April 6, 2018 – No Show This Week

Hi folks,

The unfortunate, as it has a number of times already this year, has reared its ugly head once again and there won’t be a new show for you to enjoy this week.  The culprit this time was work, or more specifically, the abundance which caused both Mike and Dennis to be up to their respective wazoos in it and not have any time left to record a show.  Things will hopefully calm down next week and allow Mike and Dennis to bathe you in their velvety, dulcet tones once again.

In the meantime, we encourage you to get your fill of our dulcet tones by checking out the many past episodes available for download here on our site, and on both our iTunes and Google Play pages.

March 30, 2018 – No Show This Week

Hey friends,

Just wanted to give you all a friendly reminder that we’re off this week for the Easter holiday long weekend.  Don’t worry, we’ll be back with a brand-new show for your listening pleasure next week on Friday, April 6th.

In the meantime, we encourage you to get your fill of our dulcet tones by checking out the many past episodes available for download here on our site, and on both our iTunes and Google Play pages.

March 2, 2018 – No Show This Week

Hi, folks.  I have the unpleasant task of informing you that there will not be a new show for this week.  Trust us, we are aware of the hiccups in releasing shows for you this year, and just when it appeared that we had some momentum in releasing shows with a new-found sense of regularity, we encounter another stumbling block.  The issue this week is not one of either life or illness as was the case with past weeks.  Instead, what we encountered were technical problems.  Specifically, our main computer used for recording, (along with many other important things), was seriously wanting to die.  The troubleshooting process is still ongoing, but we’re hoping to have this thing licked and be back again with you next week.

February 2, 2018 – No Show This Week

Hi folks,

Unfortunately, there will not be a new show for you this week as Mike was tied up with work all week and unable to get away to record with Dennis.  It has been a bit of wonky schedule for the show so far this year, but life happens sometimes and things should be returning to normal after this.  Plus, next week isn’t all that far away and will be here before you know it!

January 19, 2018 – No Show This Week

Hi folks,

Unfortunately, there will not be a new show for you this week as both Mike and Dennis have fallen ill in recent days.  Don’t worry, it’s nothing major and isn’t anything to worry about.  Mike has simply come down with an unpleasant stomach bug, while Dennis is suffering from a case of the flu that’s been going around.  Hopefully, with this week off, both will be back up and close to 100% to deliver a new show for you next week.

However, this unforeseen week away does make for an awkward pattern in our release calendar as we will be away once again the week of Friday, February 2nd as Mike will be pre-occupied with work that week.  But, life doesn’t always go according to plan and getting sick is something beyond our control.  So all we can do is make up for the lack of shows by increasing the awesome in the ones we are releasing!
