Yet Another Production Update

2011-12-28 by The Air Staff of Erie Looking Productions, tagged as shortwave

We just made it past the 30 minute mark for the recorded audio. We've just got a few more pieces to record and then we can move things to the next step by getting the audio to the radio station.

As for the next regular podcast it does seem that that will now be January 9th at the utmost earliest. Some things outside the realm of production activities are in play that may make things interesting operationally.

Quick Production Update

2011-12-27 by The Air Staff of Erie Looking Productions, tagged as shortwave

We've got about one third of the New Year's Eve Special for LISTen: An LISNews.org Program produced. We remain on track for our hour-long radio debut.

Gopher Space

2011-12-20 by Stephen Michael Kellat, tagged as gopher

To find more personal posts by me rather than those related to the operations of Erie Looking Productions, visit me on Gopher at gopher://sdf.lonestar.org/1/users/skellat/. Yes, it is austere. It works, though.

Eventually I will get the gophermap fixed to be somewhat more readable. To find how to view gopher yourself, visit gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/0/gopher/wbgopher.
