The Glowing Dial Page is back on the net!

Hello listeners!

Good news! I have finally been able to get in touch with my web guy and all is fixed now and The Glowing Dial Page is back up in it's entirety! I have gotten behind in editing and posting of shows due to some health and personal issues, not to mention current computer issues. But I am continuing forward and attempting to get The Glowing Dial Show POD56 edited and premiered, hopefully later today. Trying to get this done on a temperamental computer too! POD56 will only run until June 24 but don't worry, it will always be available in the Archives if you miss it this time around. Look for a post later today announcing the premiere of POD56.

See you on the radio!
