Welcome to Episode 10.  We have a wonderful flash fiction piece read by the author, David Lee Summers, entitled Cinnamon Hot Chocolate and Gold.  I was drawn to the title because I'm a big fan of cinnamon hot chocolate.  I guess the dead are too.

Lastly, some of us podcasters have noticed that people are still under the mistaken impression that they need an Ipod to listen to podcasts.  While I really love my Ipod, the truth is you don't need an Ipod to listen.  To this end, the band, Uncle Seth, has a PSA announcement -- and a darn good one!  Check it out here at: http://www.musicpodcast.ca/podcast-psa/

The song, You Don't Need an Ipod, we're playing here is courtesy of the band, Uncle Seth.  They've asked that I include these links to their websites on the show notes: http://musicface.com/uncleseth/news.html. Also they'd like me to point out that John C. Havens of the About.com Guide To Podcasting is their co-writer, and to link to http://podcasting.about.com/ as well.
