== Trivia ==
* Todd was a part-time radio announcer and disc jockey while still in high school.
* Todd's kids appear in every single episode, usually at or near the beginning.
* In the production script, the intro portion is titled "Weather Report". The outro portion is called "Kiss 'n' Ride".
* Toddcast uses open source software and Creative Commons licensing not (just for) cost or simplicity, but because Todd thinks they're the best tools to create and share content.

== Trivia ==
* Todd was a part-time radio announcer and disc jockey while still in high school.
* Todd's kids appear in every single episode, usually at or near the beginning.
* In the production script, the intro portion is titled "Weather Report". The outro portion is called "Kiss 'n' Ride".
* Toddcast uses open source software and Creative Commons licensing not (just for) cost or simplicity, but because Todd thinks they're the best tools to create and share content.
