The recent Rapidweaver update broke my ability to designate the location of my podcast separate from the location of the site itself. Therefore, this week's podcast is embedded in this entry. I'm also uploading it to the usual location in the .Public folder of my .Mac account. Talk about a waste of server space. Actually, it's my own fault, as every RW update seems to break something vital (this very same bug existed in a previous version). I should have waited to update, or not updated at all.

Momentum is building, but we still need YOU to contact your representatives act ask them to please support these bills. You can find out more information at SaveNetRadio.org
