Peacecast.us is a project of Eric & Tammy Perry Olson. It is associated with the Peace & Justice Center of Eastern Maine through our volunteer activities. Many of the programs found here are those sponsored by the Center in one way or another. All programs on this site are always free downloads.Occasionally you can hear broadcast versions of our programs on WERU Community Radio 89.9 MHz FM, Blue Hill, Maine.
The main intent of this site is to distribute original, locally-produce media that offer insights or reporting of events with implications for the peace movement and issues of war and peace in the world.
While our ongoing costs to produce this site are quite low, it does take a lot of time. And getting to places in order to record can be very time consuming and often can generate additional costs. Equipment is our major cost. We have tons of drives and over a terabyte of available storage. We built a new ultra-quiet computer this year at a cost of over $1200. That’s not bad considering it has so much power to develop the programs you hear, but it does bite our resources. The really big thing, however, is that we have invested nearly $3000 in mikes, cables, stands, a small video camera, recording boxes, and software we use for producing the programs you download without charge. Now that’s pretty serious. But we believe in this little thing, so we do it.
How about you? Do you like what you hear when you download? Do you believe in quality, alternative media? Don’t you think it’s worth making a small donation to help us maintain this site and improve our production capabilities? $5 to $25 per user is the appropriate range, but any amount is welcome. Please help. Please click the PayPal “Donate” button at right and follow the instructions. You may use your PayPal account, or just supply a credit card number if you do not have PayPal. It’s fast and easy. Please help. Thank you!
