We wish you all a merry and blessed Christmas season!

PhotoCast18- What does PhotoCast mean?

feedback.photocast@gmail.com (Daniel Smrokowski) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 13:49:00 -0600

In this episode, I begin the show by talking about two new Christian movies-the movie, Come What May, is now available on DVD; and the movie, Standing Firm, is coming on DVD in 2010. I then briefly talk about how the season of advent is ending and how Christmas is coming. Then, I tell you about my upcoming trip to PA over the new years holiday to visit my cousins. I then share with you about this video that I recorded while I was live on the air at WRBC: the blaze. After that, I share with you some audio feedback that I recieved from my cousin; and I tell you about the facebook fan page that I set up. To end the show, I ramble on about what is the meaning of this podcast and what does this podcast, photocast, mean and what is has to do with everything that I share on the podcast. I welcome you to join in the conversation in sharing what you think photocast means.
