In an effort to make the shows better and better, I will be moving my shows over to a new server over the next week.
The Migration has already begun with Shows 13 and 14 and show 15 will be posted directly to the new server.
As was expected the Council server I had been piggy backing on finally pulled the plug. Which is ok, I can understand.
A big thank you to Phillip at Scoutdata.com that came to the rescue and is now hosting the Scoutmaster Minute Podcast on his server.
I will move all the shows over so itunes is not effected. You will be able to find them all here also.
I will be removing the old links to assist in a seamless transition as the shows are uploaded.
Thanks for your patients and have a Great Scouting Day!
