I’ve temporarily restricted access to all the podcast files of For the Sake of the Songwhile I straighten this out. I should have things back up tomorrow or Saturday. Thanks for your patience.

Hiatus is over. It’s time to communitize.
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008After posting about 50 daily posts for my 40 Days of Catholic Media project, I thought I would take a couple days off before I got back to posting here.

Day 26: I surrender. 40 Days of Catholic Media is a Podcast
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008I surrender. 40 Days of Catholic Media is a podcast. When I started this project I deliberately didn’t call it a podcast.
