Hello Friends!

I am just returning to the wonderful Land of Enchantment from the Windy City where I was visiting my family. It was great to see everyone, but it is always great to be home too.

As you may have noticed, we have been traveling a LOT this summer. One of the places we visited was Montreal, Canada. While there, I learned that our dear friend’s mother, Mina Kupferberg, has a house that looks like a dollhouse museum. She shared her collection with my daughters and they were delighted. I was amazed to hear that she has created every single one by hand. Thankfully, she allowed me to record her story with no advanced notice.

I hope you enjoy the episode. Oh, and the cute kids in the intro are my nieces, Sofi and Lia, and the lovely lady with them is my sister, Rebecca. I put them on the spot while they were visiting us from Chicago. They also gave me some pretty funny bloopers this week! Enjoy!

Lots of love,

Rosa Linda

Hello friends!

For those of you that are watching the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, you should appreciate this week’s episode of New Mexicast. It is about a 14 year old hockey player with big dreams. Sure there are plenty of amazing hockey players his age who have big dreams, but this is Jade Castello’s story. He works hard and with his mother’s help, he is overcoming lots of obstacles as he pursues his goal of making it to the NHL.

I hope you enjoy meeting this young man and his mom. I certainly did.

To my loyal viewers, as always your support is greatly appreciated. In addition to watching the episodes, there are a few other ways you can help support this video podcast. You can (click on any of the list items for more info):

Thanks again for all your support as I work to keep New Mexicast going strong.

Lots of love,

Hello Friends!

And welcome to all you Manic Mommies’ fans that are just discovering the New Mexicast!

If you’re like me, you have long felt like Erin and Kristin were kindred spirits because you’ve listened to every single episode of their awesome podcast. As you struggle through endless parenting challenges, they have probably felt like two of your girlfriends who just tell it like it is. Well, if this sounds like you, then I think you’re going to love this episode of New Mexicast. Because, as much as Erin and Kristin share with their listeners on the show each week, I think seeing them on video along with their families, makes them feel even more familiar.

For those New Mexicast viewers that have no idea what I’m talking about (especially of the male variety), this week I have the priveledge of introducing you to two ladies who host a wonderful audio podcast about the challenges of parenting, called the “Manic Mommies.” I highly recommend you check out (and subscribe to) their podcast in iTunes. Or you can visit their website: www.ManicMommies.com

Also, if you haven’t yet heard it, please check out the Manic Mommies’ episode: MM 125 – When Manic Mommies Meet. It is an episode of the Manic Mommies’ podcast where they turn the tables and interview me. Look for the link on the sidebar of www.NewMexicast.com called ”Rosa Linda on Manic Mommies.”

I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I enjoyed doing it! And I hope those of you who are just here to see Erin and Kristin will stay and check out the rest of New Mexicast (I recommend starting with NM0000 – New Mexicast Promo because it explains what this is all about).

For those that have been around from the beginning you may have noticed that I have a new ad in this episode. It is for a project called IndieLab. It’s a really great project that offers free blogs and websites for media creators (photographers, musicians, podcasters, etc.). Check out their website at: www.IndieLab.org 

As the Manic Mommies would say,  “if you like our show, please help spread the word and tell three friends, or leave a review for us on iTunes… and have a great manic week” (can you tell I love that podcast?)!

Lots of love,

Rosa Linda

P.S. Be sure to watch until the very end of this episode, there are some GREAT bloopers at the end!

Hello Friends,

For the past two weeks my family has been traveling all over the East Coast: Manchester, Montreal, Massachusetts, DC, Baltimore and Raleigh. With two little girls in tow, it has been an exhausting, whirlwind of a trip. Thankfully, because of the internet, I am still able to post these stories from wherever I may be. Last week’s episode (NM0004 – Harp) was posted from Montreal, Canada… how cool is that?!?

Speaking of cool. Wait until you see this week’s story; Instructor Rosalie James allowed me to sit in on the recital for her very fun, and very unusual class for canines and their human dance partners. With a name like, “Ballroom Dancing for Dogs” how could you not be intrigued? You can find out more information on her website at: www.DancingPaws.info

Well, another two weeks, another story posted. (Crowd goes wild!) Here on the small screen it looks so simple, doesn’t it? Truth be told it seems like a small miracle each week when I hit the “publish” button and it actually works.

Thanks for checking out this episode, I hope you’ll stick around for many more to come!

By the way, I was recently featured on my FAVORITE podcast, “Manic Mommies!” If you would like to hear the interview just visit their website at www.ManicMommies.com (or click here to go directly to that episode, which is #125 – When Manic Mommies Meet).

Sincerely,
Rosa Linda

P.S. And when I say “many more to come” I am not exaggerating. On this trip I managed to shoot several more stories. Now it’s off to edit them all!

Hello Friends,

First of all, to those of you that just discovered the New Mexicast because of the “Manic Mommies,” welcome!

For those of you that have no idea what I’m talking about, I have to share some exciting news: I was interviewed by the hosts of my favorite podcast, the Manic Mommies and am featured in this week’s episode. You can listen to the interview (and the entire episode) by clicking where it says “Rosa Linda on Manic Mommies” on the right hand side of www.Newmexicast.com

By the way, the reason they interviewed me is because I interviewed them while my family was vacationing in the Massachusetts area, so be sure to check back here to see my story about the Manic Mommies. (It won’t be the next episode, but probably the one after that.) For now, go learn more about Erin and Kristin and their AWESOME podcast “For Moms trying to do it all… and then some!” at their website: www.ManicMommies.com

Now, on to this week’s episode:

One of the best things about doing independent reporting is that I get to tell stories about people and places that I find interesting; people like the subject of this week’s episode. Harp Corrigan is a self-taught, Aeolian harp maker.

What, you ask, is an Aeolian harp? Well, the short answer is: it’s an ancient wind harp. But that explanation doesn’t do them justice. For a much more thorough explanation please visit Harp’s website at: www.HarpMaker.net

I hope you find Harp as fascinating as I did. I also hope you’ll either subscribe to this video podcast or check back here in two weeks for another edition of the New Mexicast.

Sincerely,
Rosa Linda

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.

For more information about the Mother of All Sales, please visit their website at: www.MotherofAllSalesabq.com

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.”)

From reporter to mommy and back again…

Hello friends!

After more challenges than I expected, (and more fun than anyone deserves) my new video podcast is READY FOR LAUNCH!!! So, let me officially welcome you to the New Mexicast! (Crowd goes wild!)

Now on to the first episode…

Have you ever dreamed of being a cowboy, or imagined what it would have been like to live during the pioneer days? If so, you’re certainly not alone. Did you know there is an entire organization for people who enjoy reliving the Wild West? In this inaugural edition of the New Mexicast, I introduce you to some of these colorful characters at an event called “End of Trail.”

And, by the way, “End of Trail” is coming up in just a few weeks (June 13 – 22, 2008), so if you enjoy the story, you may want to check out the event for yourself. For more information visit their website at: www.SASSnet.com

As for the New Mexicast podcast itself, this is just the beginning. There will be a new story posted every other week, so please subscribe to the New Mexicast. It’s absolutely free, and will allow you to get updated whenever I post a new episode.

Here are three easy ways to subscribe:

1. By email: This is the easiest way. Just enter your email address in the white box to your right and click “subscribe.” Your email address will be safeguarded and you will get an email whenever I post an episode.

2. Through iTunes: This is the most fun way (in my opinion at least). Just go to this link:

http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=280402262

…and click “subscribe.” (In case that link doesn’t work, you can also find New Mexicast by searching in the iTunes store) Then, every time I post a new episode, it will be automatically sent to iTunes on your computer (which is the best part… the episodes will be waiting for you when you are ready to enjoy them).

3. In a reader: Just click where it says “Click here to subscribe to New Mexicast in a Reader” to your right, and subscribe through your favorite reader. (I would say this is for those of you that already know what a reader is.)

And finally, let me thank a few people who have helped me make this awesome video podcast:

The New Mexicast logo is created by: Craig Stickler at Foundation Imaging. Visit him at: www.csp-media.com or www.FoundationImaging.net

New Mexicast’s theme song is “New Mexico” by Dorian Spencer. Visit him at: www.DorianSpencer.com

Thanks to both Craig and Dorian. And, finally, thanks to you for watching! If you enjoyed the episode, please leave a comment here on the website or on iTunes.

See you in two weeks!

Sincerely,
Rosa Linda

NM0000 - New Mexicast Promo

Hello and welcome to the New Mexicast!

I am so excited to share this promotional video for my soon-to-launch video podcast called “New Mexicast.” Please watch it, add a comment, and send the link to everyone you know.

For those who don’t know me, please visit my personal vlog at www.RosaLindaRoman.com. As I used to do on that website, once I launch New Mexicast I will be posting a new story on this website each week. The stories will be about interesting people and places in New Mexico and beyond.

The more viewers the better, so please spread the word by forwarding this link to people you know. You can even embed the promo video on your own website by clicking on the “share” button below the player, copying the (very lengthy) code and pasting it onto your own website (like in a post). And, for those of you that have your own podcasts, please feel free to play this promo as much as you like (please email me if you want the audio-only version).

Oh, and as you watch the video, please notice the AWESOME theme song called “New Mexico” by Dorian Spencer. You will only hear a little preview in the promo, but it should still give you a good idea of what it sounds like. Dorian has graciously allowed me to use the song as New Mexicast’s theme song. I couldn’t have come up with a more perfect, positive, upbeat song if I had commissioned it myself. Please support him and his generosity by visiting his website at: www.DorianSpencer.com.

I hope you enjoy this video. Please check back in the coming weeks for the official launch of the New Mexicast.

Sincerely,
Rosa Linda

P.S. Please write a comment to let me know what you think!
