If you want to reach any of the crew directly at the new addy, just mark it attention Brad, Glenn, or Christina!

Hey gang,

As some of you guys may nave noticed the past couple of days there have been problems with downloading episodes of the show. (and the slow loading of the sites) The place that hosts PodCulture, The GeekSpin and a LOT of the other Farpoint Media shows had a switch quit working. New hardware is on order and should be installed by the end of this weekend.

In the meantime the number of connections that can be made to the server is limited, so please keep checking back as you WILL be able to download episodes, however it may take several tries. There are a couple of options if anyone should want to try them:

A. Try downloading again later…system may work then.

B. Try downloading via iTunes, (or another podcatcher) sometimes they cache the files and you may be able to get a copy thru them, or

C. ping me on Skype (username: PodCulture) and I can manually send you the file.

I apologize for any problems you are having, and thank you for sticking with us thru these pesky issues that pop up now and again.

Peace,

Brad

About FarPoint Media
With 73 shows currently on the air or in development , FarPoint Media is a leading producer and distributor of quality radio and podcast entertainment, with its eye to the future of vidcasting. The company offers a variety of content with channels designed for diverse programming choices.We have sci-fi media and genre-related literature shows featuring news and interviews with actors, producers and writers creating your favorite TV programs and books, and we have discussion shows fans can immerse themselves in.

The three jewels in the FarPoint Media crown are the Dragonpage Cover to Cover (C2C), “Wingin’ It 3D” (WI-3D) and Slice of SciFi (SoSF) programs.

C2C is the show that started it all. Each program hosts an award-winning author of fantasy, fiction and science fiction, covering the latest offerings from the writer being interviewed and the novel under discussion.

WI-3D is just want the name implies, an irreverent time where friends, celebrities and personalities get together in the studio in a no-holds-bar romp where the discussion can end up on just about anything.

SoSF is an hour-long show of news, entertainment and guest interviews centering on the world of science fiction, horror, fantasy and other genre-related topics. Very structured, SoSF works off of a tightly written script and has featured interview with actors such as Samuel K. Jackson and Amanda Tapping, producers/writers and directors like Peter Mohan, N. John Smith and Martin Wood. Also featured are young up-and-coming filmmakers like Mark Lund and Shane Felux, as well as, award winning authors like Peter S. Beagle, Tanya Huff and Jim Butcher. SoSF has made the unique crossover from a stand-alone podcast to where it can now also be heard on XM-Satellite Radio.

The PodCulture forums will be spinning off into their own little corner of the cyber-verse over at http://forums.podculture.net We will be cross-posting at the original forums over at www.Bluegrassbrowncoats.net for awhile as a transition period. We really want to thank Adam (aka Casivona) for all the work he’s done in setting up the original forums for us and allowing PodCulture to hang out here while we were first getting started in the podcasting world.

The changes will really be effective when Episode 50 is put out, however if you want to get an early start in the new forums, head over to http://forums.podculture.net and check them out! There is also a link for the NEW forums here on the main PodCulture page. (left hand column about half-way down the page)

Again thanks to everyone who has posted here, and who has supported us while we have been a part of the BGBC site. The original PodCulture forums will always be very special to us. We hope to see you on the new forums soon!

Peace,

Brad
