Cleft Club Radio - Nov. 23, 2005 - Short show to say hello and more shows will be coming

Download/Listen here!

Hello everyone. This episode is really short, it's just a shout out to say that yes I'm still here :). Had some life complications but I think things have settled down enough where I can get back into the swing of things.

On this episode, I hint towards an interview I did and hope to put on a future episode. I also do a short interview with Kristi, and I mention me possibly doing a personal podcast where I would be talking about my other intertersts and where I'll be doing future interviews with my daughter.

Next one will be a full, regular show :)

Krsna Blog Archive

We've now completed a fresh re-install of the Krsna Blog, and have archived older Blog content elsewhere in the site. The following three threads had to be manually re-built into the new Blog database, so all the posting and comment dates are the same. All three posts are still open to new comments. The new Krsna Blog Archive is now housed in the Vada section of the site [link]. The Krsna Blog should now be restored to perfect running order, and we look forward to your continued participation here.
