Amusing observation: It was 2 weeks ago I pulled the plug on VHUS for-good-and-forever... and people are ONLY JUST NOW starting to notice! Geezus...
One quick note re: our MIXCLOUD page.
I have ceased maintenance on our MIXCLOUD page due to extremely low traffic. Yes, the page is still up, and still contains a few of our most recent episodes in dazzling 192k fidelity... but there will be no further postings made to MIXCLOUD between now and December's planned demolition. I will not apologize for any inconvenience.
Till next time,

Sorry kids, I'm still retired from podcasting.
And I'm likely to remain retired for the foreseeable future.
But let's continue keeping the dream on life-support, shall we? Here are two more factory-refurbished episodes for your dining and dancing pleasure:
From December 2014:
VHUS Classic Encore v.23, featuring ACCEPT, THE MIGHTY HANDFUL, THE SHERBS, KNIGHT AREA, THE DEVIN TOWNSHEND PROJECT, LIV KRISTINE and many more!
DOWNLOAD VHUS v.23 to complete your very heavy collection!
And from just last March...
VERY HEAVY UNCLE SHOW v.71, featuring THIS WINTER MACHINE, TUSMORKE, BEARDFISH, THE WOUNDED KINGS, COMEDY OF ERRORS and a cast of hundreds!
DOWNLOAD VHUS v.71 for the HIGHEST podcast satisfaction available without a prescription!
Why the odd sequence? Some listeners need to pick up older episodes, while others need the newer shit they missed the first time around. This way more people get what they want, and we can all meet in the middle just about the time I need to pull all these digital gems down (December-ish).
If you care... our OLDEST episodes (v.8 through 14, so far) are resting comfortably over on our MIXCLOUD page (streaming only). Need to download one of those? Let me know and I'll try to set it up for you.
A few of my podcasting contemporaries have accused me of flogging a dead horse instead of just fading into the sunset. Fair comment. Yet, flogging dead horses is what I do. And I'm fairly good at it - you should see my honeymoon videos.

If you're under 40: The title is a Paul Harvey joke.
If you live outside the USA: The title is a Paul Harvey joke.
Paul Harvey was one of America's touchstone radio commentators for over 4 decades. He had a very unique on-air style, but was never as much fun to impersonate as Casey Kasem. Basically, Paul Harvey was a legend, especially if you were an adult/senior citizen.
If you worked in radio in the 50's, 70's or even the 90's: Recording the daily Paul Harvey network feed was THE most important job during your airshift. Everything else was a distant second.
Now that I have you loosened up... you should take a listen to this:

Not much to add at this time, except I plan to fill both the Pod-O-Matic and MIXCLOUD pages with as many old episodes as I can before our "medium-size-server" plan on POM runs out in late November.
To soften the blow, I gave you a double-shot of Classic Encores.
Expect 2 or more a week until December.

For the record: I did briefly consider sharing a few of the factors that led to this decision (it was a LONG time in committee), but in the end I figured nobody would really give a shit about MY problems, and you'd simply move on to the next (vastly inferior) podcast in the queue.
If you're the least bit curious, drop me a line. I'll be happy to vent.
NOTE: Just because we've ceased production doesn't mean I want you quit listening/sharing the links! Overall, I feel we have a damned fine back catalog of episodes - most of which I am VERY proud of. And I'd love for as many people to hear them as possible before I'm forced to tuck them away forever.
It was fun (mostly), and I thank each and every one of you for your time, your ears, your bandwidth AND your interest in VHUS. Bless you all.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
As of this writing, ALL future dates are tentative.
Why? What was first thought to be a minor computer glitch exploded into catastrophic I.T. failure, throwing big fat greasy wrenches into every computerized aspect of the program.
Good News: We are such huge backup whores we didn't actually lose anything.
Bad News: Our software and remaining hardware remain mostly in shambles, and our recovery is being hindered at every opportunity by big fucking truckloads of Murphy's Law. And Microsoft (WORST tech support experience ever!). And don't get me started on FIREFOX... jeezus...
