As promised, here are the new links for all future installments of the ASC Podcast series. Simply subscribe to one of these, and you'll be set up to receive all of our forthcoming material.

We are still working on transferring the archived materials over to the new blogs. Once we have done so, each year will have its own Masterlist post, so you will be able to easily access whatever information you seek.

ASC Blogs are Moving!

Dear, devoted followers:

The ASC Education Blogs are moving to a new home, with our very own domain, hosted by Wordpress. From May 15th, 2013 forward, both the Education Blog and the Podcast Blog will be merging into a single, sleek, shiny new site: http://asc-blogs.com/. This move will give us more storage space for pictures, audio files, and video, as well as giving us an easier-to-use and more sophisticated platform.

Moving to a new site means that we will be setting up a new RSS feed. If you have been subscribed to ASC podcasts on iTunes, you will need to switch your subscription to the new feed. I will post that link here, on Facebook, and on Twitter as soon as we have it set up.

All of the archived podcasts will remain available here for a limited time; over the summer, these links will go dead, and everything will be available for download at the new site. Some material may be temporarily inaccessible during this transition. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes you. Know that we will be working to get all archived podcasts back up-and-running on our new site as soon as possible. We recommend that you download any older podcasts you want to keep before the end of May, as June 1st is the earliest that archived material may become unavailable. If, after that time, there is a particular podcast you are searching for which is no longer available, feel free to email me at cass@americanshakespearecenter.com, and I may be able to send it to you.

Best,

Cass Morris
