The MannersCast is one year old today!

I noticed that today is the day that the very first episode of The MannersCast was posted one year ago.

A big thank you to everyone who has posted to the blog, hosted on the show, emailed us and left comments on iTunes.

A special thanks should go to Steven Lewis at The Rules Podcast. Without his encouragement The MannersCast might have "faded" only 6 months in.

As it happens, we stuck around and now have a strong group of listeners from around the world.

Happy Birthday to The MannersCast!

New MannersCast Flash Player!

THE IMAGE TO THE RIGHT IS NOT THE NEW PLAYER. IT IS ONLY A STILL IMAGE OF THE PLAYER. CLICKING THE IMAGE WILL TAKE YOU TO MANNERSCAST.COM WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE REAL THING.

After testing out several options for being able to just listen to the latest episode of The MannersCast online, I have landed on what seems to be a really nice Flash Player.

Many times I get notes from people who are not on their home computer or just can't play one of our audio files, and I think this will get us closer to solving the problem.

Sincerely,
Trent

Top of the Mornin', iTunes!!!

We have had a great response lately from our wonderful listeners and the comments for The MannersCast in iTunes have risen sharply! We're now up to 16!!!

We want to thank everyone for their time taken to leave comments and tell friends. Keep up the awesome work, and if you haven't left a comment in iTunes yet... well, you know! :-)

Sincerely,

Episode 38: An EPIC Journey

We received a really nice email from listener Bruce that sparked a little more talk about cell phones in movie theaters. Plus, Derek drops a real-life story about a friend of his who went to meet his Facebook sweetheart and was smothered by her sister.

We certainly would like feedback on this one. Are we right in our advice? Has anything like this ever happened to you?

Taking over the Library, Episode 1

That is not your typical MannersCast Logo! That, my friends, is the totally awesome CD cover art for The MannersCast Library CD Edition of The MannersCast on CD for the Library.

I spent a horrible few "hours" at Macimillian's Copy and Printing today (I really hope you can guess who that really is), and after having several years stripped from my life, I headed up the City of Allen Public Library to drop off the newly mastered CDs and the CD Cover Insert (designed by James Kocsis).

The Library Director seemed pleasantly and only slightly annoyed with me taking up so much of her time. She informed me that it would be about one month from today that The MannersCast will be listed in the Library.

With fingers crossed I will wait until the joyous day when I post the update that The MannersCast is "in". Thanks everyone for any support you have offered.

We are now another small step closer to taking over the world!

Episode 35: RESEARCH

I was excited to get this comment from David, but thought it might get lost in the comments section. So I'm elevating it to the POST level. It's great info from great research. Thanks again, David!

I'm a lifelong Texan and found this one to be interesting. I found the online pdf document "Texas DMV Driver Handbook". Page 54 (9-2) it states clearly: 1. You must yield the right-of-way to vehicles already on the freeway. 2. Enter the speed change lane, stay to the right, signal left, and when the way is cleaar increase your speed so you can merge with the flow of traffic. Hope this helps!
