Hi anyone,
Just wanted to let you know that all four hours of Michigan Oldies Podcast Thanksgiving fun are up and ready to be parked forever on your iPod. It took a little while to update the main site to let you know this, but we had a password issue this morning and after calling our hosting guy and having him re-set it, all is well.
Coming up, we would like to do some theme based shows (you know, countdown for New Years, love songs for Valentine's Day, groundhog songs for Groundhog's Day, etc.) and would love to entertain your suggestions. Since you listen to us, it's as much your show as ours, and we like to do things that make you squeal with delight!
...Well, ah, lets just leave it at "make you happy to be a listener." We appreciate your loyalty, and please, stay subscribed...or get subscribed at www.michiganoldiespodcast.com!

Back at work kids!
Just a note to let you know we're back! Just posted the Halloween Spooktacular a couple of weeks ago along with a ghost story from Durand, Michigan-based author Brandy Lenae (or is that "Lanae?"). Also, just posted a deer season episode with erstwhile co-host Dave Winston. If you see Dave on the streets of Saginaw, tell him you heard him on the Michigan Oldies Podcast. He may hug you right there in public!
If you happen to be on Facebook and want to put a face to the podcast crimes being committed here, both Art and I have profiles up. Just search for us at www.facebook.com. You'll discover we're well connected with the greatest broadcast rogues ever blessed to bark into a microphone.
Got comments? Even nasty ones? Post them here, and we might even read on on an upcoming show, and mention YOUR name....even your home address and phone number! Wouldn't that be special?

Summer notes
Hey podcast gang,
Just wanted to drop you all a note to let you know we're still alive and well, just a little lighter in the wallet thanks to gas prices.
Hopefully, we'll get another Michigan Oldies Podcast episode up and posted by the end of August. Both Art and I have day jobs and duties to tend to, and the ensuing conflicts in schedules have made it hard to get together to cook up a show. As always is the case, throwing money our way helps. If you run a business that could benefit from our growing audience base, or know someone who does, contact us at thoseguys@michiganoldiespodcast.com , or call me at 989-400-8953.
Still plenty of classic shows to listen to at the site, and we're also part of the new http://www.woaponline.com/ on the weekends..4pm to 6pm Saturday, and 10 to Noon on Sunday. Check it out when you're not busy waxing the cat or something important.
If you're signed up with Facebook, my profile is up there. Everything you ever wanted to know about Tony Clark (translation: what makes this psycho tick), but you have to be a Facebook friend. Log on or set up an account at http://www.facebook.com/ .
Another podcast pioneer I'd like you to check out: In 1987, I was Program Director of WCFX in Clare, Michigan, which at the time was operating out of a really beat up building. My nighttime talent was a twenty-something CMU student by the name of Cara Stern.
Fast forward 20 years...Cara Stern has morphed into stellar Chicago air personality Cara Carriveau, who logged a number of years middays at legendary rocker WLUP, and is now middays at 101.9 The Mix in the Windy City...and she also makes time for a podcast called Cara's Basement, interviewing music and radio folk, and doing a damn good job of it. Check it out at http://www.carasbasement.com/ . It's a fun listen.

FINALLY...A Fresh Show!
I've finally put up a fresh Michigan Oldies Podcast episode as of today (January 20).
Actually, I febreezed it. It's an episode from January 2006 with me and Dave Winston...there might be one or two songs you heard on a previously posted podcast, and the fact that this is a two year old show is probably why, but hey...oldies are supposed to be timeless!
Where's Art Van, you ask? Gambling away the remainder of his life savings in Las Vegas, but don't worry...he'll be back in Michigan just in time to do another show, and to beg for work.
Speaking of work...if you own or manage a business and would like to put the power of audio advertising, and yes, podcasting, to your marketing mix, please give me a call at 989-400-8953, or drop us a line at thoseguys@michiganoldiespodcast.com.
Everyone else: stay subscribed, and if you hear sponsors on the show, let them know you listen and love us!
Or at least like us.
Maybe mildly tolerate us.
Or just plug in the iPod and crank us up just to annoy your kids.
Stay warm,
Tony

NEW to The Michigan Oldies Podcast!
Hey all,
I am pleased to announce that we've added a Feedplayer to http://www.michiganoldiespodcast.com/ . It's easy to find...just scroll down a little ways, and it looks like this:
Now, you can play all of our shows right there without having to surf or link to the Podango site. Our host account still remains at Podango, and you'll still find the same shows there, but this might make it easier to find and play at the office or on your laptop. If you have a website or even a MySpace page and want to share your passion for rare-but-not-too-over-done oldies, you can even install our FeedPlayer on your website.
Well, we'd think it would be neat.
Don't forget...if you listen via an iPod or iTunes and would like to subscribe, you'll find our iTunes link on our front page as well. More updates and improvements when they become available.
Now, let the Christmas madness continue.

Finally...The Christmas Show is up!
Good morning happy campers!
Pleased to report that the Christmas 2007 edition of The Michigan Oldies Podcast is up and online! Just click on the links to where we keep the shows at Podango.
As of 12-17-07, I tried the http://michiganoldiespodcast.podango.com/ link and it seems to have dead-ended for some strange reason. The shows are still on Podango..the aforementioned address just isn't taking you to them.
(Note: I checked again this morning 12-19-07, and http://michiganoldiespodcast.podango.com is back to normal...must've been a Podango thing)
If you have iTunes, we now have a one-click link that'll get you subscribed to The Michigan Oldies Podcast...on the left side of our web page. One click will do ya.
In the Christmas podcast, I also included an interview with Bruce Winslow at the Dow Museum of Science And Art in Midland (Michigan) about The 1960s...A Cultural Evolution. If you're into original photos of Elvis, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Stones, and lots more, including paintings from Stuart Sutcliffe, who was with the Beatles prior to Ringo and Pete Best (a sixth Beatle?)
If you're in Michigan for the holidays and are looking for a nice little day trip, I highly recommend stopping at the Dow Museum and taking a look. It's inside The Midland Center For The Arts, and you can find out admission and museum hours by clicking here.
Hope you all have a very good Christmas. Stay safe.

The 100 Top Songs from Detroit
I hope it was a happy Thanksgiving for each and everyone of you. Now the REAL fun begins as Black Friday is upon us. Be good little do-bees at the stores today, and play nice.
Ran across this neat article in the Metro Times about the 100 Top Songs from Detroit, and that includes the rest of Michigan, as the ever perservering Question Mark (of Clio) and the late Del Shannon (of Coopersville) made the list. Includes plenty of hits from the 1960s-70s Top 40 era, plus a couple dating back to the '20s and some newer stuff into the 1990s. Read about it here.
