New feed with archived stories

2007-08-20T21:51:00.000-07:00

I've created a new feed for the Dismay podcast. This feed will help solve the problem of listeners not being able to find previous episodes of my podcast in the iTunes directory. At the moment, the first five episodes of Dismay are available in the feed and I will be adding more in the furture. Eventually, I hope, this new feed will be the only feed. But, for now, listeners should remain subscribed to the current feed.

It may be interesting for those of you who have not listened to the old episodes to hear how much things have changed (and, hopefully, the quality of recording).

The new feed is: http://dismay.libsyn.com/rss

Enjoy.

Apologies and thanks

2007-07-16T23:51:00.000-07:00

Due to my working life, I have not been able to produce an episode of Dismay for some time now despite my promising to do so. I would like to apologize to anyone waiting to listen and hear what happens next in the story. It seems that life can take you places you rarely expect and some things need to be put on hold. I do intend to continue this podcast as I enjoy making it and I enjoy the feedback so many of you have given me.

With that in mind, I would also like to thank everyone who has nominated the Dismay Podcast for Best Serialized Fiction at the Podcast Peer Awards. I appreciate the support. There are some excellent podcasts in the running, and I wish good luck to everyone. Check out the PPAs if you have not heard of them.

Regards,
Sean

2007-05-15T23:56:00.001-07:00

Lyrics for This Life:

And the days go on and on without end
As the months and the years all seem to blend
And you look for answers and search for signs
But they never appear and youre feeling left behind

This life
Is one big test
This life
Leaves you with less
This life
Is one big test
This life
Leaves you with less

The answers arent clear and youll never really know
Just how far you would be willing to go
If you never really tried and you never had to care
Then youll never overcome and youll never be aware

Have you
Loved your best
Have you
Passed the test
Have you
Tried your best
Have you
Passed this test

And the days go on and on without end
As the months and the years all seem to blend
our time here is short and almost at an end
All you have is now, and time is not your friend

Have you
Loved your best
Have you
Passed the test
This life
Is one big mess
This life
Leaves you with less

And the days go on and on without end
As the months and the years all seem to blend
our time here is short and almost at an end
All you have is now, and time is not your friend
