Posted this here on Monday, but I figured an extra shout out was worth it:

Huzzah! Holy Goddamn has made its triumphant return to the imaginary airwaves. AI now have separate RSS feeds for both Scratchbomb.com and the Holy Goddamn! Podcast Experience. If you're new to the whole podcasting thing, go here and click on the radio to learn The How.

The Why? Well, I decided that I liked doing radio. Since my outlet has been removed from the real airwaves, podcasting is the next best thing. If'n you don't know, it's basically on-demand radio that functions much in the way that RSS feeds do (in fact, podcasts are disseminated via xml files that are basically RSS feeds, but I won't get too nerdy on ya right now). What a podcast client like iPodder does is check the podcasts you subscribe to and starts downloading files in the background while you spend valuable internet time building your fantasy team or posting to your favorite slash fiction site. Once it's downloaded, you can listen to it at your leisure (or not, but why would you subscribe if you didn't wanna hear it, dumbass?).

This is still somewhat experimental, which is why the first show is numbered 000. These shows will be much more prepared than my OfficeOps outings (a good thing, trust me), and I will actually have some prolonged comedy bits. The zero'th episode contains a "live broadcast" from a danceathon circa 1940 that I'm certain will entertain at least one person other than myself. Future shows will feature much more of this kinda stuff, but for this dry run I only ventured one real comedical thrust.

Again, this is kind of a beta test, so I encourage you to inform me of any problems, or let me know how I can improve on my humble efforts.
