General Sarah on 18 Jan 2007
We’re “new and notable” on iTunes!
We’re all a little dumbfounded over here at TOA headquarters. We found out today that we have been featured as a “New and Notable” podcast in the TV & Film category in the iTunes Podcast Directory! Melody is screaming, Kimberly is squeeing, and I’m sitting here mute in shock! I think it’s safe to say that this kind of attention is beyond what any of our crazy imaginations could come up with. Thanks, iTunes! And welcome to all new listeners!
Edited on 1/19/2007 to add:We’re also #100 on the Top 100 TV & Film Podcasts on iTunes! Neat!
