Hey podcast listeners,
Because of the crazy server issues we experienced during our “Encore Week” last week, we have decided to delay this week’s episodes with Angelo Coppola and Pam Killeen until Thursday, January 13, 2011 and Friday, January 14, 2011. We’re still working through some of the lingering issues with the server change and we hope to have all the kinks worked out by then. In the meantime, this will let you guys catch up on all the “Encore Week” interviews that you may have missed last week. THANK YOU so much for all the kind words of support during this very stressful time for us. As frustrated as you were with the down time we had, it was at least one-hundred times worse for me and Kevin who have literally been pulling our hair out about this. I have to recognize the work my producer Kevin Kennedy-Spaien has put into fixing this problem–the man barely slept a wink in the past week and I am so grateful for his expertise and professionalism throughout. We appreciate you the listeners and want to provide the best possible podcast we can have. It’s a nice “problem” to deal with because of the explosion in popularity of this show. I’m grateful for you and look forward to a truly amazing 2011!

Hi Folks, Kevin the producer, here.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A DOWNLOAD AND IT IS TAKING FOREVER, please STOP IT. THEN READ THIS POST.
As Jimmy has said, our apologies for the difficulties. Unfortunately, we have become victims of our own success. Our hosting provider has decided that we were using too much of the “Unlimited Bandwidth” we have been paying for and decided, as of December 30th, to throttle our bandwidth without telling us.
Originally they told us we were using too many CPU cycles, so we moved the show to its own, separate server account, but of course it did no good. Finally last night (Friday) I got a supervisor to admit that they were throttling our bandwidth on purpose. He explained why the decision was made, and I totally understand: We are offering five years of episodes – over 400 to date – most of them an hour or more in length. Also, we have become incredibly popular, especially in the last year, because your support has allowed us to grow and promote. Also, Jimmy found a magic Genie who gave him the ability to live a 30-hour day.
Although we’re still upset about the Double Secret Probation our host subjected us to, we now have a plan to move forward. We are moving all our audio files to a media serving service, Libsyn. I will be gradually moving the files over on a post-by-post basis.
Starting today, the most recent episodes will be available, and I’ll continue to add older and older posts over the next few days. You will know when an episode is ready to access because I will append the word *UPDATE* to that show’s post.
