    Irish Radio!!!
    Listen to my radio show, On the Eire, from 3:00 to 4:00 pm, central. This week will feature all traditional Irish music, but tune in every week as we explore all sorts of celtic music. 90.3 FM, if you're in Beloit.

    If you're not in Beloit, no problem! You can listen online!

    I'm going to test the internet stream again...last week it was dead.

    Don't be thrown by that, though...I once did some programming on a cable-access station in Western Illinois and we didn't know it but we were totally off the air (or cable, if you want) for a couple of days and NO ONE NOTICED...nobody was watching at all...I know that this sounds like a story that Garrison Keeler told on Prarie Home Companion but it IS true.

    Even if I can't pick it up, I'm sure that you'll do a bang up job.

    Best

    We'll have the web stream going. Last week was only on air, but they've fixed it so you'll be able to listen through iTunes, Window's Media, or Real Player.

    So yeah, tune in! 3-4 pm.

    Thanks - Sean

    There may not be a show on when you try. If you try to connect with the webstream between 3-4, my show will be on and you'll hear it through whatever media player you choose.

    *&#$#%@! This radio station is falling apart. Sorry about that, guys. I'll talk to the engineer and let you know if it'll work next week. And it had better work next week, because we're featuring Bagpipes for Tartan Day!

    Ok, so I'm pretty confidant that it should work today. So tune in, 3-4 (central time!!!) and listen to my show. This theme we will be honoring Tartan Day with an all-bagpipes show!!!

    I'll do a shout-out to all you X-Markers.

    I'm on the air right now. Tell me if the webstream is working so I can hopefully fix it by the end of the show.

    Sorry, it's not working for me. I'm getting the same windows media player "codec" error listed by Celtic Amazon Goddess above. I'm don't have iTunes at work so couldn't test that one. :(

    Crap... this station is falling apart. Sorry about that, guys.

    It's not working for me either, I get the same error with windows media.
    I was just going to say that realplayer wasn't working either but when tried a second time all is well.

    sounds good

    Let me change that last post. The music sounds good but your voices are kind of muffled and sort of echoey (theres a technical term for you.) There is also a constant hum when you are talking. It's very hard to understand what you are saying.

    Hooray! We have one listener! Now I just have to work on the studio mics.... There's always something wrong at WBCR.

    Nice job, Greg. I caught the last few minutes on the real player stream. (Sorry, had to see a client).

    I'll try to catch more next week.

    it also works on iTunes. Next week should be good.
  • 9th April 07, 11:23 AM

    The webstream should be working today. Some of you said Windows didn't play it, but iTunes and RealPlayer did. This week's theme is Irish Rebel Tunes in honor of the Easter Rising of 1916. Tune in at 3:00 (central)

    Controversial? Yes.
    Fair warning.

    I won't be able to try it out today as I'm going to be away from the 'puter as of 4 EDT. I've got you on my calendar though with a reminder each week.

    Break a leg! (B)(B)

    Today will be a show of my absolute favorite celtic music. The show starts in 30 minutes! And if you don't hear anything on the webstream at exactly 3:00, wait a few minutes, because sometimes I'm late...
