Dave Shepherd announces a summer vacation for and from The Word Nerds. The show will return with new editions on September 9.
(This is take 2 of this program. Take 1 was done using Übercaster, but Dave hasn’t yet learned all the ins and outs of that new Macintosh podcasting software. You’re not imagining things: there is more program in the right side of your headphones than in the left. Sorry!) (1:55)
In order to get a bit of summer in before the start of school, Dave will take five weeks off from producing and uploading new shows. (2:28)
