Hi John,
Thanks for your feedback on the show. It is always appreciated!
I agree that finding podcast “bumper” music that is both free and royalty-free can be a challenge. One site that I have used for all types of sound effects and bumpers is http://www.soundsnap.com. Check out the “music loops” for over 14,000 musical shorts in a variety of genres.
Hope that is helpful!
Sallie
You guys sure have a clean lookin’ page!
I was wondering if you know of a source of “pre-canned” music that we can use in introductions to our podcasts or other media applications without having to worry about copywrite issues as well? I saw a couple of creative commons sites on the internet – one had sound samples, another had music – but I wasn’t satisfied with the kinds of music that would work well in church applications. For our podcast introductions, I’m thinking of “stealing” a bit from a pirated Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary CD, but even that might be a little bit in the wrong.
Thanks again!…your show has been very helpful.

For implementing GTD you might try out this new web-based application:
http://www.gtdagenda.com
You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version and iCal are available too.
Hope you like it.
