Episode 139 - The Raw Episode

uncledeercamp@hotmail.com (Steve and Byron) — Mon, 25 May 2009 20:06:29 PDT

It's very uncomfortable to do this from where I'm at this evening, but I'm sick and tired of these bits sitting on my computer and not getting posted.

After being all optimistic and ready to post Episode 139 just about 1 month ago, life threw a couple curve balls at me and Byron.

He's had to deal with studies and classes that have been very demanding on his time and sanity, and I've been coping with family issues that have taken almost every spare moment of time I have. In fact, I'm posting this episode from a hospital lobby that has WiFi. The good thing is that this looks to be the last night I’ll have to spend here. Thank God.

More on that the next time Byron and I record.

Shit, we're going to have one hell of an episode if we can ever manage to get it together long enough to record. With any luck, that'll be this weekend, but I really don't want to jinx it.

Anyway, the "new" episode is posted - and it's a bit of a departure from all previous episodes. While I tried to find the time that I needed to edit the bits, it was just easier to post them in their raw, unedited format. I’ve talked about doing this before before, but I never had the guts to do it. The sad truth is that most folks won’t even notice that I’ve done (not done) anything.

Mostly I wanted to say thanks for sticking with us during this rough time. Byron and I are doing our best to make the time to get new material together and there will be more. Count on it.

I recently received some new intro music from Steve Ojeda, plus a whole CD of music from a new artist called Slim. I’m going to do my best to get his music posted this week.

Byron and I are also going to be posting more than just episode bits on our Deercamp Blog in the future. So if aren’t a subscriber to our Blog, you may want to add it to your iGoogle page sometime soon.

Deercamp News Flash! End of an Era

uncledeercamp@hotmail.com (Steve and Byron) — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 07:41:21 PDT

I've been holding on to a bit from the last episode that started out with Byron and I discussing whether or not we should hang on to our Live365 station. I figured that if it was something that listeners really enjoyed, then I'd happily pay the dues and maintain the status quo.

But that was before I saw the bill and thought about how hard we've had to fight just to just have a voice - even though we were paying for the service. What the fuck?

Ever since the bullshit with the CRB went down over a year ago, Live365 has barely managed to hold on to what little they had. And while they talked a good game, they did very little to fight for the rights of the small broadcaster and left stations like Uncle Deercamp to twist in the wind.

Now, thanks to increased broadcasting fees, it's been incredibly hard for broadcasters like Byron and I to compete. We can't afford to buy a broadcasting package that would allow us to reach the number of folks that we would like to (or had previously been able to do). And I'm not going to waste good money broadcasting to a mere 10 listeners at a time. That's crap.

The truth of the matter is that most businesses have told their IT departments to block Live365, and if you want to listen to something at your place of employment, you're listening to an iPod. That's the future. Not Live365.

This will no doubt be brought up on the next show and I'll save you the continued diatribe. The short version is that I canceled our Live365 Station last night (now I just need my money back) and unless you're a VIP listener, you won't be able to tune in.

We're not doing this as some kind of sour-grapes thing. Uncle Deercamp has been the highest rated all original comedy network on Live365 for a few years now. And we were consistently a top 5 station in the comedy genre. Many contenders (and pretenders) came and went during or time with Live365, and now we're retiring as a champion.

If there comes a time that I'm proven wrong about Internet Radio, we may revisit Live365.

But in the meantime, we'll continue to belt out the material right here and on our podcast. And we'll keep our eyes open for new venues.
