Withdrawal Pains

It hasn't been 2 weeks and I'm already going through "recording" withdrawal. It's not just the Batwing's Beat podcast, but I have several other voice projects that I just can't seem to get to.
As I mentioned in the last podcast, summer is a very hard time for me to get to the microphone and spend enough time to accomplish anything.

I'm probably going to have a fairly long podcast when I return. I'll have a lot of summer events to talk about. (must remember to keep notes in the meantime.)

At least I have plenty of podcasts to listen to.

Podcasting Update

Summer is peeking around the corner and that means my recording schedule becomes difficult. I just don't have as much time to get the recording done. I am not going to pod fade, but Batwing's Beat will probably be rather sporadic - sort of a pod vacation.

I plan to post items to the blog that would normally appear in the podcast (minus the 911 audio stuff).

I hope you'll hang in there with me during the summer stretch.
