This week's winners: those of you who don't like the sound of my voice.  I have too many schedule conflicts to record a podcast this week, but wanted to highlight some links and news of note.

Kickstarter update: Alphabet Rockers TV PilotHeidi Swedberg: My Cup of Tea are both above their funding goal as of this writing, woot!  Another crowdfunding project worth exploring: Graeme Sacks' Nursery Rhymes for Africa (on Indiegogo)

By the way, Bill Childs over at Spare the Rock World Enterprises (note: not real name. Yet.) has an internship opportunity for folks who want to help get the Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child radio show broader distribution and, depending on timing, help do promotion for STR albums.  It's unpaid, but you'll learn a lot and Bill's a great guy.  Austin-based location not necessary.  Contact Bill through the website.

iTunes Store! Finally!

You may not have realized this, but I've been trying to get this podcast into the iTunes Store directory ever since I started in early February.​

Trying without any success at all.​

But it looks like renaming this podcast did the trick.  So, if you go to this link, you'll be automagically directed to the iTunes Store page for the podcast.  Please subscribe and rate and review the podcast -- even if you're not a fan, rating and reviewing helps the podcast's visibility.​

And if you use something besides Apple's Podcasts app (such as, say, iTunes on your computer) you can always enter this link direct into your podcasting app: http://zooglobble.com/kindie-week-in-review?format=rss

​Podcast and enjoy!  New episode coming up this week!
