On
Monday April 15 2011
we launched our podcasting service, hosted by Pod-O-Matic. This service,
along with our YouTube channel and our many posts on the Internet
Archive provide music lovers with access to both original and curated
content that we feature on this blog (as well as our French language blog) and
our enduring presence in TalkClassical, MQCD-Musique-Classique
and OperaLively.
Starting
on September 1st 2019, we will recast our podcasting service under a new name and a renewed
commitment to providing our content to Music Lovers. Pod-O-Matic continues to
be our content distributor and host – that will not change, as we have been
very satisfied with that partnership over the years.
The main
changes to our podcasting approach are the following:
- We will now issue a daily podcast. As I will elaborate as we get closer to
our “launch date”, Part 4 of Project 366 entails “One podcast a
day, every day” of the 366 days between September 1st 2019 and
August 31st 2020.
- Under this new format, we will re-issue old montages as well as
some of our past Curated content from our Forum series Vinyl’s Revenge,
Once Upon the Internet, Cover 2 Cover and Once or Twice a
Fortnight. To do so, these playlists will be converted to Pod-O-Matric
friendly “single track” media in the same vein as our Friday montages.
- Because Project 366 and the ITYWLTMT Podcast are currently managed
separately, for the coming year we will issue Friday montages (and
quarterly Tuesday montages) as we have done so far in addition to
the daily podcasts. As a result the Friday Blog and Podcast will
sometimes feature “Podcast Vault” selections as well as new content. (It
is my intention to remedy the situation after we are done with Project
366, so stay tuned)
- For
the time being, we will continue using the YouTube channel and
public domain sites as the main purveyor of our curated content. This
situation may change in the future.
As we
retool over the coming weeks, my intent is to maintain as much of the content
currently active on the channel as I can, keeping in mind I will start
pre-positioning some media for the launch. Our policy will continue to be that
of archiving all our content to our Internet Archive if it stops being
available on the channel. I’ll need to come up with a set of guidelines to keep
original content up as long as possible to make sure it gets sampled by
everybody.
In the
meantime, if anything changes with access to content, I will make sure to post
updates on this and my other platforms.
