Those who know of such things will surmise that they will soon be exposed to it too.
Had a lot of fun with the Spotlight. I guess it reminded me of how much fun podcasting is and how much I miss it. Seriously considering bringing The Piratesweek back, on a monthly basis. The Piratesmonth?? naw. aint changing the name. May start putting something out April first. (no Fool’n)
Just posted that on Facebook. Been thinking about it for a few weeks. Probably longer. I think I can keep up a monthly schedule with some small changes in the format. Mostly the elimination of the forum postings which tend to be keyboard intensive. Ironically that was the reason I started the podcast, an audio version of the FRN postings. I need to get a (ahem) project out in the next couple weeks (you may hear it this spring if one were to know such things) Then I can start looking at a piratesweek schedule. But if I write it down here, then it will force me to at least try.
**Email from Andy Yoder that he wants to use A shakespearean tragedy in his new book. Egads- Look at the blog title- I write this crap without thinking…Dont people understand this!! LOL I’m f00ked**
Just remembered the word Sci Fi in the blog description. If the first 90 seconds of the show doesn’t make you realize this is the best damn scifi podcast ever- you’re dead inside.
Our Darwin problem is really a science problem. The easier it becomes to depict the scientific enterprise as a special interest immersed in the culture wars, the easier it becomes to reject scientific findings. We see this everywhere in American culture and politics today, from the anti-vaccine movement to the repeated assertion that global warming is a deliberate “hoax” rather than a straightforward conclusion driven by reams of scientific data. Sometimes this is done for deliberate political reasons, to secure advantage for a particular industry or financial group, but just as often it is motivated by fear of the implications of what science has discovered or might discover in the future.
I have just finished the eighth and final episode of the Hall of Fame Spotlight. Well, probably not final, but that was the intended run for the immediate future. Between the lack of material for the inductees and trying to save my tendonitis ravaged hands for the day job I have decided to shelve the project for now. I have every intention to periodically bring back the program from time to time. Possibly annually.
I do enjoy this type of media. Creating audio programs, somewhat news oriented, but not live (or even live to tape) I find myself more comfortable with the ability to self edit. I fully believe my audience appreciates that too. Trust me on that, nobody wants to hear the long pauses between words as I gather my thoughts. Hats off to those of you who do live radio.
I would love to bring back the Piratesweek. I really miss it, but the 4 or 5 hours it takes I just cant justify. I am just now to the point were I can play a bit on the key board, but only for short bursts. But the new found time has left time for (cough) “other radio oriented pursuits”. With a little luck (and propagation) I’ll share more on that in the months to come.
Well lets see. I have sidelined the Piratesweek, The new Spotlight show was only intended for a eight episode run, and six have already been released. So now that the entire media empire is about run out, I have finally updated my server space and consolidated my various domains and blogs. Its all organized how I always wanted it to be (behind the scenes) Now that I really dont need it as much LOL
I’ll probably find uses for it, I guess in the grand sceme of thing I aint done yet, but damn, I should of done all this years ago.
Anyway RFPrograms, Piratesweek and ShortwavePirate have all been condensed into one space. and all the misc storage has been organised. Call it winter house cleaning.
