we update one of our earliest -- and still most popular -- shows, in which we talk about how we put together the podcast, the tools we use, and choices we make; and
we send you on vacation with Chapter news and events.

Note: A funny thing happened on the way to the podcast...well, not funny so much as disastrous. We recorded a delightful and informative interview with Clive Shepherd, direct from the UK. We also recorded a great interview with Jim Maddock, direct from Seattle. Both were on the phone, and both were recorded.

Or at least we thought so. Two days later, the audio file never appeared. Unfortunately, our conference calling service ... didn't quite get the call recorded. We apologize that you'll never get to hear those interviews -- we'll work with those guests and try to re-book them for an upcoming episode instead.

In the meantime, we opted to accede to popular demand and update our "All About the Podcast" show instead. Enjoy!
