w:st="on">School</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceType

extend apologies to frustrated listeners for the problems we've had with the
radio broadcast the past two weeks.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>On 2/1 we broadcast a wonderful interview with social psychologist and
anarchist Dennis Fox, but there were problems with sound levels, and
transmission problems, which turned out to be due to an unexpected bandwidth
problem with our internet service provider.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then, on 2/2, OBR's two primary tech
experts were BOTH home sick.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>FSU's
producer, Kathryn ran into some problems getting the broadcast connection up and
running.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>She struggled with them
heroically, and finally got us on the air - then we discovered that our guest,
Grace Ross, had been trying to contact us to say that she was sick, and couldn't
come in.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We could have rebroadcast
Dennis's interview, at that point, but without the tech people, we couldn't
figure out how to do it, so we sadly cancelled the show for that
evening.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Our first two shows went off
without hitches, and we're hoping our run of bad luck is over.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We're also taking steps to be better
prepared for these types of unforeseen events.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In the meantime, we ask your
forbearance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is an Occupation,
and we are volunteers learning as we go along.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We think we have some great programming
lined up, and we are determined to get it out to you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Grace Ross has rescheduled (for 2/22),
and we will rebroadcast Dennis Fox's interview at some point, so that those who
missed part of it will get another chance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We also have new shows coming up on Women and Poverty with Randy Albelda
of U. Mass Boston (3/7 – the day before International Women’s Day), and on
Marxism with Prof. Gordon Fellman of Brandeis Universith (3/14).<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We hope you’ll be with us!</P>
