SPECIAL THANKS
Ken Plume — SModcast’s own Jam Master Jay, the mix-master general, whose audio presence, sadly, doesn’t translate to print. But aurally? Without him? We sound empty.
Elliot Greenburg — He taught Scott and I how to use the equipment — very important and necessary step in podcasting or any electronic venture.
Ming — Who always makes sure Scott and I are floating somewhere through cyberspace.
