Ep 1: "The Future of Anthracite Coal" - Feb. 10, 2009

The topic for Feb. 10, 2009 will be "The Future of Anthracite Coal", you may participate in the live discussion by posting comments here because we will be monitoring this thread and we will get to as many of them as possible. Note as the show progresses we will be adding live guest and commentary for future shows too so you will be able to participate in the live discussion if you are interested. Future topics and guest lists will be posted to this forum as they come up.

I'll unlock this thread right before we go live.

Well, we had some made technical difficulties tonight. We ended up with a recording of the show, but the live stream apparently got screwed up. We'll be getting the recording posted tonight in a few hours. We'll also be leaving this thread open for a while, so after listening if you guys have comments or questions fire away. We'll put some time aside in the next episode to answer questions that get posted or PM'd to either PatrickAHS or myself.

There will also be a thread started for the next episode with a poll for what the topic should be, make sure to head over and vote!

Thanks to everyone who tried to listen live. Murphy was putting in overtime tonight, doing a number on our show, but we'll get things ironed by the next one.

Well done gentlemen. Thanks. There's a lot of potential for this format.

well done!

Nice job guys, I'm looking forward to your next show.

Thanks guys! I had no idea you were doing a show. I don't venture past the traditional coal forums much. Yesterday I saw a new category for Coal Radio Show. I had to download and listen right away

Some how in larger letters or at the top please tell the day and time or maybe have a count down clock of the next radio show? Unless I'm an iddiot and my wife calls me that I dont see the time jumping out at me? Thanks

Well I did have a giant banner up on the main forum for almost a week before the first show. I'll be adding a page and some other things to better advertise it as I get time. In addition we're going to have a set day and time each month which has not been decided on yet.

I'll be starting a locked thread for the next show shortly. Subscribe to that thread so you'll be emailed when posts go into it. When I unlock it an hour or 30 minutes before the show I'll post a reminder to the thread and you'll get an email before the show starts.

Now that Ep. 2 is out, I can finish work on the remixed version of Ep. #1. Stay tuned to 6SR for details.

Gee, live broadcast using Icecast 2.0, I wonder where they got that idea?

From the hundreds or thousands of other people using it for the same purpose, the specific setup we're using since we are not in the same physical location I came across in a post on the Icecast forum or possibly another forum. In any event its certainly not an original idea as many people use the same setup.

My apologies. I run an internet radio network that also uses icecast. Honestly, yours is the only other entity I have heard of attempting to use this free/open source application for production purposes. It can be rather unwieldy, and requires a fair amount of configuration to run properly. I found it a strange coincidence that this live broadcast was also using icecast instead of many of the more user friendly (yet expensive) commercial options. I didn't mean to imply anything else.

Secondly, my radio network also broadcasts using a similar CC license, and I believe I am fully within my right to rebroadcast the episodes -- with slight editing to take out some of the dead air, and perhaps with some music. That is the primary reason the "creative" part is in "creative commons." However, in the interest of community, I will not post the episodes until you have had proper time to review them.

You're more than welcome to rebroadcast the files however you are mistaken about the license. It specifically does not allow altering the files and that would include the content or the meta data. It also forbids using them for commercial purposes, the only changes it allows for are technical in nature if for example you wanted to encode them to another format. Other than that they must be rebroadcast as-is without any changes.
