I missed you! Not enough to return to full time podcasting but I did contact some of our lovely, talented, beautiful regulars to help put together a one off My Top 5 Christmas Special. So I hope you’re enjoying a nice break and eating your body weight in gravy and stuffing. Here’s to a Happy Christmas and an Excellent 2009!

Just a little side note. This podcast won’t show up with iTunes Store podcast feed because wordpress.com is a restrictive bastard. If anyone has a free filehost I can fix it but otherwise you’ll have to just download it from the site.

Farewell Podcast. Thanks for listening

So here we are, the final podcast. I want to give a very big thank you to everyone who has supported My Top Five over the last year. I’ve had fun making it and interacting with you guys and hope you’ve enjoyed it too. I won’t say this a final goodbye and hopefully you’ll keep in touch at my other blog: Nerdrock. If you’re still craving a top five fix, then the archive will still be available for download. It’s been emotional.
