Your ever dedicated host is going to be on vacation this week, so I’m shifting the entire podcast back a week.

But I promise a spectacular Episode #10 on June 8th!  I’m lining up a super-sized show full of hot new music.

Let me know if you want your group to be a part of it, or if you have some ideas for the Epsiode 10 super-spectacular!

This is just to let everyone know that due to some changes in my ‘recording studio’ my recording setup is all unplugged and scattered for a day or two, so this week’s show will be late. I actually record from my office in the after-hours, but due to renovation work, the gear is all unplugged and packed at the moment. Thanks for bearing with me on this….

Just in time for me to start putting this week’s show together…

Last week my iPod died.  I had a 40GB black and white model that I sent back to apple twice for hard drive failures, both times under warrantee.  And now it has gone a third time, but outside of the window of opportunity.  Am I cursed?  It doesn’t directly impact my ability to produce The Acapodcast, so that’ll still be going out as usual, but it does mean I won’t be able to review my work on during my commute.

I wouldn’t normally do this, but I’ve gone ahead and put a PayPal donation button in the sidebar, if anyone would like to donate towards replacing the iPod.  As I’ve stated before, I don’t make money on The Acapodcast.  It actually costs me quite a deal.  Any funds I do receive (less than a dollar a month at this point) I roll right back into the show, to cover hosting fees, or CD purchases, or gear, etc.  So thank you for any generosity you’ve shown, even if it was a kind word by e-mail.  (Especially if it is a kind word…  knowing that what I’m doing is appreciated means more than money)

Humbly,

-Chad

After being on hiatus for several months, the Acapodcast is back! We’ve got some new gear, some new groups, and some new setups (like this shiny new URL)! I hope to have some more good news in just a little bit. First, my thanks to Kevin Williams, who started the Acapodcast, and got things going. I was looking to get involved in an A Cappella themed podcast right around the time he started it up, and he graciously let me get my feet wet with him a little bit. He also graciously turned the Acapodcast over to me when in a fit of New Year enthusiasm I decided to revive it. I’d also like to thank the many artists who have appeared on past episodes of the Acapodcast, and to the many groups that have agreed to let me play their music. We’ve got a lot of kick butt music coming your way! If you are a group that would like to be featured in the Acapodcast, please e-mail me at chad (at) acapodcast.com. And for all you listeners, feedback is always welcome.
