I'm just now airing your AA_3URLs20041003 podcast here on the Whole Wheat Radio webcast. I'm very excited to hear what you're doing. We have a streak of activism as well ... and this is great to hear your show! I couldn't find an email address on your site or else I'd write an email. I'll just use this comment (erase if you like later) for a moment. We can pick up podcasts and webcasting automatically (http://www.wholewheatradio.org/jbb/comments.php?id=P227_0_1_0) and I'd love to do that with yours. The only hitch is, I need to have some short segments (5-10 minutes is great) ... so if you have any of those or plan on producing them, it's a perfect fit! Also, you're saving your MP3s as 128kbps/44Hz which is very high quality, but makes very big files for download. I'm writing a series of podcaster tips (http://www.wholewheatradio.org/jbb/comments.php?id=P224_0_1_0) and will be doing the next one on formats to save. But just wanted to give you a heads up that 56kbps/22Hz is fine for vocal work. That will make your MP3s much smaller and more likely people will download them. Sorry to come across so strong in a first post, but am listening to you now, running the station, keeping up on podcasts etc so very busy. I just wanted you to know that I *love* what you're doing and would like to expose more listeners to it! Hi!

Listening to the background at Weaver Street Market made me homesick.. Would love to talk with you about a podcast site I am putting together. It's for independent musicians, and we will be casting small casts (one song segments)in a variety of musical categories to be sent to iPods. This is an effort to tilt the balance of power back into the user's and artist's camps rather than the record company's. We call this project IndieFeed. I'm still running around collecting content. Should be ready for podcast soon! I know Chapel Hill is rife with great independent bands, perhaps you have a few in mind who would like some exposure? :) Loving this premise, please keep up the good work.

I'll be blogging the state of AZ over the weekend with a crew from Phoenix then heading back home for the big meltdown, saving my strength for whatever fresh hell awaits us after the 2nd. If the bastards try to steal it Again, hopefully we'll have this country papered... might not change anything, but I'll be damned if I'll see us go without a whimper like last time - peace, and let me know if you'd like to do an interview sometime... yours, scarlet p. hey Audioactivist, thanks for the shout out – just found it while checking links on google.
