Download the most recent one here:  08-18-06... Explosives in flight ... MSM vs DIGG ... would Katie get away with it today? ... my euphemism at Slate ...Download other one here:  beebThis one was accidentally picked up in the libsyn feed because I had checked "Smart Feed", which sounded like the  ... um ... smart thing to do ... but it wasn't.  So you may have heard it already -- it's my BBC interview with Dotun Adebayo.  You can hear what the BBC actually aired here. Click on "Listen to the Show" in the right hand sidebar.  It helps to then click on "play in stand-alone real player"  -- it's somewhere around six minutes in.

What's up with the two feeds and why the heck am I posting at Podshow ? Get that first Podshow-only post here.Or get it in iTunes: hereHere are the two feeds if you need them:Fly With MeFly With Me X

Should you panic about the UK terror plot uncovered yesterday?  This episode was originally going to be posted only at Podshow like my last mini-episode, but I changed my mind.  I figured too many people would miss it.  You might get double-downloads of this one if you followed my advice and subscribed to both feeds.  Sorry.  I won't do it again.

I just posted a new episode over at the Podshow+ network.  Check it out at the Podshow siteIt's a Podshow exclusive!  I've decided to make certain episodes available only on Podshow, mainly because I think the new Podshow+ site lends itself well to a certain type of episode -- I talk about stuff I wouldn't include in these episodes here, like current events in aviation, issues that affect us in the industry etc....  I also plan to include random interviews, and to read some of your emails there.  I hope to post much more frequently at the Podshow+ site, so check it out ... but stay tuned here for future full-length episodes.- Joe

"Listen..." We sometimes depend on just our ears for information, and when we do, it's surprising how much we can gather. We have an uncanny ability to create a world in our minds when we take information in aurally. Comments for Scott can be sent to electronicman1961@myfreedombox.com.
