This is an absolute scream. You have to hear this!

Darcy and Holly are a blind couple with a podcast. In this “special episode” they take on a driving game that’s designed for the blind. But as Holly says, “friends don’t let friends drive blind”.

Is it funnier to me because I love driving games?

I’ve got more Macworld expo highlights for you, including my thoughts on how podcasting fits into the Macworld zeitgeist. There’s also an interview with Elizabeth from Circus Ponies, makers of Notebook software.

Deb Shadovitz and I intended to record a short wrapup of Macworld Expo for Victor Cajiao, host of the Typical Mac User podcast. We talked for an hour and figured Victor would edit us into a short segment. Instead, he posted the conversation as a special show on his feed. Check it out for thoughts on the keynote, and a few obscure show highlights. (Can there be an obscure highlight? Hmm.)

Wow! I’ve been away from The Podcast Pickle for most of a week, and when I checked in today, I discovered that this program, Shelly’s Podcast, is in the Top 25, based on Pickle favorites. You guys are the best audience in the universe.

For a more cogent and family-friendly response, I refer you to this post from Jeff Bishop. He’s absolutely right.

“Today is Louis Braille’s birthday and in celebration of that fact Google has made their logo done up in Braille characters. OK Google, nice, but why don’t you actually do something useful like fix your visual verification issues for blind computer users, now that would be a nice gift. Don’t worry, it won’t happen. I am afraid it is going to take court action to get Google to move. I sincerely hope I am wrong.”

Catching up with the December haps, and a bit of a Macworld Expo preview. Also, I would love it if you would send over some audio to help me celebrate one year of Shelly’s Podcast. Thanks 🙂

Podcasting from my boudoir direct to your earbuds, it’s the long-awaited return of Shelly’s Podcast. Today it’s news of podcast wars (the good kind), the holidays, and a remodeling wrap-up. I play not one, but two podsafe songs for you, and explain why my life as a book author is so so trying.

I am no Rogic Podcast Conglomerate, but I do have three podcasts; this one, The Tracy-Hepburn Podcast, and the brand-spanking new one, Hollywood On The Radio. The latter two are about really old film and radio stuff. You probably wouldn’t be interested.

Did I mention that I’m a promotional genius?

Here’s my segment from Podcast Pickle’s Portable Media Expo show.

Update: After this show was uploaded, we had two more contest entreas. Yea! I’ll do a short contest entry show tomorow or the next day.

My pleas for contest entries continue, I talk more about remodeling and iPods, and there’s even a baseball follow-up.

Steve makes announcements; Shelly makes a show. More on the guest co-host contest, and news of babies and remodeling.

Update: I’ve been asked whether the winner of the guest co-host contest will have a permanent gig or not. Actually, I’m looking for someone to co-host a single show to be recorded in early/mid-November.

It’s a wide-ranging show today, beginning with a big contest announcement, and rambling on through some tech, the saga of the Disabilities node, and rolling to s gentle stop after a personal podcast pick and some shout outs.

Smeagol, pictured below, won the first Friday podcat poll. Thank you all for voting. Smeagol had twice the votes of Gremlin and Weasel. Ivar and Eric, who received no votes, are inconsolable.

You know that expression about nervous cats in rooms full of rocking chairs? Does Smeagol look nervous to you?

Here’s a little show recorded with the iRiver during my evening walk to the house.

Lovely Rita, the .Mac shuffle, and my quest for a Disabilities node on iPodder.org.
