Unfortunate and sad news from the north coast.  We have lost a friend, a family member, a valued member of our podcast, a University of Michigan graduate, and a fellow long time football season ticket holder for 27 years—and all around UM sports nut.

Greg Galdes died on Sunday, July 26, 2009.  He leaves behind wife Cathy, daughters Yvonne (14) and Bethany (11), mother Virginia and father Charles.  He is also survived by siblings Gary, Cheryl (Carlton Engstrom), Cynthia (Stefan Majlinger), Caroline (Chris Theodorovich) and Catherine (Chris Melody).

And now we are two.


It was two years ago we recorded our first podcast. Thank you for the well-wishes and special thanks for sticking with us all ths time.

Schmoe had a Brandi Carlile concert this week. Mike is vacationing in Florida next week. Thus, no podcast for a while.

Until then though, why not enter our latest contest and vie to win a free WAOTNC t-shirt?

We want to know many copies of "Margaritaville" you own. Send your total to podcast@northcoastcast.com and we will draw the winner from those submissions.

Good luck, and thanks for listening.

Holy crap! It's an emergency! Those asshole announcers who do the Buffettnews.com Audio Broadcast [iTunes link] have knocked us off the iTunes page for Jimmy Buffett podcasts! We need your help. We hate begging for responses -- we usually only beg for donations to Scott's Paypal accout -- but iTunes bases podcast popularity by downloads as well as comments, so please go to iTunes and leave a comment about our podcast [iTunes link]. Only in this way can justice prevail.

These videos were included in our feed, but we might as well post them here too. Instead of filling up the front page, let's place them here in the blog. These are our travelogue videos of our road trip to the Cheeseburger Festival in Caseville, Summer 2006.
