Very Sad News With Regards To John Altieri

Christyjohnsfopeningnight It is with significant sadness that the Jersey Boys Podcast has to share the news with our listeners that John Altieri, one of the most caring cast members of Jersey Boys 1st National Tour & Las Vegas, has passed away.  We just interviewed him on Thanksgiving Day 2007 in Orange County, and we were planning to see him at the opening night of Jersey Boys Las Vegas this past weekend.  Our hearts and prayers go out to his family, cast members, fans, and all those that knew him.  He will be missed.

Here are some additional memorials:

*NOTE: The picture attached to this blog post is with John with Christy taken in Dec. 2006 in San Francisco's Jersey Boys opening night party.

Manually Downloading Old Jersey Boys Podcasts - Use This File Naming Tip

If you are interested in manually downloading older Jersey Boys Podcasts there is a file naming convention that you can use to get them downloaded using your standard web browser. 

The individual MP3 audio files are all numbered in sequential order. For instance the first podcast is "JBP-001-JerseyBoysPodcast.mp3".  The second podcast is "JBP-002-JerseyBoysPodcast.mp3". All you need to do is increment 001 to 002 to 003 to whatever number you want up to the most current podcast without getting an error. 

You do this to the URL in the browser, so the complete link for the 1st podcast is:

libsyn.com/media/aap/JBP-001-JerseyBoysPodcast.mp3

The second podcast is:

libsyn.com/media/aap/JBP-002-JerseyBoysPodcast.mp3

Just change the digits and you will get them out of the archive.  If you have any problems, drop us an email to: jerseyboyspodcast@gmail.com.

We are working on an Archive reference page with an index to make this easier. We also will have a future mailing list in the works that lets you know when a new podcast has been posted, and a full download feed for iTunes or your favorite podcatching client.
