Find out more about Splenda Flavor Blends at destinationflavor.com and then call GBTV’s Splenda Flavor Confessions Line (206-600-4458) to leave a message about how Splenda transforms your coffee drinking experience. If you can’t find it in stores, you can order Splenda Flavor Blends from Amazon.com. They come in a case of 6 boxes with 30 flavor packs per box. I use 2 flavor packs and 3 regular Spenda packets in a very large cup of coffee.

    I have to say… I too only use half a splenda with my coffee (~12oz) :) That’s in addition to the hazelnut creamer. I’m still waiting for amazon to send me my flavorblends (granted.. I hadn’t realized my local grocery started carrying it… doh)

    anyone else having troubles downloading this episode?
    its not showing up in itunes and the links only bring up the quicktime logo and nothing to view the video…

    Yeah, it doesn’t look like it’s feeding to iTunes right now. I just watched it directly from the site though, using the quicktime link. Meh…

    Now, onto the episode: I am SERIOUSLY digging that drink cooler. Gonna have to check that out. The apartment I live in now doesn’t have an ice maker (first time I’ve had to do without one in…ever), and I hate those stupid little trays. Sounds like a perfect alternative.

    I too initially had problems downloading the episode. I managed to pull it directly off the site after several attempts. But it’s still not showing up in iTunes. As always, kudos on the show.

    Poor Cali! It’s a nasty bug, ain’t it? I caught it while in Boston last weekend, and the SoB’s still hangin’ on…. :(

    I re-uploaded #89 and named it with Repost. Please let me know if you guys don’t get it in iTunes.

    Still no love in iTunes…same with the following episode. Both feeds (large format and iPod) give an error saying no feed exists at that address…

    Cali, got both - today (11/8) finally!

    WTF w/iTunes lately, anyway? It’s been a couple days late on all my subscribed ‘casts the last week or so,

    Hey Cali,

    About the Lightsnake XLR to USB cable. Two things. One does it support phantom power for Condenser Mics, and two is there any of the delay that USB mics are famous for.

    Thanks,

    Bruce
    P.S. hope you’re feeling better soon.

    Oh, i got both the original 89 and the reposted one. But I only got the reposted 91…hmm…
