Daily Podcast: While the Cat's Away

That's right, folks. While Robert is off this week (and by off, we mean inflating his tires and changing his light bulbs from incandescent to fluorescent), the inmates have control of the asylum. And so far, it has been a valuable learning experience for this writer, at least. New skills include: swearing when the site goes down, as it did for at least an hour earlier today, learning to record podcasts on my computer (we're digital, baby), and hawkishly, Farragously monitoring the comments section. It's just a glimpse into how much work the site actually takes to run – and the burden has been mostly shouldered by superstar Frank Williams, filling out his final week with TTAC. Most of all what I realized though is that it's you people, the readers and commenters that really make the site great. Meanwhile, Jonny and I get into some serious car talk.

    Yeah wow - Justin sounds really different not on the (cell) phone. I mean this in a good way.

    AOL is still around. I thought they went out of business when I stopped getting their CD's in the mail every week. The sites been doing flakey things that last week so it might not be AOL but it probably is. Interesting podcast, I had a hard time telling who was who until about 4 minutes in, Justin how do you change your voice like that. Robert isn't that far away from the site since he is still responding to emails.

    I have have had dns flakiness from various sites since the DNS poisoning attacks were announced not too long ago.

    I don’t know why Frank is leaving or where he’s going, but he’s left you some pretty big shoes to fill. You don't know how true that is.
