Changes to Gildy, LoL, and Suspense

RelicRadio — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 14:40:11 +0000

**UPDATE**

The Legacy Of Laughs and Great Gildersleeve Replay feeds have been switched over. New shows are listed now, but all the old shows are gone. Sorry, there was no way around it.

I discovered late last night that the Relic Radio account on Mevio has been suspended. It appears they’re being more selective with the shows they host – asking people to apply for the privilege. I’ve decided to go a different route.

What Does This Mean?

As I type this, older episodes from The Great Gildersleeve Replay, and Legacy Of Laughs, are still available via the feed. Suspense Replay has been deleted.

If there are any episodes you haven’t heard GRAB THEM NOW!

I will be deleting all Relic Radio shows from Mevio by February 1 (unless Mevio pulls the feeds first). Those old episodes will be deleted in the process, and won’t be available any longer. Those shows will be continued from wherever they left off as soon as I can get things configured.

The feeds for Gildy and Legacy Of Laughs will remain the same. If you are subscribed through iTunes, etc. you’ll continue to get the newest shows (as soon as I set it up). Nothing is required on your part.

Suspense Replay may be merged with the Relic Radio Show. I’m still thinking about that…

Sorry for the lack of notice about all this. I was not notified about the shutdown prior to its happening.

We’ll get things fixed – stay tuned!
