Potter's Wheel-The Podcast

What an Idiot!

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Mon, 15 May 2006 13:02:47 PDT

You would think that if a guy was excited about posting the finale of his podcast, he would get the whole thing up on the Internet on at least the 2nd try. Well, here is the 3rd try and I am almost certain that it works. It picks up with the car chase where 22 dropped for some reason. I traced the problem to either iTunes or my FTP client. I guess you get what you pay for!

None the less, enjoy the ending.....for real this time!

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 12:40:49 PDT

I had a problem uploading The final chapter , clipping off my thank you and closing to all of the listeners who stuck out the podcast again. Download it again and jump ahead to the last couple of minutes or so.

Chapter 22: All In - The Final Podcast

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Wed, 12 Apr 2006 16:48:43 PDT

This is it folks! Potter finally gets what has been coming to him for a long time in this the final chapter.

High speed chases, wrecks on Indian Reservations, and the true identity of Potter are what you have to look forward to during this the conclusion to my novel Potter's Wheel.

Huge thank yous go out to everyone who has listened to the story progress. Your emails were all truly appreciated as was your patience with the amount of time it sometimes took to post the chapters.

Feel free to email me with your thoughts about the story as a whole or if you are in a position to help bring the story to print.

Again, Thank you!

Chapter 20::The Second Season

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Tue, 14 Mar 2006 02:31:56 PST

Potter's Wheel The Podcast returns after a big break with Chapter 20

Chuck, Bill, Kevin, and Terry are reunited with their families before facing the media. With the craziness of the past days under a little control, everyone settles into suites at the Rio where they will be assisting cops in the ensuing hunt for Potter.

Check out these pics of Chuck and Kelly's Rio Rainforest Suite that I took during one of my last trips.

Chapter 19: Jackie's Place

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Sun, 08 Jan 2006 11:53:59 PST

Potter's Wheel the Podcast has returned with Chapter 19

Now that the heat is off of our guys, the focus of the police switches toward finding the real crooks. They are mighty stumped when the only recognizable prints come back belonging to the diceased Mullethead. Luck finds them though when a smoldering hot crime scene is uncovered at Jackie's apartment.

Chapter 18: A Dark and Shadowy Figure

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Fri, 09 Dec 2005 04:22:35 PST

Chapter 18 is now available.

After the disappointment of finding the Hutchins Cousins in no shape to get them to safety, Chuck, Bill, Kevin, and Terry return to the Gold Coast to find someone waiting for them.

Who could this dark and shadowy figure be?

Chapter 17: The Good Doctor Potter

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Wed, 23 Nov 2005 03:13:52 PST

Chapter 17 is now online.

You will remember that Potter's Wheel-the Novel is still very much a work in progress and so when I got to Chapter 17 in my manuscript, I realized that it well....it pretty much...yeah it sucked, badly!

So, I had some editorial decisions to make and that slowed me down a bit. So did work on a Master's Degree and several unforeseeable twists and turns in the family life. But, I am proud to report things have settled down and that I now have Chapter 17 ready for your listening pleasure.

We jazz things up a bit this week with a band out of Poland called No Plastic Inside and their appropriately named tune "Lights of Las Vegas". Check these guys out at their website. Also visit Music.podshow.com for lots of great "podsafe" music.

In this chapter we finally get back to the comings and goings of Potter and learn a little more about the four real thieves and their where-abouts.

I hope you enjoy this one. You really didn't want to hear the last one. Now I have to decide what becomes of that community meeting at the church back in Riverton. We shall see. But, I promise it will be a lot easier to listen to than what it would have been.

Chapter 16: Loose Ends

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Fri, 04 Nov 2005 07:14:51 PST

Will the Hutchins cousins come through and deliver our four boys to safety? Will the plane be waiting?

Check out Chapter 16 to find out for yourself!

The New Chapter 15: Cowboy Up!

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 06:13:10 PDT

The Chapter 15 Remix, extended 12" house cut is now available for download.

I am very sorry about the glitch that popped up in the previous version. If you have already listened to the crummy version of 15, jump ahead to about minute 20, where the escape plan is being finalized.

Special thanks to Brian Pipa for technical help and for reviewing Potter's Wheel-the Podcast at his blog myvogonpoetry.com.

Chuck returns to Kevin's comandeered room at Harrah's with armloads of western wear and plan hatched by him and the crazy Hutchins cousins. Could this be their tickets out of trouble?

Feel free to email me with any comments or suggestions!

EeeeeeK!!!!! Glitch!

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Fri, 21 Oct 2005 05:54:50 PDT

I am very sorry about a glitch toward the end of Chapter 15. I will redo it immediately and get a new one up ASAP!

With Halloween getting close, a ghost must have gotten into Garage Band.

Sorry!

Chapter 13: Not in This Story

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Thu, 06 Oct 2005 12:33:20 PDT

You can take my word for it that there is no Chapter 13 in my Potter's Wheel or you can download the mp3 file and I will tell you the same thing.

Aren't these guys having enough bad luck? I would hate to strap them with the burden of a chapter numbered 13.

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Thu, 08 Sep 2005 09:02:18 PDT

Sorry about the low volume on the original Chapter 7 I published.

I have re-recorded it and replaced the old file for anyone who would like to go back and listen or for those who haven't made it to 7 yet.

Enjoy !

Hope to have 10 up by the weekend

Chuck, Kevin, Bill, and Terry take their new riches and the hot streak downtown to old Vegas and the Fremont Street Experience.

After hunkering down with some hardcore locals, things get crazy when Mullethead pops up again and gives chase.

How this one ends is quite smashing!

Chapter 8: Throw Them Wicked Bones

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Fri, 22 Jul 2005 10:19:03 PDT

Well folks, Potter's Wheel the Podcast has finally returned. Thanks for being patient as I finally got things in order and found time to post another chapter.

Here is Chapter 8. Chuck, Bill, Kevin, and Terry make their way to the Rio and before their first night in town is over, they all enjoy a bit of success at the Rio's 21 tables.

Next it is on to the inevitable--the teachers' conference legitimizing their use of school funds for this adventure. Let's just see how long the boys stay focused.

Chapter 9 is already in the works and regular updates will return this week!

Podcast Returns with Chapter 7

losik54@yahoo.com (Andy Losik) — Wed, 08 Jun 2005 07:29:50 PDT

Sorry about the delay, other commitments have kept me from being able to post.

I hope you enjoy chapter 7 as Chuck, Kevin, Bill, and Terry make their first stop at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Kevin meets the very statuesque Chantal and finds out things aren't always what they seem in Sin City!

Chuck and Kevin survive the three hour flight next to Mullethead and learn a great deal more than they care about the politics of the septic industry.

Chapter 4 is here!

Kevin provides the mid-trip entertainment with his idea of Vegas fashion. Chuck gets the creeps when an airport security agent seems a little too interested in their travel plans and all hopes for a restful flight are dashed when they end up in seats next to a loud mouth they nickname Mullethead.
