Catching Up with the Plumbers

We’ve had a backlog of shows in the hopper waiting to be produced. Three episodes in one smash hit release, all available in MP3 format. On Episode 16, John and I try videocasting via ooVoo. Watch the talking heads and let us know if you like the new format or whether we should stick to audio only. (Assuming we keep the videocast format, we’ll produce both MP3 audio only as well as Silverlight video.)
