monterey, there was an email from Tim informing me that my show was back. I went to my page at Blubrry.com, and all was well. They even gave me hosting credit for the inconvenience, which is a BIG help!
So, if you're still reading this I want to say thanks for sticking with me. I'll have a new show shortly, and be doing my best to get back on track. Maybe even serious! I've got lots of work to do to build my audience back up again, and I'm looking forward to every bit of it!

It's a weekly podcast with Garland T. I find time somewhere in the week for a rolling conversation about culture, society, and everything in between. Podsafe music, audio art, live guests, interviews, and good conversation is what I'm looking to find here. Maybe you are too? Join me in the search, and let's see where it takes us...
