This Week's Shownotes:
Director Podcast Episode Eleven, April 7th, 2006
OSCAR
Greetings,
Who I am,
Website location
Why the show is late... server issues and optimizing... over one TB of bandwidth served last month.
Big show, big interview split into two shows. The Gary Rosenzweig interview! Split it into two 1/2 hour segments because we have lots to cover and we don't want to make this a two hour show! That is what you wanted, so that is what we are giving you!
As you heard, we have a new sponsor for the show so please support our faithful sponsors!
In addition, we need to announce our contest winner, announce our NEW contest and talk about some more stuff including listener feedback... don't worry, I won't read them all in this episode... will spread them out among several episodes or do a special podcast just for listener feedback.
LAST MONTH'S CONTEST WINNER IS: Daniel Nelson from Blue Jade Creative. Congratulations!

LISTENER FEEDBACK
Hi Skip, Marcel here (UK). I'm playing catch-up with shows at the moment - been busy. Just wanted to respond regarding the enhanced shows..... I'm not using the enhanced features because I'm listening on my ROKR phone while I'm away from the computer. When I'm at the computer, I'm working - I'm a man... I'm not good for multitasking!!
