Sorry, no BSR this evening... in related news, we got a Spotify... in unrelated news, "The world is going to end in 12 years"

Bomb Shelter Radio Studio/Transmitter Site, circa 1989(*)
(RANT)

OK, let us get that "end of the world" thing out of the way first. The full quote was:

“Millennials and people, you know, Gen Z and all these folks that will come after us are looking up and we’re like, The world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?” the freshman congresswoman said. “This is the war—this is our World War II.” -- Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quoted at https://www.newsweek.com/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-climate-change-world-will-end-12-years-un-report-1300873 

I bring it up because there seems to be a kerfluffle about the "12 years" part in the news media (again). Seems to me we shouldn't worry about the world ending on a particular date in 2033, we should be worrying about making sure it doesn't happen at all. FOCUS ON THE BIG PICTURE FOLKS! Meanwhile, even a sea sponge should know that people will take your embellishments, twist them, and throw shade on a legitimate topic, don't you agree AOC?

No BSR tonight, BSR next Thursday. We hope you will join us.

Heidi set up a Spotify playlist for people to enjoy since there is no show tonight, you can find it at https://open.spotify.com/user/qe8bply8oh8w34z13tugws6q6/playlist/0Xiymqkot2ltK3BgjkW7JY?si=9L3lXwqmQwGlSVxRIsI2vQ

Have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend!

Cheers,
Illya

(*) Actually this is a scene from Weird Al's classic film UHF. In real life it was the transmitter for KGTO AM 1050 in Tulsa, OK.

What will you use to listen to BSR?

So, in about seven days BSR will be back on the air. For some folks, connecting to BSR will be old hat. The server is in the same location it was during our last million broadcasts, and they already have a streaming application they are familiar with. For others, this may be a new experience (and if so, welcome aboard!) or they need a refresher. Rather than try a one size fits all tutorial just yet, I figured I would start with some basic questions. What listening tool would you like to use? (e.g. iTunes) What operating system are you on? (e.g. Windows) This will help us develop a few tutorials to get folks started. Please let us know in the comments. And now, your moment of zen… https://twitter.com/VirginAustralia/status/1118760531618172928 Cheers, Illya PS: In theory this should post automatically to the slack channel as well. It is interesting to see the difference between a tool that encourages collaboration (slack), and one that is a closed system (f...

Does this still work?

A quick test of the BSR blog to see if it still functions properly. (Answer: It sort of does, but Blogger gets a bit confused when you are working with multiple GMail accounts... groan) There will be a show tonight at 8PM US/Eastern.
