More podcasts coming

Those of you checking here for podcasts, especially U Maine Thursday series programs, several will post shortly. Please be patient…

Site upgrades

There had been a security issue with the previous installation of peacecast.us. I’ve been putting off fixing it. Now I have re-installed the site. Let me know if you have any issues.

Building the site

This is just a short note to let visitors know that restoration of peacecast.us is continuing. One hang-up has been getting images to sit properly. But I think I have a handle on that, except I can’t get captions to work like I’d like them to. Please give this process another week or so before expecting the site to be up-to-date.

Meanwhile, it’s good to go through the archive programs and re-listen to some. Today I have played back Medea Benjamin and the Hiroshima Day event. These are terrific programs to have available. Stan Goff too, as I have that program from almost 20 months ago featured. I’d say it’s clairvoyant about what has happened in Iraq during that time, except it really did not take a genius to understand that Goff was right about everything he said.

Counterpunch website of the weekend

For the weekend of March 25/26, 2006, Counterpunch chose peacecast.us as its Site of the Weekend. This is about the greatest recognition and honor I can imagine this little effort could have received. There is still traffic from that link, the latest a few hours ago from this Counterpunch page. Thank you Alex and Jeffrey for the amazing resource that is Counterpunch. And thanks to all Counterpunch readers who have given this site a try.

I hope that with this new design, what you’ll see–and hear–here is evidence that we in eastern Maine are busy day in, day out, building a community of peacemakers with analysis, arguments, influence, and power.

New peacecast.us

Even though Deep Blade Journal has ended, podcast production and posting will continue here at peacecast.us. There will be a time period now when most of the archives will be off line. Not all archive posts and accompanying podcasts will be restored. But, several podcasts that have been in the can since October 2006 (some of which have already broadcast on WERU Community Radio, 89.9 FM Blue Hill, Maine and 102.9 FM Bangor, Maine). A full list of these programs will appear in a subsequent post.

Please email me at info at peacecast.us if you have any questions.
