Hello everyone,I'm taking this opportunity to try using my iphone to record a mini episode using ipadio. I wasn't sure how far to hold the phone away from my face so the volume might not be quite right and I didn't tweak the sound quality in any way so it is what it is. However, the purpose of this mini episode it to let you know that when I went to post episode #112 last Sunday, I found my account at Mevio had been suspended. Apparently they are going in a new direction and without any warning at all, they suspended all accounts that weren't advertising with them.Luckily for me, I only store my shows on their server and don't use their feed service so I was able to store #112 on Dropbox (for now) and this new mini-episode on ipadio. For now, all of my old shows are still accessible to itunes from Mevio but I'm not sure how long it will be before they delete them so I am looking for a new place to store them, and I have created an account on archive.org which looks promising. As soon as I have time, I am going to uploaded all my old shows to the new server and then I will have to change the link on the blog for each episode so hopefully I can get that done soon. If you have just subscribed to the show and none of the old episodes are showing up, that is probably why. Be patient and as soon as I can, I will get things straightened out.Thanks for your patience!Barb
