Even though we only released four new episodes this week, it was still quite busy! First and foremost, we published a new episode of Blogging With, this time talking to Eric Rice, the founder and Chief Evangelist of Audioblog.com. In addition to chatting with me about blogging and podcasting, Eric spilled the beans on an upcoming Audioblog.com promotion!

Also published this week was an episode of Blogosphere News where we looked at Microsoft's new MSN Spaces, the 2004 word of the year, and some Christmas blog promotion.

The two biggest shows of the week we easily Blogoversial: Crisis in Ukraine and Special Report: Blogger Auctions. The new Blogoversial episode is the first in which we get an expert opinion on the topic, as we talked to Dr. David Marples from the University of Alberta. The Special Report focused on the auctions started by Jeremy Wright and Darren Barefoot, and was the first BlogosphereRadio show to include interviews with 5 people, including our first returing guests, Jeremy and Darren!

Also launched this week was the new "Episode Notes" - a timeline of important segments with related links available both on the details page for each episode in HTML and as an OPML 1.0 file. The Episode Notes should make it easier to pinpoint where specific items are mentioned in our shows. They will be available on all new shows, as well as the new Blogoversial, Special Report, and Blogging With shows mentioned above.

Stayed tuned in the next week for more blogosphere news, a couple of interviews, and a new episode of Blogoversial that you'll really love!
