Hey, thanks for using two of my songs on your first podcast! To be honest, I think you're the first to use them.

I do think I need to point out one small error, however. My songs aren't available on Magnatune. Rather than sell them I've registered everything under a Creative Commons license and I'm giving them away for free on my web site.

(Oh, and if you're looking for a way to create an iTunes compatible RSS feed, try feedburner.com. They'll do it automatically for you, although you'll still need to register through iTunes once the feed is set up.)

Your first podcast sounded great, keep up the good work!
