Kevin, your audio sounds like you are in a barrel. The last show sounds like this aswell. Did you change your mic. I thought maybe this show would sound better. Everybody else sounds okay. I am a regular listener. I didn't hear until show 131 or 132. Your show is informative and enjoyable, hope you are able to fix the audio.

The best deal right now is Sprint Employee referal option A.K.A. SERO. $30.00 for 500 minutes and unlimited data. The treo 755 can be tethered with (usb modem) software and not have a tethering plan. It has a driver that is compatible with Linux, Mac, Windows and then set up a modem connection dialing #777. I know you are a iPhone user but, a smart phone with 3g data and you can tether to your macbook pro, eee pc 701, and samsung q1 ultra. Can be connected by usb or bluetooth. I know you are looking to save some money. A $70.00 per month aircard + iphone $80.00 per month = $1800.00 a year. The sprint plan = $360.00 that would be a savings of $1440.00 a year.

jhall, what's better then three monkeys in a barrel? One of them podcasting in a barrel... ;) You're correct about the sound; my USB headset died and I haven't found a suitable replacement, hence the difference in my audio track. Working on it!
