Book Review: The Best Of Times–Rolex Wristwatches–An Unauthorized History with co-author Jeff Hess Update...

I interviewed Jeff Hess, leading Rolex expert and co-author of The Best Of Times–Rolex Wristwatches–An Unauthorized History last week and I wanted to thank all the kind people who sent me such nice emails about how they are enjoying the podcasts.

Podcasting is new to me and it has been extremely challenging to learn everything about sound engineering and .rss feeds with xml. Getting Jake's Rolex Watch Blog Podcast setup in the iTunes Music Store is one of the most complicated things I have ever had to do. It is so un-apple-like but I think the hard part is over. 

I have also significantly upgraded my sound recording equipment and it should translate into super sounding podcast interviews. I have some really great new podcast interviews coming up and I am certain you will enjoy them.

Once again, thank you for your kind compliments.

Warmest regards,
Jake Ehrlich
