Testing, testing!

We are so hoping this will be the final time we have to move the podcast!! Mevio was great until they decided to randomly dump people's podcast - and that hurt us, we lost a lot of listeners because of the move. Posterous was working out well - until Twitter obtained them and dropped the site. So - here we are on PostHaven.com! we've been told the site is NEVER going to be sold, EVER. We hope this is true - and we hope this is the beginning of a beautiful, and snuggly friendship. Or hostingship. Or whatever.
