News.Com Podcast Ends Early

I listen to the News.com Daily Tech News podcast, but I have a problem, it always cuts off early.  As they are finishing up the podcast, it just cuts off.

Most recently, they have been running the new Buzz Out Loud Podcast commercials, and those are what is getting cut off.

You may wonder why I care about the commercials at the end of a podcast being cut-off.  Well, the new Buzz Out Loud commercials are pretty good and funny, especially the South Park one.

Also, it is sometimes not a commercial.  Sometimes it is the content of the show and sometimes a story that I am interested in.

This does not happen on any other podcast that I listen to, so I am assuming it is something that is happening in the production of this show.  I use iTunes and have heard of problems like this.  But it does not happen to any other podcast.

News.Com Daily Tech News podcast, I would appreciate you taking a look at this.  I would also be interesting in hearing if anyone else is having this problem.  Leave a comment and let me know.

The Denver Post – Central Park lovers get engaged, mugged

This is a pretty happy evening that turned to a said one.  To propose and have your girlfriend accept and then to get mugged at gun point?

That is quite an evening.

At least he was able to hide the ring from the robber.

I hope things get better for them and they eventually get the dinner at the romantic French Restaurant.

The War by Ken Burns

I am watching this film series, The War by Ken Burns.

This is an incredible film.  It takes a look at the war, not from the expert or historian point-of-view, but from an individual point-of-view.

The beginning jumps around a little and does not go into detail on how the war started and what led to the causes, especially in the Pacific Theater.  But it is a good look at how the war affected common Americans and how they built up to fight the war.

I would encourage everyone to watch it and learn so that this does not happen again.

Media Creates Circus Around O.J.

I just want to know what is happening with the media these days. The circus that was created today around the O.J. hearing and the mess following when he was released on bail.

The media these days is going for stories that many of us could care less about. I personally could care less about what O.J. did in Las Vegas.

Who also cares about what Britney is doing or not doing? Not me. This is not news that should be on the national stage. It may be in news that covers celebrities or Hollywood, but not CNN or MSNBC.
