2009 has been a weird year for the podcast, and in fact, the entire podcasting landscape has changed - and I'm not sure for the better. When the Jersey Toddshow first came to being, it was in an environment where we were all rebels. It was the truest form of pirate radio ever created, and in so many ways we "moved the needle." I miss those days - a lot.

Today, if you look at the itunes landscape, the most predominate podcasts are professionally done, and most of them are really, really good. I still listen to many. However, the DIY spirt of podcasting is nearly gone. No longer can a guy in his basement get a show onto Sirius, like I was honored to achieve. In its short life, The Jersey Toddshow accomplished some amazing things, and put me in places personally and professionally that I wouldn't have dreamed. I also made some great friends.

I still believe in the power of podcasting, and I still strongly believe in the spirit of independent musicians.

I'd like to get the show back on track, and hope to do so sooner than later. I've been struggling with a writers' block like you wouldn't believe, but I'm starting to feel my way through.

Keep your eyes on this space. We've still got a lot of work to do. To quote the great American philosopher, Ms. Paula Abdul, "I'm just here for the music...."

(Did I just quote Paula Abdul? Jeez, this writers' block sucks).
