ATTENTION USENET USERS - White Rose Shows are posted to Usenet!

Are you one of the many people for whom Usenet is still more convenient than the WWW for downloading binaries?

Well, ALL of the Liberal/Progressive talk radio shows archived by White Rose Society are posted daily to the usenet news:alt.binaries.sounds.radio.misc .

Just another free service of http://www.WhiteRoseSociety.org

Please Kick this when you read it. Thanks!

1,733,891 headers in sounds.radio.misc. This could take some time.

I use newsleecher.

Thanks Ben, for we slow connection people who often miss out on good radio, Usenet is a must! People in rural areas do not have access whether or not they are low income and inner city people are not able to afford fast internet, so the slow and cumbersome 56k is still in existance winely.

Ben, again thanks so much, you are a true gem in the Net community!


Love,
Cat In Seattle

THANKS!!


For others, use filters to remove posts from the RW radio show posters and that will keep the daily file count down so it's easier to find the good stuff.

A question; Do you think I should add an audio blurb about my funding drive to the usenet articles? Would that be offensive?

Gotta pay for the stuff, and you can't put Google ads in them.

Shelby inserts donation requests in his streaming efforts and I was never really annoyed when I used that stream for Hartmann. It's necessary. Bandwidth is not free!

The Usenet upload is great. When the company stopped all streaming, I used Replay Radio to record your repeating stream. Problem was remembering to start it at the start of the first hour (typically at 6pm here right after dinner) but sometimes I would for get. With the Usenet posts I can just download it when I get home. If my first server choice has dropped the posts (or if one segment does not download) I pick it up off of another server with longer retention (but limited DLs). Also, I have choices of shows to D/L. Randi, Werbe, Guy James, Bob Kincaid, Liz Brown, all sorts of shows that you provide that I can D/L and check out.

Hey, what's this show? All Things Reconsidered by Bruce Burch. I'm gonna listen to that tomorrow.

I'll also make my overdue donation. :blush:

Makes it easier.

There is no reason to multiply the number of ways you can encode a binary.

Just FYI. :-)

Bruce Burch's show is on the new Head On Radio Network, which which I am affiliated. That show is actually over, and a new daily show called The Bruce Burch Show started last week, and I am tardy in getting the archive of it online.

And no, were no relation other than likely VERY distant cousins.

As an aside, I wish I (or someone) had the time and inclination to put together at least a rough guide to Usenet's active groups. Back when only a few hundred existed, most of them had content that at least had something in common with the group name. Now, you can find a dozen iterations of foo.some.subject, and it can take a long time to discover the ones where people, real people, actually hang out, discuss, and/or post what you're looking to find unless you already know about it. You can even find what you think is that group, only to discover it is essentially a skewed mirror of a larger group, meaning some of what is in the larger group is there, but most of it isn't. Often the people who post don't do traditional cross-posting, so you can't find the real group by following headers. The binaries hierarchy is especially bad due to the SPAM and the bots that occasionally create new, similarly named groups just to puke SPAM into them so they get propogated.

I have my own lists, and I'll add this to it. Maybe someday I'll get just bored enough to start a sampling of the first 100 headers of every available group (which could probably take days) and then later look at them to see if anything but SPAM is there (which could take weeks) ... but I doubt it.

And there USED to be such a list. Not sure when I last saw a copy, though.

I'm mainly a DVD-R kinda guy, but if I need a malloy fix I usually get him from that group. :)

Thanks.

Yes, I am one of those railroad nerds.
