We're not back yet. My voice is still totally shot. But here's a brand-new promo! If you've got a show, hey, feel free to include this sometime! :)

Podcast Pickle Show #1848

Opening and Closing Music - Save Me by The Napolean Blown Aparts

Bumper: Podcast Pickle

The Big Idea: Magnatune

• Independent label, motto "We are not evil"
• Artists retain all rights, share fairly in revenue
• All songs can be previewed for free at site
• Customers can adjust how much they pay
• no-DRM downloads or print-on-demand CDs
• and they treat podcasters nicely!

Music: When My Baby Plays the Trombone by Burnshee Thornside

This, however, is a new show, featuring five web-based services you might not know about (and probably should.) Ran a bit longer than I expected, but that's fine, not bad at all. Oh, and it's all me, this time. Enjoy.
