update

Well, it looks as though the podcast is going to be biweekly. We're all a bunch of busy college students, and some of us have jobs too along with the other OUSS stuff we do. I hope everyone liked the first episode. We plan on constantly improving the podcast as we become more familiar with the process and equipment - such as rotating in different people, getting interviews, trying other ideas for 'segments.' Thanks for listening and for being patient.

Thanks,

David

Next episode

We recorded the 2nd episode, but had technical difficulties with the 2nd half, so we have to rerecord part of it.

Hopefully we'll have it up by tomorrow.
