To those not so tech savvy let me explain.  Once I make a podcast and save the mp3 file to my computer I upload it to Mevio.  Each podcast is then automatically assigned an address.  So when you press play or download it or receive it through iTunes it comes directly from Mevio.

Unless Mevio change their mind it means I will have to re upload all my podcasts to another hosting service and then physically change each of their attributes on my site.  A huge amount of work.  Spare a thought though for my friend Dodd Vickers over at The Magic Newswire.  He has over 200 podcasts.

Mevio, presently you suck.

I'll keep you updated.
