Administrivia...

Hi everyone,

It's the "Tech Guy" here, with a bit of administrivia to report: for those of you who use iTunes as your "podcatcher" program, the RSS feed for the podcast has been tweaked a bit in FeedBurner and it now includes the iTunes specific tags that will let you add Cinéfolle to your podcast subscriptions in iTunes. You can do this by selecting Advanced > Subscribe to Podcast... from the menus and entering the feed URL http://www.cinefolle.org/rss.xml in the pop-up window, then click the OK button.

Cinéfolle and the available episodes should then appear listed under the Podcasts heading. Depending on how you have podcasts configured in iTunes, you may need to manually update the podcast to check for new episodes or it may be set to check for and download new episodes automagically. If it hasn't downloaded a new episode or you want to pick up earlier ones that you don't have, you can click on an episode's GET button in the list to download it.

You can, as always, just use The Podcatcher Of Your Choice instead of iTunes to subscribe to the RSS feed (click on the nifty Subscribe icon in the sidebar), or drop in here at the shownotes page from time to time and see if there's a new episode to download. We like giving you a choice...

Finally, up to this point La Cinéfolle hasn't made up her mind whether or not to submit Cinéfolle to the iTunes Store to be listed in their podcast directory, from whence it could be subscribed to directly -- perhaps some encouragement in the comments or via e-mail would help convince her to take the plunge...

Yr fthfl srvnt,

The Tech Guy

Episode 8: I Saw the Light

Cinéfolle Episode 8 (duration 28:05 - MP3 file size 25.8 MB)

Finally we reach Episode 8, in which your intrepid heroine reveals her Inner Grinch, and recounts a series of epiphanies.

As with so much in life, the best thoughts came at the end, after I'd finished recording. As I was listening to the Tech Guy's final editing magic, I realized that much like today's film, in which the three Magi follow signs and have the right people thrown in their path at the right moment, so, too, is the life of la Cinéfolle. For which I am truly grateful.

Y'all know who you are. But thanks.
