Maybe this will be the year I can call and not sound like a total tool.

One can dream, can't one?

That's, lesse. 10AM-1PM on Sunday the 25th here.

I might have a film gig that day

I don't know what time it would be, though - it'd be nice if I could call from my apartment and Skype it, otherwise I'll have to kill my keitai bill for this month :/

WHOA. I work at WBRS as a DJ (on the program World Tour Asia, no less). How did I not know about this?

Craziness. Well, I'll definitely try and catch the show.

Aha! I shall be able to achieve my AB resolution!

[quote]My Anime Boston Resolutions are...
'... 4. To call into the Anime Boston radio with a pointless and amusing question (If they do the radio thing again), just because I can. ...'
~Amjam[/quote]

I will give the question much thought, however... It may actually turn out to be a serious one.
I can't wait!!!

I don't think I can tune it that radio station here in Walpole.

And I have no idea how to hear the webcast version.

Webcast information:

2 webcast streams will go live around 8pm on the 24th:

Stream 1 (capacity for 25 listeners)
Stream 2 (capacity for 40 listeners)
Stream 3 (wbrs.org station stream - lower quality/dialup)

If you click the above links and they do not work, it's probably just your browser isn't recognizing it as a valid webcast source. Open iTunes, Winamp or RealPlayer separately, and then press CTRL+U or CTRL+L or CTRL+O (depending on the player software) to open an "Open Stream" box. Copy-n-paste one of the webcast URLs -below- and hit enter. It should buffer for a few seconds and then play.

http://stream1.animeboston.com:8001/stream
http://stream2.animeboston.com:8001/stream

and if none of those work, try last:
http://wbrsbarixin.campusctr.brandeis.edu/wbrs - note limited capacity.

I saw this thread again, looked at the clock, it read "12:05, March 24th" I freaked out, was like I missed it, I missed it! then I realized - the 24th just started. :/ I think I need to sleep now, so I can remember again tomorrow.

Ummmm... Nick?
I's 4 hours until the streams go live, and there still is not any call-in information.

I'm supposed to call in tonight. It would be REALLY great if I could have that info., and also if I could be told a time when I should call.

(Also, information on how to log into the AOL webchat would be helpful as well. Thanks.)

The AIM ScreenName to ask AB-related questions is 'wbrsfm' & the studio phone line is 781.736.5277

Pat had actually emailed that stuff to me ahead of time last year... I used to have the # stored in my phone, but I must have deleted it. Thanks.

dokool · Post by **dokool** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 9:00 pm

What song's playing now? It's something from the FFX soundtrack, right?

Lt. Fork · Post by **Lt. Fork** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 9:04 pm

It still isn't working for me. No broadcast feeding on the website... D;

LadyHawke · Post by **LadyHawke** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 9:06 pm

The dialup feed (Live365) is not working. The other two are.

Which kind of sucks because I still don't have my DSL installed in here, so I have to listed to my stream being "re-buffered" every 5 seconds. :/

This song sounds quite familiar but I cannot remember what it's from.

They were playing "Keseni Tsumi" when I first logged on...

moonlight sonata. · Post by **moonlight sonata.** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 9:08 pm

that buffering happening to me too xP I'm on the first stream

marikotoeii · Post by **marikotoeii** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 9:09 pm

[/quote]

I think they occasionally mix in a song or two. They seem to be running late

Will a recording/mp3 of the whole radio broadcast be available afterwards? Or at least in 1-hour segments?

YouTube · Post by **basharoftheages** » Sat Mar 24, 2007 11:18 pm

They've had them in the past... usually several months later as a "special thing."

thanks again for the international call. How often are you in Japan?

Post by **binary** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 1:57 am

Thanks everyone for listening in and posting questions. Hopefully it was informative for everyone. I will post the webcast of the show soon*. If anyone wants I can go back and post song titles of the music that was played - although it will not be in the podcast due to legalities.

*Hopefully by next weekend.

I live here now, so 24/7 (except for AB weekend, of course)

Amjam · Post by **Amjam** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 12:08 pm

Unfortunately, I missed the whole thing >>; (I'll catch the podcast later) but I still managed to call in. I /swear/ I'm usually more hyper than that. It was late. And I didn't even mention the fact that I love Chrono Crusade more than life itself, so you know I was too tired to think straight. ~.~

Anyway, I double-checked just in case anyone was wondering: David Williams is blue and Matt Greenfield is red.

I also have a cat named Takato, a dog named Nelly, and a rubber lizard named Tiffany Grant. :3

redneckotaku · Post by **redneckotaku** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 12:09 pm

I missed the second half of the radio show. They mentioned in the first half that they may announce a new guest. Did they announce the guest on the show?

Yes, her name escapes me but she's Greg Ayre's co-star in Beck.
