SingleFlow Episode 1.5

It's been almost a day since the first test episode of SingleFlow debuted. I'd like to thank all of you that have subscribed to the podcast for all your support and feedback. I was able to use some of the critiques in finishing up the final version of Episode 001.

Episode 1.5 covers all the same apps covered in the original Episode 1 with a little more detail about each one along with where to go about finding them on-line. If you've already subscribed they you should be able to hear the show on your podcatcher, but in case you're set on the direct download then you can get it here: Episode 1.5

Thanks again to all of you guys and gals out there for waiting for SingleFlow Episode 1. Let me also welcome any new visitors to the site. After much research, I think I've finally figured out how to get this thing published.

This episode is more of a test episode so it's very short (about 7 minutes) and includes a brief description of the show and a very short review of some security and privacy software you should immediately install on your computer.

Download Episode #001 right here.

Episode #001 - Prerelease Notes

We'd like to thank all of you guys waiting for the release of SingleFlow's first podcast for all your patience and support. For those of you that don't already know SingleFlow is a show dedicated to bringing you all the free and open source software alternatives out there for those of us that can't afford 100's of dollars worth of mediocre applications.

Every application we feature has been reviewed and rated by one of us, and most of the time it's still being used to some degree on our systems. All the software is ad-free (unless we missed something), and offer the same, or similar, functionality to their paid counter parts.

Each application is, in our eyes, a basic must-have for every user setting up their system for the first time or for the seasoned veteran who just hasn't found out about them yet. We scour the web to find all the amazing programs scattered throughout and put it all in one place. Stop watching countless episodes of tech shows waiting for a juicy tidbit, just enjoy your shows for once, and let us compile all that stuff for you. Stop using a search engine to find those priceless gems, only to be directed to a spoofed site that bundles in spyware with anti-spyware applications. This is your one-stop-shop for free utilities, but as we don't sell (or even host) any of these files, we prefer to call it your SingleFlow.

Episode #001 is going to begin by covering the essential FREE protective software available on the net today. This includes, but is not limited to, free firewalls, anti-spyware, data eliminators, and data encrypters. As the show progresses, and hopefully it will, we'll go on to cover some of the more fun and interesting things the freeware and open source community has to offer.

We encourage you to check back to our site frequently for new updates as we move closer to finalizing the site and the show.
