Introducing the Make: Talk radio show
For this first show, Friday March 6, 2009, they’ll be discussing Volume 17, the Lost Knowledge issue, of MAKE. I will be the guest, along with Jake von Slatt, the cover gentleman for the issue and creator of the wonderful Wimshurst project featured in 17. We’ll be talking about steampunk, and other lost, retro, antique technologies, and whatever else springs to mind.

Wes suggested that we look at Raidió Rí-Rá. The site
has some Irish text with sound files of it being read aloud by native speakers.
The plan to have our March 16 class at Merlins Rest is still
on. Wes and Mary are thinking about some exercise involving numbers. Open Mic there starts at 8PM.
This could be either a challenge or an opportunity :-)>
