Mediageek Radioshow Live from NCMR on Friday Now On-line

Subject says it. Drew and I phoned in from our well-appointed 1970s vintage Adam's Mark hotel room at 5:30 PM last Friday to do our radio show live from the conference. We had a couple of audio clips from Amy Goodman and Naomi Klein in Urbana earlier in the week and talked some about our experiences with the first day of the conference.

Audio Update

Audio from the National Conference for Media Reform is slowly but surely getting online. So far all of Friday's sessions are up, as are many of Saturday's and the Bill Moyers speech at today's closing session. Hopefully within the next day or so we'll have nearly everything in place. All of the audio is available in MP3 format, but beware the largesse (~40-50 MB per file).

Meta: Traffic to BeTheMedia Starting to Grow

We've gone from having less than 100 hits yesterday to having 235 as of 12:22 PM today. It seems like the site Buzzflash.com is driving 3/4 of the traffic. I've never read the site before, but it seems kind of like a left-liberal Drudge report. Apparently it gets a lot of traffic because they're diving it here like crazy.

So, hello to Buzzflash readers. Please send us an email with any comments about what you're reading, and share this site with your friends.

Prometheus at NCMR

Got an email this morning from the Prometheus mailing list:

pete tridish and the organizers of the prometheus radio project would like to cordially invite any and all LPFM stations, applicants, and hopefuls to a caucus at the national conference on media reform!

caucuses will break out saturday may 14th at 4pm, at the millenium hotel in st. louis. we're looking forward to meeting stations from washington state, arizona, massachusetts, and beyond!

I know there's at least a few people from WRFU, the soon-to-broadcast low power station in Urbana, who'll be in town. Should be an easy way to meet a mix of LPFM activists. The Prometheus folks are always informative and fun.
