Or maybe 25.

All six podcasts for STEPS AND SERVICE are up.  This is a workshop from 2002 in Richmond, VA with Tom I. (of Southern Pines, NC) and the late Don P. of (Denver, CO) on the process of working Steps, the role of Sponsorship, and how Service is a key part of long term sobriety.

The sixth part of this series marks the 25th Anonymous Review Podcast. And there are 18 Virtual Speaker Meetings.

43 only has significance in Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe, but I think it worth a mention.

First, the first two parts of the six part workshop “Steps and Service” is ready to post - re-edited.  This Tom I. and the late Don P. at their best sharing over 70 years of combined sobriety and offering lots of Experience, Strength and Hope.  And it isn’t just for Newcomers - no matter how much time you have, there will be something to catch your attention.

Second, rather than wait to the last minute, the RSS feeds will change for both Anonymous Reviewand the Virtual Speaker Meeting. That means you need the new RSS addresses to put into your iTunes, Juice or other podcast aggregator.

This is the new RSS for Virtual Speaker meeting.

The link to Virtual Speaker Meeting’s RSS is:  feed://virtual.anonymousreview.org/feed.xml  This marks the first time VSM has been available through RSS subscription.

The Anonymous Review will go up to the existing RSS for another week or so, then the new RSS will be announced..

I just sent the newsletter to that subscription list.  If you would like to get an email newsletter with the latest on ANONYMOUS REVIEW and VIRTUAL SPEAKER MEETING posts, write me.

The next Virtual Speaker Meeting is up - Burns B.

The next three Anonymous Review podcasts are up:

• #13 - The late Father Martin gives his Chalk Talk.
• #14 - Bill Wilson on the Three Legacies, Part 1 (of 2)
• #15 - Bill Wilson on the Three Legacies, Part 2 (of 2)

The next six podcasts are in production and will be a single presentation in six parts - “Sponsoring into Service - A week-end workshop with Tom I. and Don P.“  This is an extensive exploration of both Sponsorship and Service with valuable insights into their importance and connection to each other.”  This series will constitute almost seven hours of information divided into 6 parts.

This moves me closer to the goal of 52 shows in a year, but it looks like it may be a smaller number. Progress, not perfection.

Another project is nearing completion - the first of a projected series of disk on specific themes. The Newcomer’s Disk is a self-paced information/education presentation with printable documents, definitions, online information and over 40 selected speakers for newcomers.  The speaker MP3 files can be transferred to your computer or MP3 player, or burned as regular sound CDs to allow you listen on the go, or to give to friends. These will be individually burned for each order and will work on Windows, OSX or UNIX systems with a simple web-based interfacde — if you can click on a link on any web page, you will be able to navigate the disk.

Next month we will post the HTML portion of the presentation as a website without the sound files or downlaods - you can take a test drive through the structure and information.

For what it is worth, the PayPal donation button is working again, should anyone want to help pay the costs of the podcasts.
