Customer Reviews
This should be a five star review ...
But it's been literally months since they've added a new podcast. It's like they've given the job to the old guy in the back of the office with the mickey of Famous Grouse in his filing cabinet.
How are those podcasts coming, Ted?
(wink) I'm on it.
Ted's actually given up on the kids and their internets, really. He figures they don't read, so why would they care about a podcast series?
Please, for the love of God, ask him to get back to work.
