Technical difficulties (mostly) resolved

The latest episode of the podcast is now really and truly available. Server hiccup. (Or something: Tboy actually has no clue at all.)

The second episode remains mysteriously unavailable, but Tboy assures you it's no great loss.  He'll try to fix it when he has more than 5 minutes.

Kate Debelack, however, still reigns over the first, which is somehow still there for your enjoyment.

(Tboy loves Macs, but he confesses he's beginning to be a little cranky with iWeb.)

Theaterboy Presents:The Show That Goes Like This

Listen, my children, and you shall hear ... the sound of The Show That Goes Like This!

That's right, at loooooong last Tboy has done something about a third episode, which you'll find on the Web over here; if you'd rather listen in iTunes and download it to your iPod, you can click the "Subscribe" icon on this page or just click right here.

In this episode: An interview with D.C.-based actor-director Mitchell Hébert and the cast of his Woolly/UM production of The Distance From Here -- which runs through March 3, so listen now! (Pictured, right: James Gardiner, recent Helen Hayes Award nominee as part of the Dog Sees God ensemble, starring as Darrell.)

Plus, as always, an Eleven O'Clock Number you've gotta hear to believe.  So go on, get your Show on.

So, your thoughts on the podcasts? If you've listened to 'em, I'm interested in what you think.  What works and what doesn't?

Was it easy to subscribe?  Are most of you using iTunes? Were you able to subscribe with no trouble? Was the download too big?  If so, would you compromise a little on sound quality for a smaller download?

What else strikes you about the podcasts? (Aside from their distinct work-in-progress air, I mean.) Your comments and constructive suggestions are welcome at boy (at) theaterboy (dot) net, if you don't want to post them here.

Presenting the second episode of The Show That Goes Like This, an occasional podcast from Theaterboy.net.

Tboy has improved his delivery channel, as his friends in supply-chain managment like to say, so you'll need to update your bookmarks. All future episodes of the podcast will be located here.  So click this link; then, at the destination page, click "Subscribe" to, well, subscribe in iTunes, or "Listen" to listen within your Web browser.

(You can also open iTunes yer own self, then go the iTunes Music Store and search on "Theaterboy" to locate the podcast and subscribe from there. With either Subscribe option, you'll be guaranteed to get every bleedin' moment of The Show That Goes Like This as soon as it's available.)

In this edition: Stephen Wadsworth directs classical theater and opera -- from Wagner to Wilde and Handel to Marivaux -- for companies all over the world. Now he’s brought his celebrated translation of Moliere’s Don Juan to the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington.  (Production assistance graciously provided by WETA's Around Town.)

Plus:  A guest appearance by Dr. Hottie, and on the Eleven O’Clock Number, some extracts from Evita that even Andrew Lloyd Webber might regret.

Here is it, a little later than I'd planned, but I've never been great with deadlines.  It's the first episode of The Show That Goes Like This, an occasional podcast from Theaterboy.net.  Download it now! (Patience, grasshopper: A half-hour podcast makes for a biggish file.) iTunes subscription info coming soon...

On this inaugural outing: Fat Pig's Kate Debelack, a rundown of the week's openings, and a bit called The Eleven O'Clock Number that you won't want to miss.

Have a listen this afternoon if you've got a little time; there's also an item in there about this event, coming up tonight at Ford's Theater in conjunction with its production of Trying:

FREE PANEL DISCUSSION
"Trying: Civil Liberties, FDR & Francis Biddle"

Mon, Jan. 23, 7:00 p.m.
Bruce Fein; DC Court of Appeals Judge John Ferren; Peter Irons; Jonathan Turley - moderator Terence Smith, The NewsHour
RSVP: 202-347-6262 or [email protected]

Bear in mind that The Show That Goes Like This isn't meant to be entirely serious, and that it's very much a work in progress, so your comments are appreciated -- possibly even the bitchy ones.
