Starting today, Sunday, November 4, 2007, you can now get the Cache-A-Manaics shows delivered by mail. We're providing this service following a couple couple of requests from Geocachers unable to download or play the podcasts. These shows will be delivered on Audio CD or Video DVD for about the cost of expenses ($4.75/mailing). More information about the service can be found through the "Getting the Cache-A-Maniacs by Mail on Audio CD or Video DVD" posting.

We've had to change our voicemail phone number. The new number is 206-350-3647.

We get a few e-mails from fans, many of whom have met us in person, but this one from a junior cacher really caught our attention;

I am MadPup. I wanted to tell you that I love listening to your Cache-A-Maniacs podcast. Mom and dad had a CD from the MWGB that we listened to in the car. I love it. Hope to see you [Firefly03] and DarrylW4 at an event soon.

We'd run into MadPup at several events before the Midwest Geobash, but it wasn't until the Geobash that we became the "famous cachers." We ran into her and her parents again at the NERPA event. Such an excited young girl and she's now signing on and logging her own caches independently of her parents.

And to MadPup and her parents; We'll see you tomorrow at the August's Monthly S.E. MiGO Meet & Eat.

That's right. We've released the first episode of the new Cachers of the Round Table podcast this morning. Episode 1 features and conversation about Geosense between Sonny and Sandy of the Podcacher Podcast with Firefly and I recorded live at the 2007 Midwest Geobash. Future shows will be released the first Thursday of the month recorded via the telephone and VoIP services with other Geocaching Podcasters. We're looking for topic ideas and listener questions for the show as well. Drop us your topics, questions, or comments by calling 206-333-1206 or e-mail cachersrounttable@gmail.com. Subscribe now or download the show direct from the Cachers of the Round Table website.

Please take a moment to head over to the Podcast Awards site and support the Geocaching Podcasts by casting your daily vote for the Podcacher Podcast along with your other favorite nominees.

The Cache-A-Maniacs are celebrating Geocaching Podcasts and the coming of spring here in the Midwest U.S.! We talk with the hosts of each of Geocaching Podcast each week starting April 7, 2007. Sonny and Sandy, the hosts of the Podcacher Podcast kick off the interviews followed by Jon Decker of the Jersey Geocaching Podcast, Icynrye of the Icenrye's Geocaching Videozine, Katadin Goddess & Kacky of the Maine Podcast, Spindoc Bob of Geotalk, and Paul Konopacki of the SLAGA Podcast. Subcribe to have the episodes dropped directly into your podcatcher or click on the media link () in the show notes. For more information about other podcasts, check out our Geocaching Podcasts post for links to all Geocaching Podcasts currently in production.
To wrap up our celebration we're looking for stories from our listeners. Submit your most entertaining Geocaching story for your chance to win a Green 1GB iPod or one of four Fisher Space Pens. E-mail us an audio file no more than two minutes in length, or leave a voicemail (60 second time limit) at 206-222-2153. See the Official Rules for more information.

Thanks to everyone who has requested logbooks. All of the second set have been shipped now. Look for them to show up at events including Geowoodstock and the Midwest Geobash.

We've had many requests for the second round of Log Books. We're still adding names to the list, but we're not certain we'll have enough log books for folks adding their names to the list now.  We're waiting on word back from one of the major event as to quantities and that will determine the number available for the new entries. Thanks everyone and we'll let you know when the log books arrive and start shipping.

Wow! We are now completely out of log books.  It will be a couple months before we order new ones, but if you'd like to get on the list drop us an e-mail.

We had a total of six of these cool Swag Bags to give away on the show, but we just drew the first two names (listen for the names to on Episode 4). Each of these bags are unique, but all have at least two geocoins, swag for caches, and items for your cache bag (pictured are two of the bags included in the give-away). There's still plenty of time to get your entries in for the contest if you haven't already. Remember that all names will be mentioned on episodes 4 through 6, so listen to the show to find out if you've won.

The Cache-A-Maniacs Launch Event has begun! As mentioned on Epsiode 2, we're going to be giving away two of the Cache-A-Maniacs Launch Event Swag Bags to our subscribers that weren't able to attend the launch event. We'll have at least two of these swag bags to give away (at about $35 value), but possibly more (we'll have 58 bags available for the launch event attendees and if any of those aren't claimed we'll add them to the give-away). Listen to episode 2 for information about how to enter your name in the drawing.
This offer void where prohibited or restricted by law.

With only a few hours till the first episode drops, DarrylW4 leaked information about the release schedule of the first six episodes to the Cache-A-Maniacs Google Group. If you're curious you can check out the post yourself in the discussions. Meanwhile the first episode is posted and set to automatically drop at midnight.
