Show and Feed Problems

You may know that this program originates from PodShow.com. Today, PodShow is migrating to a new version of their Website (and adopting a new name, Mevio).

With any move like this, things inevitably break for awhile. One of the things I noticed this morning is that the Podcast Feed for this show (the address on the Internet that updates when new episodes are added and tells Websites and Podcatchers where to find the audio files) isn't working just now.

This may mean that if you listen through iTunes, other software or other Websites, the program may not be there. Mevio has been made aware of the issue and they're working to correct it, but as with any undertaking of this magnitude, it may be awhile before they get all of the issues resolved.

In the meantime, you can still get the latest episodes here on the site. Use the player at the top of the page, download shows from the links under "RECENT EPISODES" to the lower right, or download from links in any of the episode posts.

If you have subscribed to the show using the address http://deanandjerry.podshow.com/feed please update to the following address.

http://mevio.com/feeds/deanandjerry.xml

You can also click on that address for a listing of all 32 episodes to date.

My apologies for any inconvenience. I'll wait until the problem is resolved before releasing any new episodes of the show. I will post more information here as things develop.

Have no fear. More Martin and Lewis Comedy will be coming your way soon.

UPDATE (Friday Morning): It appears that the problem has been resolved. I may wait a bit longer to upload a new episode. In the meantime, feel free to listen to our archived shows. Keep an eye on this site for the latest.

Rat Pack Ultimate Collectors Edition

If you happened to catch the latest episode of my Sinatra Podcast, The Frank Truth, you heard about several of the commemorations planned for May to observe the 10th anniversary of Frank Sinatra's passing.

One such item, now available for pre-order, is The Rat Pack Ultimate Collector's Edition on DVD - with all four of the Rat Pack movies in a very cool boxed set.

These films (Sergeant's 3, Robin and the 7 Hoods, 4 For Texas and the original Ocean's Eleven) along with Marriage On The Rocks and Some Came Running, represent the bulk of Dean Martin's cinematic collaboration with Frank Sinatra.

The Warner Home Video press release notes that the collection will feature exclusive behind-the-scenes photo cards, rare correspondence from the Warner Brothers Archives, cool Rat Pack playing cards available only in the collection and a 24-page reproduction of the original 1960s Ocean’s Eleven press book. It also includes a free movie poster offer for all four films.

You can find the DVD set and other items from Dino's days with Sinatra and the boys at our Amazon Shop's Rat Pack page. Click here to take a look.
