Archaeology Odyssey To Become Part of Biblical Archaeology Review -- Suspends Separate Publication

...since the launching of Archaeology Odyssey, the magazine industry has changed. It will no longer support separate magazines for such closely related subjects. The Biblical Archaeology Society is a charitable organization forever trying to make ends meet. People are now getting more and more information on the internet, rather than from pieces of paper like magazines and newspapers. Advertisers know this, so advertising in print media is way down. And postage is way up—with a very substantial increase promised for next year. Every other expense you can think of has also increased, sometimes dramatically.... All Archaeology Odyssey subscribers will now receive an expanded BAR that will include articles that would have gone into Archaeology Odyssey. If you are already a subscriber to BAR, your subscription will be automatically extended for the period of your Archaeology Odyssey subscription.

I understand the reasons, but AO is my favorite magazine (ever), and I'm going to miss it terribly.

This is another prototype for the new footer. Soon Archaeology Odyssey will vanish, but I've just added links to relevant podcast pages.

Podcasting is big with iPod users, but can be enjoyed by most people with online access. I've selected a couple of pages of most interest to me, but I'm guessing that history ping list managers will like one (even if they can't be used for pings); the space list managers will like the other one; and my fellow Mac mavens are probably interested in podcasts anyway.

My apologies to anyone already aware of that podcast directory, or otherwise inconvenienced by this kinda silly message. :') Merry Christmas to all, and to all, well, you know.
