As you may or may not already know, it’s my sole purpose in life to have Will buy as much CastRoller swag as possible for you guys, and myself to be honest. Which is why I’m happy to share with you the first run on some cool little CastRoller buttons just in time for Podcasters Across Borders this weekend.
This limited edition batch of 200 has 8 different designs featuring various icons we use around the site If you see Will or Bill at PAB make sure to grab some quick because they are going to go fast!
Hope you enjoy, and I’ll keep working on more cool stuff for you to collect.

The Podcasters Across Borders conference starts tomorrow, June 19. Both Bill and Will from CastRoller will be there and look forward to seeing all of you there.
Before the big day starts, you might want to catch up with the podcasts produced by the attendees of the conference, check out the PAB2009 CastRoller Channel and listen to the newest episodes from every podcaster who is registered.
Many attendees have long trips to get to PAB, so we created a channel containing episodes perfect for listening to in the car, Drive to PAB. You can just add the feed to iTunes and have all of the episodes downloaded easily to your iPod.
See you there!
