I'm happy to say that there are going to be big changes around here, but not necessarily ones that you guys will notice. I've gotten a new job that gets me off shift work and back into regular human hours, there will be far fewer instances of the show being late because work got in the way. As a way to celebrate, here's a brand new show *on time* and featuring a couple of tracks from the Machines against hunger compilation!

So last week I took a week off for summer vacation and as soon as I announced it Chris, our ever faithful "program director" emailed me and said that he would have done a fill in show!

OK, I deliberately waited until this morning to get the show out because I managed to pick up a wicked summer cold over the past few days and it went to nest in my throat. It's kinda hard to do the show when you sound like a frog thats been gargling drano and feel just about the same. Man, what a lovely visual. At any rate, we've got a great show for you this week as we eagerly anticipate the fall release schedule! Gotta get those CDs into the stores before Christmas!

This is where I hang my head in shame. I'm in full summer mode, as after spending the day along the water front here in Toronto, and having a nice Korean lunch, what do I do? Do I post RSA? Nope I spend the afternoon playing Guitar Hero 3 and watching Venture Bros. While I usually wind up taking 2 weeks off a year, the time isn't right yet, so better a late show than none at all!

Interestingly my girlfriend (gently) gets on my case when I haven't gotten the show done on time. This weekend she's away in NYC and yet I still think "Better get this done before I get beaten!"

Yeah, the show is a day late, but even DJ Todd needs a short vacation every now and then. Plus add shift work into the mix and you have a recipe for things just not getting done as fast as they should. But never fear, I rolled out of bed and into the "studio" this morning to bring you this weeks RSA just as fast as I could!

Just a quick note on podcasting/iTunes. At long last I've managed to get Apple to un-block RSA from the iTunes podcast directory. Sorta. I basically had to create a new feed just for them. If you already have subscribed to the RSS/Podcast feed manually there is no need to do anything more. However, if you haven't and use iTunes, then just follow the link!

RSA Listeners Month!

OK, I once again completely forgot about listeners month. I blame all of the T shirt stuff, though I do notice that over the years it has slowly migrated from April to May and now to June.

Listeners month is a way to encourage some interaction around here. I want to hear what *you* want to hear. Rather than the odd request, this is your chance to program RSA! All you need to do is write up a list of 10 tracks and I'll make a show out of them! If I choose your play list I generally try to get a photo of you to slap on the site as well.

Submissions can be made via email, or:
