The Last Machelp from Maui Podcast
“Da kine go stay go!”
Carmen and Scott regret to announce that as of this show, the MacHelp from Maui podcast will no longer be heard.
That’s right, we’ve finally given in to the ennui of the islands - this is just too much like work!
Not really - but Apple doesn’t need us anymore - they’re doing just great. Hawaiian music wins Grammy Awards and fans all over the world every day. Even Microsoft, our old foe has become an embarrass to itself. So after a delightful two-year assault on the patience of over a thousand otherwise sensible listeners we’re going to give it a rest.
As a Go-Away-Already bonus and to increase the maudlin self-indulgence of this occasion, we are giving away five (5) of Pekelo’s new CD “Hana By The Sea.” 
You’ve heard many of the songs on the show, so this is your last chance to score the whole thing. Just send email to scott@machelpmaui.com or carmen@machelpmaui.com and we’ll choose the winner in some devious manner. Because any promotional benefits are essentially nil, we only ask that you contribute the cost of shipping - probably via our Paypal acct. We’ll contact the winners by email.
Carmen and I both picked the same song as our all-time favorite: Diesel singing “I want to die young…” This last podcast will be in stereo and 128-bit ACC so you can enjoy this wonderful song from a great talent.
“Live Well, Do Good Work and Use Really Great Tools!”
Aloha a hui hou,

[…] Unless given a reprieve by Congress, many independent webcasters will be run out of business soon. Many podcasters, who largely do it for love and not money, seem to be running out of gas. I’ve been struggling to even get out the farewell podcast I promised months ago, and have been debating whether or not to simply not do it. I was a bit surprised to learn that my buddy Scott is also ending his MacHelpMaui podcast, noting “this is just too much like work.” I agree. He featured a lot of Hawaiian music in it and won fans for Hawaiian music artists with an audience that predominantly did not know the music at all. [link] […]

Great final ‘cast, Scott and Carmen. I can totally relate to the mixed emotions about ending the podcast, it was a tough call for me as well. I’ll miss listening to you both. KD

What a terrible shame. You will be greatly missed by those of us who love not only learning about how to use our macs better but also to discover the culture of Maui and the islands. The friendship and laughter is gone after only just discovering you.
Best of Days. Ian
