If you wish to subscribe to the "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" podcast - audio-only, there are two options:

 

Option 1: Subscribe right here to the "Nerd Noise Radio Network - All Channels" podcast feed. Feed will include Channels 1, 2, 3, and any future channels not yet planned. Feed will also include podcasts in high quality, stereo where applicable, and episodes will never expire off the feed. Therefore it is STRONGLY recommended that you subscribe to this Nerd Noise Radio feed and bypass all others. This one will contain all their content anyway.

 

Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1 ("Noise from the Hearts of Nerds") episodes, and not in any of the other content that is or will be offered by Nerd Noise Radio, there is a Channel 1-specific feed. But it's hosted on a free account, rather than an upgraded account like the "All Channels Feed" with lower quality sound (mono, I believe), a maximum 2hrs per month of content (so if the month's episodes run longer than that, they may need to be trimmed), and episodes expire off the feed forever after 90 days. It is STRONGLY recommended for most listeners to subscribe to the All-Channels feed instead. However, if you really are only interested in Channel 1 content, here's the RSS:

p.s. here's the link to the wikipedia page for "The Floppy Show"….

…fun fact: my brother and I appeared on the show once in '86 or '87, though I have not been able to find any footage of our appearance. We were hellions, though….we kept trying to sneak into the birthday line. :-D

p.p.s. Only very, -VERY- tenuously related: Here's the wikipedia to another kid's show that was also from the greater Des Moines area that we also watched as kids - "Betty Lou, and the House of the Magic Window":
