Hello Friends!

Just 3 episodes into this new video podcast and I am floored by the response already. I just glanced at the email subscriptions and there are 65! That doesn’t even include iTunes and other subscription options, which I know many of you are using. We even sold some t-shirts! Thank you so much for your support.

This episode proved to be much more challenging than I thought it would be, which is why it is a little late. I actually posted it then discovered that the video was not playing properly. So I had to “unpublish” it and I have been trying to figure out the problem ever since. I’m crossing my fingers that this works for you. If it doesn’t, please email me or leave a comment so I can work on fixing it. (By the way, if you want to watch the story in a larger screen, click on the “iPod” link below the player!)

On the surface, this week’s episode seems like a story about a big garage sale, but once you see it I hope you find it is so much more than that. It is about the “Mother of All Sales” consignment event, and the women who created it. As I wrote and edited the story, I realized it was about possibilities; about challenging yourself to create something bigger than you expected and better than you imagined.

I suppose it is not unlike the journey I am taking as I create this video podcast. Hopefully you, too, will feel inspired when you watch what two women can accomplish when they work for a common goal.

Finally, a special thank you to Judy Van, who posted an amazing review on iTunes! I only hope New Mexicast will continue to live up to (or even exceed) your expectations.

See you in two weeks!

Sincerely,

Rosa Linda

Hello everyone!

I have to admit I didn’t know how tough it would be to juggle full-time mommying with reporting, editing and podcasting, but it’s a challenge I’m certainly enjoying. And, based on the number of people who subscribed to New Mexicast after just one episode (”End of Trail“), it seems you’re enjoying the end results too!

This week’s story is about a program at the Sandia Mountain Natural History Center in the mountains outside of Albuquerque called “Insects, Arthropods and Arachnids.” When I saw a notice for the class in the local paper, I pictured lots of kids chasing bugs and thought it would make a great story. After you view it, let me know if you agree by adding a comment (just click the “comments” button above the video).

By the way, if you want more information about the Sandia Mountain Natural History Center’s programs, check out their website at: www.nmnaturalhistory.org/smnhc

I also wanted to mention that there are two versions of this video uploaded here on the site, so if you are playing it on your iPod, click the “iPod” button below the player. Otherwise it will play the larger, QuickTime version.

Thanks again for watching, subscribing and for all of the comments you’ve posted so far.

See you again in two weeks (even though I say “next week” in the video).

Happy viewing

Sincerely,

Rosa Linda

P.S. For those of you who are having trouble seeing the stories, please make sure you have the latest version of QuickTime. Some people have had to completely uninstall QuickTime from their computers and then reinstall it from scratch. The latest version can be found at: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/ (Then click on “Download QuickTime.”)
