1. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: No, I haven't forgotten about good ol' WYD. I'm in the process -- as we speak, I swear it -- of cajoling up new interviews. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, who knows, I've decided to take a Markedly Different Tack and solicit interviews from people with radically different sensibilities of my own. We'll see how that goes. Shine on, people. |

This time I do a brief interview with Brendin King, who is music director at Miami University's WMSR student radio station about how he got into student radio, where WMSR is at now, and where it's going. |

3. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: Post mortem on Episode 1. Okay, I knocked this together in maybe an hour all total. So there was very little editing done on the interview track, and some pretty crappy mixing done on intro music, intro track, and outro. Some problems I had with episode 1 could be fixed by spending more time at Audacity, but there are some stylistic/aesthetic issues which Audacity can't really fix: * Me. Interview style, pace, etc. I didn't have any questions prepared, which you can see about halfway through when there's one point where I just go 'durr' and then think of something to say. Should have cut that out, natch. Plus I engaged in something pretty typical for me when I'm talking normally -- speed mumbling. It's like regular mumbling, only five times as irritating. Plus we spent an inordinate amount of time talking about the paper process -- which really is interesting, don't get me wrong -- and not enough about how he got where he got. Also, at a half-hour, the show is pretty meaty -- especially if you're not thrilled with paper science to begin with. This could be fixed with judicious editing. *The location. This was one of the group study rooms at the library -- this is why you have the weird crappy echo-y kind of thing happening. No insulation or anything means sounds go bouncy-bouncy. Supposedly next year we'll have a somewhat proper sound room -- in the meantime, maybe I can find a space that isn't so bad. |

4. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (audio/mpeg, 10.63Mb) Description: Okay! Episode 1 is up. In this episode, I interview Aaron Yonka, a paper science safety engineer at a paper mill in Florida. We talk about how he stumbled into paper science, and how trees turn into toilet paper... er, bathroom tissue. Direct link is here.

5. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r... download (, 0.00Mb) Description: Blugh. Make that "in the next couple of weeks", maybe -- one of the people I wanted to buttonhole for an interview has gone missing. Well, gone hard-to-reach, anyway. |
