- Is anybody in the listening audience capable of volunteering to developing a basic iPhone app for the show? We think it may broaden our reach significantly. We’d like some basic features: push notification for new shows, browse and listen to (stream) shows in the archive, and see recent updates on our Facebook page. There’s no pay in this, but if you have what it takes, let us know!
