Wow, we actually plan to record!

I'm going to have to check, but I think it's been 3 years since our last episode.  Round up your favorite mic and we'll see you Sunday!

Time is winning this battle!

Just had a chat with the little lady and we're trying like hell to find a way to balance work, living, and getting this show back.  I have to be honest, it's hard to make that once-a-week commitment.  However, I'm hammering out a sched. today as I refuse to give up.  Like anything, it's a matter of inserting the workflow into your calendar.  I'm back to getting up at 4am and traveling at least 8hrs/wk for work.  Seems like every time I find the time for myself something "more important" comes up.  I guess I'm venting, but this is exactly why the show's been on hiatus, we had to turn down DJ jobs as morning radio hosts on the local FM rock station, and well...lots of stuff.  Makes me think, is all.

How rainfall and internet speed are directly proportional in Pura Vida.

Anyone who has been to, or lives in, Costa Rica will know what story the below pictures tell. Furthermore, they’ll know why our band interviews online has been punted, again.

For those wishing clarification; I.C.E. (Costa Rica’s only ISP) + rain when trying to use things like Skype = strange speed reductions therefore and unhappy podcast. I’m now guessing that the internet in Costa Rica somehow has a leaky roof in need of repair, and any significant rainfall results in some sort of hydro-conductive shunting.

And, we're back!

Another whirlwind week with work and many changes afoot in Amy's and my careers.  It meant postponing taping (again) and rethinking how to best manage our time and ensure a high quality program every week.  I love my job, but it's kept us off the airwaves all too often!

Thanks to all the bands who got back to us. It appears we have as many as 8 out of 10 ready to jump on the show!  Considering that feedback, and the great opportunity to interview the groups, I feel we'll have to punt the release to August and prerecord a bunch over the coming weeks.

Anywho, thanks for staying tunes, and yer ears'll be full of that indie soon enough!

No indie taping today (due to independence)

I just wanted to send a quick thank you note to all groups for such warm and supportive responses as we prep our relaunch of the Five Gallon Podcast.
Upon further communication with you all, we (as Canadians) were reminded that today is the 4th of July and many would be unable to participate in the show.  We're goint to punt on this and reschedule timeslots fro July 11th, 7pm EST.
Enjoy your BBQ and fireworks and we'll be taping before you know it!
