Though I was sort of experimenting with a more diaristic style, I’ve been having mixed feelings about the amount of talk in this latest podcast, so have done a remix of sorts. (I know this might be considered sacrilege in certain quarters, but I don’t necessarily subscribe to some of the hard and fast rules people have imposed on podcasting as a practice. As far as I’m concerned podcasting describes a method of distribution–it’s not a prescription for content. I feel a rant coming on . . . .). The full-length version is still available if you don’t mind hearing me babble on ad infinitum.

We’re now listed on Podcast Alley, one of the most popular podcast directories, so please check in there and leave comments (preferably positive ones–though I’m never one to censor) and by all means–vote for us.

As promised, I’ve started this page where I’ll be compiling information on podcasting. It’s a work in progress, with only two articles listed at the moment, so keep checking in.

We’d love to hear what you think of Caribbean Free Radio.

Do feel free to send feedback either by making a comment (link below each post) or emailing us at caribbeanfreeradio@gmail.com. Audio comments welcome too–though please keep these below 5MB and decent audio quality is always nice.

For those new to podcasting, syndicated feeds etc, we’ll also be posting some more information about this soon.

Thanks!

We’re almost there. I’ve done a rough edit of the first podcast and now only await the magical input of my trusty editor, the Ool. Have also created a Station ID, which may or may not change. It’s rough and simple, but I think it suits what we’re trying to do here (about which, more later). Please also note that the Station ID was produced with the kind participation of Pretzel, the dog from next door, and the coqui frogs of Blue Range.
