In this episode, Cameron decided to pay $20 for the full In App Purchase inside of Ferrite for iPad, so that he could edit the entire episode on iPad.

The results are a mixed bag. And we apologize for Cameron falling off the podcast for a thirty second interval or two. Also, our favorite part is at approximately the 45:20 mark.

After a short hiatus, Jon and Cameron return to talk about how sales have gone during the first month of ToneBands availability.

ToneBands have been for sale officially, for 7 days and 16 hours. Jon and Cameron offer their hot takes on the first week of availability.

There's no summary, no build up, no beating around the bush. ToneBands are available today at ToneBands.com. During this episode, Jon and Cameron discuss this historic event.

We've taken a few weeks off while we waited for the band and worked out logistics. But we're close! Website and official sales discussed in this fantastic episode!

In an abbreviated emergency episode of the podcast (due mostly to Cameron's inability to stay healthy), the guys discuss a couple potential issues that have arisen during the purchase of the first order of ToneBands. Will the order still be possible? Will the project bankrupt our protagonists? Find out in this emergency episode of the Making the Bands podcast.

Very important news. Our order has been placed. Soon, we will have bands which will be available for sale on our website! Listen as Jon and Cameron discuss the process of ordering bands, setting up a website, and what comes next. And for those of you who don't get tired of listening to us talk, we've included a twenty minute rant with our opinions on Stardew Valley.

• DigitalOcean: Cloud computing designed for developers — Our website will be hosted on DigitalOcean. It's a VPS, so you need to be comfortable working in the Linux command line. But it's extremely affordable and very powerful.
• Stardew Valley — We both just really like Stardew Valley.
