I'm a fan
This
great station has been going through a lot of changes of late. I wanted
an up-to-date schedule with hyperlinks to producers sites and show descriptions
all in one place. No one else was doing it, so I took on the project,
wanting to give a bit back to the producers and listener-suporters of
this station, for all they've given everyone over the years.
What is it?
BAI subscribers used to get a printed show schedule/magazine
called the folio. It was like a lefty TV guide. This stopped several
years ago. I guess you can call this my attempt at an online folio,
though I suspect that the term "folio" should be reserved
for the station's own if they ever gets around to doing it themselves.
I'm packing
as much info as I can on this page, while hopefully keeping it clear,
easy to use, and not too bloated to load quickly. I do listen to BAI
a lot, but I know nothing about some of these shows, and I am
depending on info in websites that may be way out of date or inaccurate.
Clue me in where you see lapses. I took the official WBAI schedule as
listed here
on wbai.org, and the links as listed here in deoxy.org/wbai/
as a start. Then I did a lot of Google
advanced searches etc. and made this grid. I'm also listening for
those rare on-air cross-promos and taking info from them whenever I
can. Spelling help is welcome on the names of new folks who are not
yet listed on the official WBAI
staff page
Send Me your info
Any producers who have sites, email addresses or succinct show descriptions
that you would like linked here, just let me know. (You can even link
to sites selling your books, tapes of whatever) Anyone with useful information
is welcome to send it to me. I've sent emails to all the shows that
I've linked to, asking for feedback, show info and links, only a few
have responded. If If any fan has some short, sweet way of describing
a favorite show that I've yet to describe, let me know. gametone@wrybread.com
People who have helped
Armand
DiMele has helped spread the word about this page. Mike
Levine and Mya Shone have given welcome feedback. And other's such
as R
Paul Martin and Ken
Gale have suggested links. Pamela
Somers has been very helpful with her suggestions on web design
accessibility. Moderator Gil over at the Goodlight
board has also given some very helpful advice. The first producer
to give me a linkback was Gary
Null. Thanks to Alice his webmaster. Eco-Logic
and Back of the Book have just
done the same. Also thanks to co-moderators on
goodlight.net/wbai: Frank
Fitzgerald and Michael Leipsner (Michael recently sent me his extensive
collection of WBAI links and email addresses)
Controversies
As you may be able to tell from my Pacifica/WBAI
links section, I'm in favor of all sides in the station controversies
having their say, in the hope of long term health for WBAI/Pacifica.
I love this station, but I am in no way affiliated with it, or with
any particular faction in the controversies.
Huh?
Gametone is pronounced gamma
tone, and it's wry bread not
rye bread. Visit my weblog.
