    I’ve downloaded the podcast on taking photos from your kayak but can only hear the voice, not the video itself. Any ideas? Yes I do have iTunes and it loaded in there. I can hear it from there.

    @Jillian – the podcast is actually just audio this time. We’re looking into including the photos in the podcast, but it’s unlikely we’ll have video any time soon. Sorry for the confusion!

    Funny you should blog about this podcast. I listened to it yesterday while driving from North Carolina back to South Carolina. Something I would like to see is a page or blog post list this one for each podcast so we could see the photos mentioned without having to do a whole lot of hunting around for it.

    BTW, July is just about over so don’t forget about that equipment post. 🙂
