Campbell's Short Short Story

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 11 Mar 2005 16:54:00 -0800

From The Nostalgia Pages (http://www.lofcom.com/nostalgia/):

"Uncirculated Programs from the Elizabeth McLeod collection of original transcription discs, donated in the interest of free enjoyment and exchange of Public Domain OTR.

"There's a world of little-known programming out there, yet to be discovered or controlled by any all-encompassing corporate machine. These examples are made available without charge in the hope that they will inspire other collectors to bring forward additional hidden treasures -- and to prove that there's more to the world of OTR than the shows everyone's heard a million times."

Campbell's Short Short Story. 5/3/40. CBS/WABC. Sponsored by Campbell Soups. From 12" 78rpm aircheck discs recorded by Champion Recording Company. A complete-in-one-episode twist on the daytime drama format. Today's drama, Success Story; or, Bernice Morgan Presents."

Enjoy!

One thing I've found a need for is merging MP3 files without having to re-encode the whole thing. An excellent tool for this is MP3 Trimmer, available at Deep Niner. This is a Macintosh only application. Works great.

Windows users should try Direct MP3 Joiner.

The Beatles and Paul is Dead (PID)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 12 Feb 2005 13:20:00 -0800

I'll soon be posting a radio broadcast from the early 1970's that contatins the actual radio broadcast that set in motion the whole Paul is Dead phenomon. It's multi part, pretty long files. Anyone have any interest in this?

This whole podcasting thing

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 12 Feb 2005 12:57:00 -0800

I've just spent an enormous amount of time (roughly 5 hours, spread out over last night and this afternoon) learning everything there is to know about podcasting. I'm still a little confused, but a level of grokdom is emerging.

The things I'm still confused about:

I'm still not sure about the "feed" aspect of this. I downloaded iPodderX Lite and was able to subscribe to a couple of podcasts, no problem. I even managed to subscribe to my own, but only by cutting and pasting my feedburner address (http://feeds.feedburner.com/Vintagesounds) into the application. What the heck is the XML link for? If anyone cares to help me on this, please do so.
When I post a new show, does my "feed" know this? How?
Am I making a mistake in using Blogger? I like the anonymity of it. I like that it is hooked into Google (I like to think that give my blog a little better chance in coming up higher in the search rankings, but I'm probably deluding myself on theat). What do you think?

The things I'm grocking:

Podcasting is gonna be huge. Where we are today with it reminds me very much where we were with The Web around the summer of 1995, maybe even earlier. I'm excited about the internet again.
When the GP (general public) finds out how to use Podcasting to get TV shows and other visual materials, all heck is going to break loose. This is going to break the final "content barrier", which is the unweildly size of video files. Some morning in the near future, I'll wake up, fire up my Power Book, and off load an entire day's worth of viewing pleasure that has been downloaded over night.

This weekend has been what I like to call a Jetson's Moment. Still no flying cars, but we're getting there.
