Thanks, guys. I may not always agree with everything you say, but you really do an outstanding job. My wife even gets a kick out of listening to it.

I second that... ok not the wife thing, don't got a wife, but those other things he said

Great job!

By the way, I noticed Mixlr has an iPhone app. You can Follow the podcasts on it.

Thanks guys.

Have you considered approaching KNTU about airing your fine work, especially the "post post game show?" I never get in the car before George and Hank are done for the night. Would be nice to turn on the radio and hear you guys offering some NT talk on the ride home, and it is considered more social to listen to the radio in a car full of folks than sticking in the ear phone and listening to an app.

Thanks guys. A bit rusty last night, and we had new equipment that we were fine tuning , but should be back to normal next week. Last year we skipped a few Wednesdays because of the post/post game show, but we received lots of feedback from those wanting the Wednesday night shows to continue. This year we are trying to do both.

The radio part is tough, and we have discussed a few possibilities, but anything we did would probably not be directly with the school, like KNTU.

Last year we used Ustream, mainly because it was a free live feed....The downside was that every once in a while you would lose the feed while you had to watch an ad...,lets be honest, all you saw were two guys sitting there, and it wasn't like we were juggling or anything. At the end of last season we switched to Mixlr. There is an app, but all you have to do is click the link on any computer, Ipad, phone, etc, and it will start playing. There is a 7 second delay when live, so it's great. For those wanting to listen in the car, which is what would want to do, you would do it the same way as listening to music on your phone while driving. Most cars now have the input plug for an external source. All you need to switch the radio to auxilary source, use a two ended male headphones type plug from your phone's headphone jack to the car and click the link. I know it's not as easy as tuning the radio, but it should work for most.....and I am aware that for the younger crowd and tech savy the above directions were comical, but we have gotten messages on how to do it.

As always the pods are usually available in ITunes the next day.

Thanks for listening, and we will see you again next Wednesday for the last of the preseason pods.....working on getting DRC beat writer Brett Vito to join us with any last minute updates and news.

It was nice to see you guys every once in a while, but not essential for my enjoyment of the show. So if the feed is audio only that is quite ok with me. Now if you get yourselves replaced by some knowledgeable beautiful young UNT coeds...
