The BBC was here at 'Letter to America' Central and documented the recording of Chapter 20. I've worked with a lot of different crews over the years and sometimes they can be real hard-cases but these guys were nice and easy-going and seemed like all-around good folks. That's producer Ruth standing on the left and presenter Joe Lindsay who you hear in Chapter 20 sitting down in the last photo. If you'd like to see Joe in a more expansive mood click here.
Any word on when this interview is gonna be aired? I'm looking forward to putting a face with the LTA Chpt.20 ranter.

Hey there 'WOA' - probably next week some time - I'll let you know when I find out.

Is the BBC going to allow you to host the video, so us Americans can watch it?

i'll tape it off the TV put it on the server -

That'll be cool. Have you found an alternative server to use? (cheap or free)

No - I looked into Lipsyn - but they seem to be a 'Podcasting Solution' meaning I didn't see a way where I could just use my own FTP apps/Podcasting Application to publish to their severs - maybe there is a way I didn't look into it too closely - if you have suggestions that'd be great cause I really can't go another month like this - it's startin' to add up!

Have a look at www.ourmedia.org which is still free with no download limits. Files over 20MB seem to require use of their uploader (Mac version available). Might be worth a look - and worth the effort to cut your spiralling costs.
Maybe if you limited your audience for a while - say "Letter to Sacramento" - it would to reduce your bills!

thanks Alan for the suggestion - i'm gonna need to find a techie guy to help with this - re: finding an easy way to migrate subscribers to the new server, (long time listeners will know i was puttin' my hopes on 'genius boy' to help out but i know he's busy) - anyhew i'm gonna have to recruit somebody to help out with this -
