GrassCast on Holiday

With the holidays quickly approaching John and I have decided to forgo further podcasts until after the first of year. The interviews are a great deal of work and with both of us traveling for Christmas with our families it seemed like a good time for a break.

We would like to hear from our readers/listeners though. Tell us know what you think of the GrassCast. Let us hear from you if you enjoy it and what you like about it. If you are a regular, or semi-regular, reader and don’t listen to the GrassCast please let us hear from you as well. We’re curious as to why you don’t listen and what we could do differently to encourage you to do so.

I just found ‘GrassCast’, and am enjoying listening to it! Have a great holiday vacation, and I will make sure I turn you ‘on’ to the guys in our band! They will be interested to know of your Bluegrass podcast. Good luck with all!
