Progressives for Immigration Reform podcast

[ecosophia]

I suspect a good many of my readers will recall last year's lively conversation, hosted by the Center for Progressive Urban Politics, featuring me, James Howard Kunstler, Chris Martenson, Frank Morris, and Dmitry Orlov. Kevin Lynn, the host and organizer of that event, recently had me as a guest on his podcast for a very wide-ranging discussion. It's now available for listening and download. Enjoy!

Soso, Hm. 170MB...

A link to the audio file which is 170 megs big - and could be done with 31.
The mp3 encoder lame with the preset voice and you've got absolutely the same perceived quality. But "Unlimited storage and bandwidth" means nobody cares about how many disks are used...

You'll have to take that up with the people who do the podcast; I have no control over what they do with the files. I just talk...

Mate,

Did you ever consider for even one brief moment to say 'thanks for letting us know about this podcast', before getting on your little whine and moan routine?

I'm not saying that your social skills leave much to be desired, but it sure looks that way to me!

The content of the podcast is so far (still going through it) excellent. But I must point out that Marshall McLuhan said oh so many decades ago “The Medium is The Message” and in this particular case to listen to the podcast I had to download an oddball podcast player which then did a poor job of doing what podcast players have been doing for more than a decade: facilitating listening to an audio recording. Certainly not of your doing, respected Archdruid, but the God of Progress in this case (“hey, let’s come up with a Kewl New podcast playrrr!!!”) certainly obstructed my attempt to Just Listen.

I wrote a scathing one-star review (was challenging to avoid foul language, but I did so) of the podcast player and submitted it, then noticed it has a 4.7 rating with over 1400 reviews. Hah, what do I know about anything... :-)
