Everyone’s been asking us what’s going on with the show and we don’t blame them for wondering. We’ve done more than 20 episodes since February and have only skipped a few weeks so far so this is out of the ordinary. We haven’t had a new show up for the last two weeks and pdx.fm has been running repeats during our normal Tuesday, 3 p.m. slot.
The truth of it is, Joe’s been pretty sick and he’s the only one who knows how to update the website. So he hasn’t been able to tell anyone that the show is taking a break. Now that’s he’s sitting up at his computer for more than two minutes without feeling too dizzy, he’s updating the show’s website.
Why is the show taking a break?
Becky and Joe are getting married on Sept. 25 and have found that after dealing daily with the planning of the wedding, they haven’t had time for such an effort-intensive activity as producing a weekly radio show.
Is the show coming back?
Yes, the show will return in October. Until then, pdx.fm will be running repeats of the best episodes so far.
Where can I find out information about the wedding?
The wedding itself is going to be very small. The ceremony and reception is going to be attended by immediate family members only. It makes Becky uncomfortable to be the center of attention and so she asked Joe to keep it simple and small so that’s what he’s going to do if he knows what’s good for him. More information about the wedding can be found at joelovesbecky.com. We don’t expect gifts but we put our registries on that site because people kept asking in spite of what we said.
Do you guys have anything fun planned for your return besides stories about your wedding?
Yes, Joe will be interviewing a guest who traveled to India over the summer and will share his observations of that culture that is very different from the United States. We’ll be debuting our iPhone/iPad app with lots of extra features and behind the scenes stuff. There’s a few more things we have planned but we have to keep some things a surprise.
In the meantime … we wish you peace in your lives. See in you October!

Was wondering where you guys had gone to. Looking forward to your stories of marital bliss in October.
Good luck.
Was wondering what was up, but have been so buried myself that I hadn’t had a minute to come by & check in! Glad to hear about the upcoming wedding, sorry to hear about Joe’s illness.
Thanks, Betsy. We can’t wait to get the show going again. We have so much raw material but have to keep it to ourselves because we don’t have any extra time. -Joe
I also wondered what happened to you guys! Podcasting is a lot of work, that is fo sho! Have a happy wedding and looking forward to hearing all about it when you are back on the air!
