Not the Footy Show is moving to a new online home
Listeners to Not the Footy show could always login to Facebook and listen to shows that they missed or listen to a favourite interview. Recent changed to Facebook have meant that MP3 files can no longer be uploaded. Not sure why – perhaps the file sizes and bandwidth required to support these files just became too much for FB?
So, we’re currently trialling imeem which is the #1 social site for sharing sound (and more). We’ll let you know how it goes…
