Yep, I'm podcasting again.

In this episode, I take one of the discussions from This Week In Gay a bit farther than we were able to on the episode.

Due to some personal issues on his parts, Joey from the Cocktails and Creampuffs podcast was unable to join me for the update tonight.

Due to some personal (and an ongoing technical) issue on my part, I was unable to do a performance episode recap, so I am doing a results show.

So, if you haven't found out the results, now would be a good time to stop playing!

If all goes well, Joey and I should be back next week to bring you our take on the dancers, and make our predictions on who will go home.

I'm done lurking in the shadows.

Tom and I are back for the final time in season 10 to discuss the final two contestants' performances.

We originally did this show live on his Tuesday night show, but due to a technical problem, we only recorded the last half during the live show.

Not to worry, we got together on Skype and re-recorded the first half, and we present it to you now.

Thanks again to Ramble Redhead for co-hosting, and Lobo for the last-minute help with his Edcast account!

Thanks again for the amazing level of support you gave the American Idol Update; without your support, there is no point in doing the show.

After a small technical problem (as in, no internet service. Boo, Charter Cable!), Tom and I discuss the Top 3.

By the time you hear this, you will probably know whether or not we were right, but it's still worth listening to. Really. I mean it!

I said I wasn't gonna talk about the Royal Wedding…couldn't help myself.
