I believe we had this conversation before and, for a while, someone volunteered and posted a table of contents for each episode (thank you). He invited the rest of us to contribute, but that's as far as it went. Perhaps it's time for another push at something like this? Maybe we could have a "chores" list for volunteers to put their name on each episode and that way it might be a bit more formal. But then again, what if someone volunteers, but "life" comes up and they can't do it in time? Do they owe a cookie to the Posse cookie fund? Or a beer to the beer fund?

The ABC News Video Podcast does this and is very handy. If you are not interested in the topic, hit the right side of the circle and you go to the next story. The Posse is doing this for free. Let's remember that. They are not looking for more work. If someone would volunteer to make a short version of the show, or put in the bookmarks, and make this process easy on the Posse, they might go for it. Otherwise, we should be happy that they are doing anything at all. I'm hoping the interviews come back. I really want to hear about some topics in depth. A weekly newscast is great. If it is sprinkled with interviews, the Roundup audio, and conference audio or other travels, all the better.

If you are limited to the number of releases perhaps you could bookmark the start of quick news. I would still listen to it all in its glory!
