This is the Week of New Podcasts^TM, is it not? The Weekly Theme Show is a brand new audio production featuring myself and two people you probably don’t know. This show will discuss WordPress themes, weekly, from a user’s perspective (and not a developer’s).

Justin Jones and Nicholas Weaver, who I can now proudly call co-hosts as well as friends, are both WordPress users here in my city. You’ll get to know them better as the show goes on and they post here more often, but right now all you need to know is that they use WordPress and WordPress themes a lot.
