Granted, as I've mentioned a few times, I'm still "stuck" on AA #5, but I have a request:

I like the fact that your podcasts are verbal versions of your blog: a wrap-up of your thoughts of that week, if you will.

But I think a lot of your readers, would also enjoy some totally original topics, which could serve as an encouragement to listen to the podcasts more regularly.

Ignore this comment, if that's what you've done from 6-12. *g*

Cheers,
Victoria

Victoria, dear, please do try to catch up. She has music on the podcast now which is totally original and perfectly delightful. It's jangly and cool and simply not available on the blog.

Also, she recites song parodies in cadences worth every one of the ten dollars I sent her.

Speaking of parodies, where else but the podcast are you going to hear her laugh out loud - yes, audibly out loud - at the talented comic writing of noted notable commenters who contributed to the best post on Althouse since maidenform bras - commenters who she graciously credits for her latest instalanche? Not her inaudible blog, you won't.

Incidentally, and this information has been previously unavailable anywhere but her podcast, if each one of her 2,663,895 visitors would only find their way to coughing up just one lousy buck, she'd have the means to purchase singing lessons.

Ok i'll bite, Prof. Althouse why do you have DEC 69 as one of the month's in your archives (but no files) over at Audible Althouse?

XWL: That's a mystery to me as well. It seems to be paranormal.

Victoria: I follow the blog but also digress, so there is unique material over there. Plus, as lmeade says, there's the cool music.

That answer just leads to more questions.

What kind of spectre haunts websites inserting random links to non existent content?

(not Phil Spector I hope, that hair is frightening)

(and yes I am addicted to parenthetical statements, but I'm not ready to admit it's a problem, yet)

Ever since I heard Althouse podcast #11, I have been trying to decide what your new theme music reminded me of . . . then yesterday it hit me: Wayne's World! Especially the way your first line or two of spoken words closely mirror the last line of the song. I love it!
