Hmmm,
This podcast is on Training and Information:
http://www.aph.org/tech/info.htm
and the subscription address is:
http://www.aph.org/tech/info.xml
not Blind Cool tech:
http://www.aph.org/tech/bct.htm
or:
http://www.blindcooltech.com/
and the subscription address is:
http://www.aph.org/tech/bct.xml
or:
http://www.blindcooltech.com/bct.xml
and, Rob meretith, not Larry Skutchan did that.
Is there a typo?
thanks,

Chase Crispin
