		<title>Podholes #22: Live From Balticon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, everyone.  We&#8217;re alive.  We didn&#8217;t podfade on purpose; we&#8217;ve just been slammed with a number of other projects, and it took a while for things to return to pseudo-normality for both of us.
We have new episodes in the can already to post over the next week or two.  Meanwhile, here&#8217;s an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Podholes #20: 8-Track Balls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Very sorry for the late posting on this one, folks.  We actually recorded it on time, but Steve screwed up on getting it posted.

Steve splurges on the Shure Beta 58 instead of the SM58.  Conclusion: It is a sexy beast.
Proximity Effect: usually not your friend.  Don&#8217;t get too close.

		<title>Podholes #18: Zoom-Zoom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We live!  No apologies, just fresh podholery.

Okay, we talk a little about the Zoom H2 as well.

		<description><![CDATA[P.A.P. Smear #6: We critique the February 3, 2007 episode of Submission and Coffee With Dollie Llama. 
It&#8217;s the audio journal of a BDSM relationship.  Obviously this is not a P.A.P. Smear for the kids.  (As if any of them ever were.)
