| A Radio Show: WAIF Public Radio in Cincinnati has a regular weekly program called "Orion's Nebula", on Thurdays at 3-4 pm. An hour of broadcast filk every week, thanks to the DJ/programmer there, Bill Bacher. Bill writes: WAIF now has a website: http://www.waif883.org . Among the stuff you can find there is a page with a streaming feed of the broadcast. This is a mixed blessing because the audio quality of the live feed is pretty bad. On the same page, though,an archive is kept of broadcasts. A program is archived for 96 (I think) hours after broadcast, and the sound quality is OK for these downloads. Again, it is a mixed blessing, because the archives are indexed in a confusing manner: they are stored in units of 1 hour length, and indexed by the ending hour of the unit, not by the show name. Also last fall I noticed that the links were not changed when Daylight Savings Time ended, which can be really confusing. |
