Well, as you can see, I've had to change the name of my Podcast show. It seems that an extra letter and an extra word doesn't stop someone from threatening you with trademark infringement. I didn't know anyone had the rights to trademark regular words but I guess I'm wrong. I was gonna call our lawyer in the morning, but my 90 year old Grandmother, who is still the boss, feels its not worth the money to fight. I'm very disappointed. I now have to go back and re-record 20+ shows, contact itunes to remove my show and hope no one attacks my new name. All I'm trying to do is keep my Grandmothers store in business. She's been doing this for over 36 years and now has to contend with AC Moore being a few blocks away and as of Feb. 2nd Micheal's opened up around the corner from AC Moore. How the heck can a little store survive when it feels like there is so much against them?
Well I better get to work.

Well I'm listening to your old shows. Let me know when you do a new one. Is there no way to just change the name of the old ones instead of redoing them? I'm hoping to be up in NY at the end of March. Is the store anywhere near the subway?
Good for you for sticking with it. I've enjoyed your old podcasts. I'm still working my way through them. I like the detail you give for directions. And good for your grandmother for staying with it as well. I wish her luck. I'm new to the podcast business. Thanks for sharing information.
