Problems recording, but Digital Sista continues. Thank you for your patience.

Digital Sista continues and is working through the transition of not being able to record as I had been doing for 2 years. Someone or something has interfered with my ability to record my podcast. So, I'm figuring out ways to get around it. Seems to me that there are haters out there who get jealous when someone has a good following. But, I won't let that stop me. Hey, maybe this is the way. Has anyone else had this problem?

KEEP TUNING IN!!!

I have had problems recording, starting way back in May. And, for some reason or another, the problem has not been fixed. So, I've taken matters into my own hands. You can continue to listen to Digital Sista on www.ubfogc.org (podcast) and we have the Digital Sista blog up and running.

Our connection and communication continues. Thank you for your patience and for listening.
