Bomb Shelter Radio - The 3 Years Later Affair


The first broadcast of BSR was during the week of July 25, 2005. 

In looking through some old station materials and history, it appears that it has been 3 years, 8 months, 10 days since the last broadcast. That broadcast was held at Intervention 6 in Rockville, Maryland. I had already been on hiatus for some period of time, but I was asked to return to Intervention. The station and the listeners had some wonderful parties, and some memorable radio during Intervention's run. It was, as a recall, a pretty good show. Then again, almost all of them were... I had let myself forget that under the weight of Real Life(tm). 

44 months is a long time to be away. It is time to break loose a bit, poke fun at the serious, and remember not to take much seriously. BSR is back. SAY IT LOUD! WE ARE BACK BABY (ribs)! The plan is to return to a regularly scheduled show, add some improved technology, more awful music, lots of incoherent (incohe-rant) talk, and all the weirdness that hopefully makes you smile and think. We hope you will enjoy the chaos, the games, the chat room, the music, and the endless stories, news, and thumbing our noses at the cadre of serious idiots who clog our lives with mental gunk.

Season 13, Episode 1 debuts tonight at 8PM US/Eastern Time {Midnight UTC}. If you are looking for unpolished fun, please join us.

Look for the chat room (slack) and listen links on our website at http://bomb.shelter.radio.am/

Thanks for listening! -- Illya

AWS, New Console, First Show

Decided to start working with Amazon Web Services to handle the BSR website. There is a teaser posted here on AWS. It will be pointed to by bomb.shelter.radio.am and www.bomb.shelter.radio.am as soon as DNS refreshes. I was going to host the server at the Bomb Shelter, but my ISP keeps messing up my firewall settings on their firewall. In other news, we have been running tests with the new console software and hardware (we will continue to use the Newsroom server hosted by CT7). It looks like MIXX running on a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10 will replace the former console, which was Nicecast on Mac OS X. I've got nothing against the previous toolset, we had a lot of great shows with that console. But frankly, Apple has priced themselves out of my market. Our first show will be in April 2019. Small steps, but still steps...

Be afraid BUT read the article. Be afraid BUT take action. (I know, easier to say than to do) From the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists - Used without permission https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/current-time/ " Humanity continues to face two simultaneous existential dangers—nuclear war and climate change—that are compounded by a threat multiplier, cyber-enabled information warfare, that undercuts society’s ability to respond. The international security situation is dire, not just because these threats exist, but because world leaders have allowed the international political infrastructure for managing them to erode."
