Talk about seminal music podcasts… The award winning PodShow podcast, Accident Hash turned 3 today and the show’s amazingly talented and sweet producer, C.C. Chapman, dedicated it the Troops. What a guy! Several podcasters — including Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff, Mike Yusi, Christopher Penn and me — recorded special holiday messages for the Troops, which are featured in this show. In addition to tracks by podsafe artists Matthew Ebel, RaykoKRB, Black Lab, Chance and many others, this episode includes Lovespirals’ “Motherless Child.” C.C. was the very first podcaster to hear Long Way From Home and we’ve got a mutual love thing going on with that man. Congrats on 3 years, CC!
Oh my… I collaborated on a song with evil genius, Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff, for his zany new “audio book” project with fellow Pacific Coast Hellway producer, Mike Yusi. Folks have said that Pussy: The Musical is PodShow’s answer to Highschool: The Musical; does that make me Gabriella?

"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."
