The BeanCast's New Flash Audio Player Solution

Just a quick note to those who in the past have relied on the flash player on the front page to listen to The BeanCast. After weeks and weeks of flakiness and the complete disappearance of SpringWidgets.com (the host site), I discovered that the company has been out of business for a year and had become a zombie site. While this is not as bad as it sounds (no impending zombie attack, folks...or hacking attack for that matter) I thought it in my best interest to remove the player and search for a better solution.

I really wanted to have another RSS-fed jukebox solution, but apparently there is no one hosting something like this at the moment. So instead I've turned to the next best thing. I'm now going to be embedding a Google flash audio player at the top of the show notes for each week's episode. I've already done so for Episodes 89 and 88 to give you a sense for how things will work in the future.

Please forgive the interruption in availability of a player on the site over the last few weeks. Hopefully this will fill the gap.

Thanks again for listening and please let me know if you have any issues with the new setup.
