Several years ago I pulled out some of my precious prized ancient cassette tape air-checks from radio broadcasting I have done at various stations throughout my 25 year career, "town to town up and down the dial". At that time, Odeo.com was a fantastic resource for uploading and storing audio files. I painstakingly loaded hour after hour of music and conversation with the self assurance that I was finally going "digital" with my old tapes and none too soon.

"They're on the internet now...I don't have to worry about keeping all these tapes around anymore".

Mistake.

Now, in August of 2011, Odeo is no more. Nope. They sold the site to someone who is now selling something else entirely and I guess they flushed all the other content down the proverbial internet drain. This is an important lesson for all of us. No matter how permanent or buzz-worthy a site might be today, there are NO guarantees they will be here tomorrow. Lucky for me I saved the best ones in the vault. Still, I would love to have them all back again.

Sound Session - The Lander Radio Podcast

For the past six months or so I have had an idea simmering on the back burner of my mind to produce a series of musically based podcasts. The idea really boils down to bringing together an intimate panel of music-heads, music fans, people who just love to live, eat, sleep, converse, and immerse themselves in all kinds of musical genres. I knew I wanted to record these in our posh new XLR studios in the lower level of the Lander Learning Center. So, I did some brainstorming and put together a short list of topics and guests and we are now rolling with production.

The first show is based on the "Best of 2o10 (so far) and features three excellent musical panelists including Dr. Branimer "Branko" Reiger, Dr. Lee Vartanian, and Mandy McCaslan, all colleagues of mine at Lander U. I was SO pleased with the song choices each of them brought to the table and the discussions were well done. Check them out on I-tunes by searching for Sound Session Lander Radio or you can download (or just listen) to both parts of our first show here.
