For Your Listening Pleasure

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 1^st 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 1^st 2019 and August 31^st 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.
