Feed Updates

Hello everyone! For those looking for iTunes feeds, I have word the the OLD iTUNES FEED will eventually change to snag the new site. Until then Tara of Galaxion tells us that

“iTunes users can: go to the “Advanced” dropdown menu in iTunes, and select “Subscribe to podcast”. Paste in: http://wcbeacon.rampagenetwork.com/?feed=podcast

Thanks for that tidbit, and anyone using the OLD SITE’S FEED, it *may* update once the domain is transfered, however, you can click on http://wcbeacon.rampagenetwork.com/?feed=podcast for the feed now. Let us know if there are any issues!

EDIT:

Also, as far as Ep 37’s broadcast and recording, I appologize, and it seems that all parties had something that cause error at the last minute… um… and I slepr over an hour and a half passed the stated record time … SORRY!
