I was feeling a bit shy about this week’s mid-week special Chillcast featuring songs from my personal archive of vocal collaborations, but that was nothing as compared to how I feel about this podcast! For better or worse, I share my “first time” story on Let’s Get Naughty Episode 39. Yup. I also talk about a bunch of other stuff I’d never talk about on my own podcasts or vidcast. Guess I got caught up in the excitement of Eric and Tam’s excellent “humorous look at sex” show!
I’ve been popping up on various podcasts lately, which is always fun. Today Adam Curry played my new Help PodShow Suck Less theme song on Daily Source Code #615, yesterday my audio feedback intrigued Eric on Let’s Get Naughty #35, and Tuesday my boy Clarence opened Do You Know Clarence #11 with a special drop I recorded for him. Earlier this week, I introduced “Motherless Child” by my band, Lovespirals, on Sunday Sundown #24 and Ryan and I both introduced the same song for C.C. Chapman’s Accident Hash #231. Come to think of it, I was also on Daily Source Code #613 with a reply to Adam’s crack that I “sent a naked picture.” Sigh…
I’m back by popular demand! This week I share my favorite munchies, a fan surprise, my new hairdo (and it’s attendant boo boos…), more Lovespirals updates, and plenty of self-doubts brought on by chatting with the sage Chris Penn and feeling generally overwhelmed by the need to market myself better. Let me know what you think about the new Chillcast plan, OK? And holla back if you’re down for my street team!
The Chillcast presents the best new podsafe music, hosted by "the sexiest voice in podcasting," Anji Bee of Lovespirals. Chill out to a smooth mix of electronica, jazz, soul, and world music each week - plus special interview features, video editions, extended DJ mixes, and CD contests.

"Anji Bee has the sexiest voice in podcasting!"
-- Adam Curry of Daily Source Code
"Anji's sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet voice... I remember the first time I ever heard her, way back in the day, I said she could read me a Chinese menu or the phone book and I would be all happy!"
-- C.C. Chapman of Accident Hash
"Anji's voice wouldn't be out of place in a smoky jazz or blues bar somewhere down in a dimly lit cellar. Sultry with a voice like syrupy silky satin with a marshmallow middle and a honey topping."
-- Most Recognizable Voices in Podcasting, Sept. 2007
"Cosiness abounds as the silken voiced Anji Bee - lead singer of chillout band Lovespirals - pours a cocktail of mellow dance music. Mmm..."
-- Radio Times, July 2007
"If you're looking for a different brand of 'grown and sexy' in the podcast world, check out Anji Bee. This young lady is bringing it - from production, to her voice, to the music selection - she is doing her thazizzle!"
-- Fave of Friday Favecast
"No other voice in the podosphere is more sultry than Anji Bee."
-- Macedonia, Radio BSOTS
"Anji Bee, a musician and former radio DJ, gives "stage" to artists who might not otherwise be discovered. Bee's podcast exposes me to independent artists I've never heard of, and subscribing to it eliminates the need to forage for new music."
- La Shawn Barber's Corner
"Enjoying The Chillcast. It's seriously awesome. I listen to them like over and over again."
-- Julien Smith of In Over Your Head
"I just love the tunes Anji Bee selects and her comments on them. I no longer have to search for music to be creative; I just susbcribe to The Chillcast."
-- Karen of Rumor Girls
"Like having a cocktail of lovely tunes and honey poured directly into your ear. Well-chosen music, voice links that make you feel cosy inside, it all adds up to an essential weekly download."
-- Good Podcast Guide, Nov 2006
"If you're in the mood for chillout music, this should be your first stop. Her voice alone is the perfect complement for a long drive or any escape from the hectic rush of everday life. You're gonna love it."
-- DJ Come of Age, Nov 2007
