I really hate to have to say this

Due to reasons beyond my control the release date for season three of Banter Over a Cigarette will be delayed by as much as a month before new episodes will be posted.

For this season I tried to find a new, more reliable, file hosting service. I searched, and looked and googled like there was no tomorrow. And to no avail I was unable to find a suitable host. All of the places I found were either phony sites trying to trick you into submitting your files so that they may dig through them to see if you submitted anything of value.

Or it was basically a file “dead drop” of sorts as an alternative to Rapidshare or megaupload to aid in piracy. Not that I have anything bad to say about piracy. I do it all the time.

Needless to say I was unable to find a new place to host the files for the show and so I had to stick with fileden for my hosting needs.

And fileden stepped up to the plate . . .

And they fucking failed miserably.

Anything that I’ve recorded for the show and uploaded to fileden refuses to play online, therefor it is not going into the RSS feed for the show and not registering in the iTunes podcast directory.

My solution is this:

As I’ve stated earlier my father is building me a server for my birthday. Once it is shipped and I have everything configured to my liking I’ll be able to host all the files for BOaC on my own without any aid from a third party, thus guaranteeing to you, the listeners, that the episodes will always be on-time and in proper working condition for whatever manner you choose to listen to them in.

With that said I’m going to go enjoy the rest of my birthday.

And as always, I’m Eldon K.R. saying that I don’t have cancer, so I’m not stopping.
