The twenty-first episode of the pmaCAST is here. The new episode runs a little bit over an hour and fifteen minutes and features some of my favorite songs of the moment. I’m pretty confident that you all will like this one.
There are two ways I want you guys to get the pmaCAST: the easiest way is to subscribe to the podcast via iTunes, for free of course. Every time I upload a new episode onto iTunes, it will automatically download onto your computer. The version of the episodes found on iTunes are enhanced with chapters (you can skip to whichever song you want), if you have an iPod or iPhone.
For those iTunes-impaired people out there, you can still download the .mp3 version of this podcast by clicking here. Read on for the tracklist of this episode. Continue reading →
