 From the WFMU blog: " Best Show Gems is The Best Of The Best Show On WFMU: a twice-monthly podcast featuring highlights from the full radio show. Classic Scharpling and Wurster calls, amazing phone-ins, random weirdness and more! It's a perfect way for a beginner to get on board, or for a longtime fan to look back and remember when." It's more bi-weekly than twice-monthly, but you get the idea. New episodes every other Monday, starting NOW! Feeds and such here: http://wfmu.org/playlists/BDSupport this new podcast! Tell your friends! Blog about it! Tweet your hearts out! This is a great way to get new people onboard the Best Show train. Let's make it happen! Oh, and the logo was designed by the great Spoony! |

Wait. Didn't I get heaved ho for proposing this idea? According to Recidivism from August 2008:
"Weirder Jon in Maplewood has an idea for the World Domination Scheme, but he's steeling himself for a GOMP. In addition to the full weekly podcast, he suggests releasing a highlight package for the short-attention-span crowd. Tom asks WJ if he'd also like a third podcast or any other freebies. WJ thinks Tom could insert ridiculous sound effects between the selected calls in the abridged version. Tom wonders if he should also show up somewhere each week to do a little dance. He gives WJ the Heave Ho!"
I am glad to hear that it is happening, but what changed? What brought about this change of heart?

This is definitely a great way to introduce people to the show. Love it! I'd like to see the mp3s in the feed have that nice artwork embedded. I noticed the first one doesn't… Also, perhaps the name on the mp3s could be more like "A Call From the Owner of Club Pizzazz" instead of "WFMU's Best Show Gems with Tom Scharpling from 2/23/2009" I look forward to more! Wait. Didn't I get heaved ho for proposing this idea? I suspect a case of wrong place at the wrong time. |

I can't find it on iTunes. Is this just a "Canadian" thing? Do not forsake your neighbors from the North. If I have to RightClickSaveAsAddToLibrary in order to get this onto my iPhone I may go mad with the clicking.

I was thinking the same thing when I heard Tom announce this: "I remember when Jon from Maplewood got gomped for suggesting this." I do recall Tom saying at some point between then and now that he was "warming" to the idea. Maybe you should call up this week and demand the credit you're due? I don't see how that could go wrong. |

In itunes, under "advanced" go to "subscribe to podcast." Paste: http://wfmu.org/podcast/BD.xmlinto the space for the URL. Bingo! Even works in Canada. |

Yes. That seems like a plan guaranteed to set a course straight for Power Caller status. |

I'm sure it was submitted to the iTunes store and it's only a matter of time before it's available there and topping the charts… EDIT: Tom pointed out on twitter that it's actually already on iTunes here even though it's still not showing up in searches: |

Yes, now my short attention span friends can finally hop on and hopefully get into the whole thing.
