Belated note of thanks

[ghost of miles]

Many apologies for the oversight, but much belated appreciation to the several Organissimo posters who contributed to the recent Night Lights online fund-drive--we made our goal and then some. Such votes of support from this crowd in particular are especially heartening... many thanks. We'll have an on-air drive in the autumn, and I'll probably drop a note or two about that (esp. for any folks who missed the summer online drive & still want to kick in a few bucks), but its presence here will be very low-key; also, next year's summer online drive will be shortened up & done in 7-10 days (as opposed to three weeks). As always, any input or suggestions regarding the show, the fund-drive, or anything else are welcome; I still think of this board as the home base for the program. We're on 14 stations now in 38 markets, and many individual episodes have been licensed through PRX for broadcast on stations all over the country (most recently the Louis Armstrong "It's All in the Game" show was picked up by Mississippi Public Broadcasting for broadcast on its statewide radio network). I don't think the distribution we've had would've been possible without the early support for the show shown here, so again, many thanks.

That's great news - congrats!

a plea (you guys will probably need more bucks for this): I don't suppose there's any chance that archived shows will eventually be available in another audio format(s)?

We may go to streaming mp3s at some point, but we'll never be able to do podcasts of the entire show (that is, unless copyright restrictions/royalties suddenly changed drastically regarding podcasts...but I don't foresee that happening). In the meantime, you might find this thread of interest.

Thanks so much for the link! RA can be problematic on my system...

I hear you on the copyright issues, which are (imo) just crazy. (Used to deal with them myself when I was doing streaming broadcasts.)
