In a traditional "podcast" of prerecording, you obviously couldn't phone in live. But you can also do some internet radio like on live365 where you have a live segment at a particular time and either patch through the real phone or skype(or both), along with taking instant messenger messages. Then you can also release the broadcast as a podcast archive after. I listen to at least one broadcast (for yo-yos) which does it that way and it seems to work well. That's probably be best of both worlds if you want some live interaction. chris, well it depends. In a traditional “podcast” of prerecording, you obviously couldn’t phone in live.

Shy guys wish girls like Nora existed in high school. I'm an old guy w/o an iPod, but aren't people unable to phone in live to a podcast, as the teens did on the pirate radio show in PUMP UP THE VOLUME?

I’m an old guy w/o an iPod, but aren’t people unable to phone in live to a podcast, as the teens did on the pirate radio show in PUMP UP THE VOLUME?

Jack FM is a good station if you're sick of CDs. But radio, since I moved from the San Fran Bay Area and lost my beloved ALICE, has blown chunks. On the up side, it motivated me to check Internet radio! Radio sucks here, too. Jack FM is a good station if you’re sick of CDs.

I think there are a couple of songs that can be downloaded directly from the site.

How interesting, that you met him! And yeah, I'd like to find more (any) Christian music that deals with the world and modern issues instead of worship (not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's not what I'm looking for). Lea: Radio's pretty much already dead around here. The only station I can stand listening to (besides NPR) compares itself regularly to an ipod, which is where the focus has moved.

"They're both strong movies about the teenage experience that don't boil down to "who's taking me to prom?"" YES.

“They’re both strong movies about the teenage experience that don’t boil down to “who’s taking me to prom?”"

YES.

He is now into movie making and just released his first film on DVD, "The Second Chance". I haven't seen it yet. He played at the Flood Zone once and I was part of the set-up crew. Nice guy, very approachable. Christian music needs him and his acidic wit badly. Johanna, Steve Taylor released one more solo album after CG.

He was doing some work with the Newsboys, but that seems to have stopped, too. Shame. Thanks, Guy! That CG CD is pretty rare, Ed — I’ve never seen it, but I got the MP3 tracks.

I'm glad to see its still worth watching. I will have to put it on my Netflix list. Also, I'm huge fan of Steve Taylor and have everything he has put out, including the Chagall Guevara CD. I wish they would have put out more albums. Johanna, I woundered how that film would hold up over time. I’m glad to see its still worth watching. I will have to put it on my Netflix list.
