You can add Virtual Speaker Meeting to your subscriptions, and you can add other podcasts as well.

Several of the podcasts have been moved to our Archive.org site, which can provide a player for you to include VSM on your social networking site (Facebook, MySpace, etc.).  Virtual Speaker Meeting Archive 4.  For older shows check Archive 1, Archive 2 and Archive 3.The full archive of  Adventures in Sponsorship are available, and new strips are being posted. I may have to make some changes - a Google search for “Adventures in Sponsorship” turned up a bunch of other entries.

Take a moment a drop me a line … eMail Address.  Just wondering if any of the 119 subscribers actually read this.

I’ll post the new URL with the next podcast.

My statistics say I have 119 subscribers and no one ever writes. Why is that?

So - if you don’t have the RSS feed, you can go get them … http://vsm.podbean.com.The main webtite now has a link to my “Adventures in Sponsorship” comic strip.  Very theraputic for me - maybe you’ll like it.

#29 is Earl H from San diego and has been up for a week or so.#30 is an interesting personal recording from 1987. Bob S. from Santa Monica took a small recorded and did his own take on getting through the 12 steps. Worth a listen.

It is for a sign for sponsorship and if you like it, feel free to snag it (option-click on Mac, left click on Windows) and use it. Let me know where you are using it so I can go see.

The speaker is not a member of AA, but a member of the Al-Anon Family Groups with a great message of recovery and the effect of alcoholism on the family, in and out of Recovery.

For example, instead of having a single speaker on the history of the big book, draw from several speakers addressing the same point. The very first Anonymous Review had Bill, Henrietta Seiberling and Dr. Bob discussing the first meeting on Mother’s Day, 1935.<br><br>I think some very good programs could be produced on a bunch of topics, but this new process will require a LOT more time.<br><br>So, VSM will have the focus, but Anoymous Review is not gone.And some feedback might encourage me to produce more - there has been a total of 1 comment, 2 emails and $0 on the donation button.<br><br>A tumbleweed blows across the deserted street.

Also, there is a Twitter feed to keep up to date; anonymousreview at Twitter, but drop me a line to tell me you want to sign up (I’m getting a lot of spam requests to follow and … huh uh).

In the meantime, check the new RSS for #23 - Russ K. from Montgomery Alabama. We’ve done a bunch of these podcasts and will make a list downloadable for future reference here.
