Audio content/podcasts that appear lost but can be accessed by correcting the url

Along the years I had recorded and posted a bunch of interviews/podcasts. When clicking on listen they appear lost but if you read carefully the explanation provided you'll see you should be able to access them by inserting "files/" in front of "pub" within the url.

I tried it for the recording of Amory Lovins presentation at Islandwood and it worked :)

see the original link (now not working)

http://www.radio4all.net/pub/archive/04.01.05/[email protected]/1374-1-20050212-amorylovinsAB.mp3

Adding "files/" in the url before "pub"

http://www.radio4all.net/files/pub/archive/04.01.05/[email protected]/1374-1-20050212-amorylovinsAB.mp3

Bingo, it works :) 

Same for my old interview of Jay Inslee in 2007 (for instance)

If I have the courage I'll fix the urls myself, if not, add "files/" in front of pub and magic, it works.

Page or Function Not Found

If you are trying to download archive files from 2006-2008, we are aware of a problem, the file request sends you to this page rather than the program. All of these programs are available on www.radio4all.net/files/pub. If you insert 'files/' in front of 'pub/' in the URL for the program you want, you'll reach it, or you can browse the whole directory. We are working on a more permanent solution.

It is on the greenovationtv blog and with this 3 minute introductory podcast you can listen to.

Sustainability coverage on NPR?

Does NPR report enough about sustainability issues? They claim they do. I disagree :)
Those are piecemeal programs here and there but there is not one daily rendez-vous about those issues.
Is that normal considering what is at stake? Are the environmental organizations lobbying for more radio programs and/or (even better) coproducing their own segments via a radiobrodcasting alliance? Unfortunately radiobroadcasting is not on their radar screen except with very limited projects  that do not try to bring together as many diverse groups as possible.
When will they get it? Soon I hope but it would be great if our local NPR stations were also more proactive.

Gallery Fraga: blog + podcast

Gallery Fraga opened a blog and podcasts. I love the idea. Remember the interviews of artists on Voice of Bainbridge? Unfortunately most of the recordings are now unavailable since the server where they were stored closed down... You can listen to the artist talking about her work: great :)

City Meetings Go Audio But

City meetings are now recorded but accessing them is a very complicated and not user friendly story. They have kept each audio on the page related to the meeting that is recorded instead of having one index page where all the audios are listed and you can very quickly and easily select the one(s) you want ot listen to. Of course the best way is to provide an automatic subscription via email (feedblitz) and an rss. Until this is (easily) done, getting to the recording you care for looks very much like a labyrinth... Although the intent is laudable, this is NOT the right way to do it :)

Jill Bamburg on EcoTalk

Invest $30 and become a radio reporter

A visitor wishes there were more audio-recordings like the two most recent ones. The solution is easy: if more (a few) people were starting to use MP3 recorders to record events they attend, Voice of Bainbridge would be very happy to host their audio-files :)
The recorder pictured here costs $30 and you just have to click two buttons to make it work (and install one battery). Give it a try :)

Jeremy Smithson about solar energy and electric cars

Jeremy Smithson of Pugetsoundsolar gave this excellent presentation about solar power and electric cars. But my recorder got full before the end :(

Donald Shoup and the high (hidden) cost of "free" parking

Diane Horn hosts a public interest radio program entitled the sustainability segment on KEXP that airs at the typical 7 am on saturdays. Her guest last saturday was Donald Shoup, THE expert on parking issues. He explains the high cost of so called free parking and offers alternative strategies that should be considered for Winslow. Maybe Islandwood could invite Shoup for a conference (and some local consulting)?
LISTEN and spread the word :)

A quote about podcasting at UW

"Podcasting is perhaps the most exciting innovation to come along in the teaching and learning environment since I've been working at the University" David Aldrich (at the end of the article).
The question remains: why access should be limited to students when the whole community could benefit? More info and the list of the podcasts you cannot listen to (at least for now). After all the dissemination of knowledge is part of the core mission of the University.

What about nuclear power?

I have been postponing for months taking out one segment of the conference given in February by Amory Lovins where he talks about nuclear energy as a non-solution. Here it is (7 min).

Beach combers vs beach owners

An interesting decision in Michigan: Read   
The Michigan Supreme Court noted that “walking the beach below the ordinary high water mark is inherent in the exercise of traditionally protected public rights and falls within the scope of the public trust.”  The court added: “This activity remains subject to regulation, as is any use of the public trust.”

Interview with Congressman Jay Inslee

This Monday, Philippe Boucher sat with Jay Inslee on a sunny bench at the Farmer's market.

Islanders had asked VoB to transmit questions to Jay about the filibuster and the electoral reform (paper trail etc), here are his answers.
At the end we discussed the ferry problem, the fares and why we are in this situation.
Listen (16 min).

Winning the oil end game, by Amory Lovins

We are happy to be back with this recording of the conference given by Amory Lovins this Friday at Islandwood.
Amory who comes to the island to teach at the Bainbridge Graduate Institute created by Gifford Pinchot explained to a full house the argument of his most recent book, Winning the oil end game.
He showed how super-efficient cars could be built very rapidly, how alternate bio-fuels could be economically developed and energy wastes eliminated to the extent this country's oil dependency would disappear.
A very compelling argument.   Listen  (57 min)
Thanks to radioa4all.net for hosting the recording.
The book can be downloaded for free.
We recommend a visit to the site of the Rocky Mountain Institute.

A new Voice of Bainbridge (by Tina Lieu)

It all started with frustration, searching for a decent radio program on Sunday night while washing the dishes. Besides the lack of talk programs, Philippe Boucher wanted to hear more programs about Bainbridge, the environment and political issues not covered by mainstream media.
"But how do you serve a community like Bainbridge Island?" said Boucher, a Winslow resident.
"The logic is we should have our own radio (station)."
