This show is a great hour of music.
It was nice hearing the old and the new versions of some classic songs.
You gotta listen to this one.

Hi, thanks to both Don and Mike...

What I meant was, if you made the podcast available to subscribers via iTunes, then whenever a new episode was ready iTunes would automatically download it to my iPod. It could also be set up to download all of the past shows at the same time.

I subscribe to about 10 podcasts and I've been conditioned to get my content that way. All the ones I subscribe to are free (though there are many listed on iTunes that are not) and it's quite convenient for a listener.

If there's some reason you don't want to do this, I'll continue going to Mike's site and downloading them manually. It's just that then, I have to remember to do it, and... well you know how that goes.

Darrell,

I really appreciate your interest and listenership. Thank you, so very much! I will have to follow-up if this can be done. Mainly, this is the show that is broadcasted on a radio station and it technically belongs to them. I am uploading the pod casts on my web site for the convenience of those that can not catch my Saturday afternoon FM broadcast or the live stream of the radio station. I would not want to do something that they might not want me to do.

Darrell
You must understand this point and Mike may have not wanted to mention this.

Mike does this free of charge and pays all the bills.

He receives no compensation for his sharing this wondeful music for all of us to listen to.

This is not a BUSINESS for Mike.

WVOF radio is in charge as Mike has mentioned about what goes on the air other than on Mike's personal website pod-cast.

He does it because he loves to share his vast knowledge and collection of material he has to the listening world.

If you find this a problem for you, then I think you are in the minority.

Mike has been doing this on the air for over 30 years.

He needs a pat on the back for this.
Not a comment such as yours so you can just lay back and let someone else do the work for your listening pleasure.
Don

Well, I didn't think it was a negative comment at all, but I apologize if it was taken that way.

Don Sulesky · Post by **Don Sulesky** » 19 Aug 2009 6:14 pm

Thanks Darrell
I just wanted not only you but all those who listen to Mike's Show to understand his position.
I have known Mike for 20 years and a sweeter guy is very had to find.

Don,

Thanks ever so much for all of your support over the years. You are really appreciated. Your kind words are also appreciated. Yes, all I want to do is let all enjoy these wonderful artists and the wonderful music.

Darrell,

Thanks ever so much for your interest and please do listen and do make the extra step to download the show each week. The most important thing is to ENJOY! Thank You!
