Some updates and revisions

Hey everybody! Here to let you all know how the next episode is coming along. Quite nicely actually! I really think the 'What is Wicca' segment that I'll be doing will cover a couple of episodes, there's just so much out there that it's hard to condense! But never fear, it shall be quite a good time for all of us. Also, I'm going to start the rune segment in episode 3, so if you have a particular rune you'd like me to cover, let me know! It's going to be pretty informal, so don't be afraid to comment! I'm hoping to get the next episode out Monday of next week, so stay tuned!

Another bit of business, I spruced up the podbean site for T&T, it now has all the links and stuff that are here. I did this cause I've been feeling like blogging more here and the episodes are probably going to get lost in the crazy, so the podbean site, http://toilandtrouble.podbean.com/ will be used strictly for the episode postings and any vital information about the show. Don't worry, you'll still get them here, but I will be posting other non-T&T related things as well.

On that note, the fun Holiday updates will be no more. It just got a little much to check everyday and research the festivals then write up a post about them. I wanted to go more indepth, but I was struggling to just get basic info, so I'll update you all about the holidays and festivals via Twitter.

One more business-related item..there is now a donate option on the podbean site for T&T. It's through paypal, so you know it's secure. I'm not asking that people donate, but if you want to, I will forever be grateful! As a college student, I'm trying to keep the podcast on a small budget.

As for the blog, well, expect to see thoughts and feelings of my journey into paganism expressed here. I've noticed that even after two shows that I have more to say on the topics I've covered. So perhaps instead of revisiting ideas, I'll just let you know through a blog post or something. Look for questions on upcoming topics, news stories that interest me, as well as just a look into my brain a bit more often!

A big thanks to everyone who have emailed me or left me comments in various places on the show. It's so nice to know that you're enjoying listening to me as much as I enjoy talking to you all! Get ready for a long listener appreciation monologue in the next episode. And you still have some time to get on the list, so send me your love!

Blessings,
Petra

Some updates

Alright folks, got some exciting updates in regards to T&T. First off, we are listed on itunes! That's right, you can now subscribe to the show via everyone's favorite music player. Ok, maybe not everyone's but it's mine, so yeah. Just do a search for 'Toil and Trouble' and we'll be on the list! Or you can search for me directly, Petra Taneth, and you should just get the podcast.

If you do subscribe through itunes, please be sure to rate and review the show. It'll help with getting the word out there and bump us up on the podcast list! Also, don't forget to head over to Podcast Alley and place a vote for us. There's two so far, and one of them is from me, so don't leave me hanging guys!

Next, I will have some promo's to play for you on the next episode. Both Tahlea Moonwater from The GeekWitch and Oseaana from Get Witchified have sent me their promo's to play and I want to thank them immensely! Also, I can't believe I forgot to talk about the show's name on the first episode. I had this really fun story about it and I totally forgot to do it. So look for that at the start of the second episode. It should be good times.

Lastly, I want to link to some articles that caught my eye. I found these on witchvox, so you may already know about it, but Starhawk has asked for an apology from the Pope. I thought they were interesting reads and would love to get your opinions about it.

The first one is called Wicca Smackdown: Starhawk calls out the Pope! and if that isn't a catchy title, I don't know what is. It's written by a Catholic blogger, I believe, so it's a bit harsh on Starhawk but he makes some interesting points.

The second one is what Starhawk wrote herself, Time To Apologize to Witches, and you can make what you want out of it. I just wanted to throw these at you and see what thoughts you have on it. Could be a fun segment in the next episode or two.

That's all I have right now, many blessings!
Petra
