The Gastrocast

Wow. Like, holy Shit wow. It really doesn’t pay to go ego-surfing about your podcast sometimes. I’ve got a pretty WTF, I could care less attitude, but I just stumbled across such a hurtful comment  about me and the show, I am taken aback. Don’t people remember the rule, "if you don’t have anything nice to say, keep your fucking mouth shut!"??

But hey, this is who I am. I do this for myself. If you don’t like it unsubscribe. No one is making you listen. If you’ve got something to say, say it–be critical, but don’t attack me, who I am or what I do. Be constructive so I can know what to improve. Small minded, vitupritive crassness does no one any good. So much for the great place the podcasting "community" was.

Voting for the Podcast Awards has closed.



Thanks to everyone who voted for the show, I really appreciate it!



Results are due out this Friday, August 5th.



Fingers crossed!



Nevertheless, a new month is upon us–please vote at Podcast Alley to help keep the show in the top 1000.

As more and worse pseudo food and drink shows dilute the category we must show others how we feel!



Wow! I just hit Podcast Alley to checkout my page–With one vote (Thanks Frank!) I shot up from Ranking 726 to 264 for the month and I stepped from place #12 in the Food & Drink category to #4–keep the pressure up and let’s show the big boys that a lengthy podcast about food with attached photosets matters too.

Your votes matter for three reasons–they show me that people are listening, they help me gauge the response to the show and it helps me to fuck with the small minded, self-important people who won’t promote the show or tell me to shut up. Oh, and reason #4, as if you didn’t know–your votes make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.



So please, everyone who reads this, VOTE now–not for me or the show per se, but for the idea that any show can make it with enough support.



Thanks again.
