33: Grains of rice

The 33rd podcast covers the best of the MetaFilter universe for the month of October and since we recorded this on Halloween morning, there are Halloween-themed mentions wherever possible. It runs about 50 minutes long and features music from the October Music Challenge (mostly Halloween-themed)

Still doesn't play here. The "Music" posts work just fine -- or the three I tried, at least, including Cortex' latest oeuvre.

If the flash player isn't working for you, try the direct MP3 download and play it back in the player of your choice

The direct link doesn't seem to be working either. It was giving me something like "500 internal server error", but now it just won't load.

It won't play for me either, and the direct link gives me the 500 internal server error too. :(

The whole thing worked for me, and now after looking at mathowie's pumpkins I want to turn this into a "look at my pumpkins" thread.

Look at my pumpkins!

Neither the flashplayer, the direct link, nor the download in the iTunes feed (which I assume points to the same place as the direct link...) are working.

Dag guys, my pumpkin (rather, my picture of someone else's pumpkin) made it all the way to the Huffington Post! I must have been huffing something right!

True fact: the website was this close to being formally titled "Huffin' with Arianna".

Wow, two of my posts made the podcast! Awesome! (I totally did not get around to carving even a single pumpkin. ::sigh::)
