Well I say live and let live, the people who love me can have a softer landing place. I talked to her about some of those remarks and she is cool now. I think it hurts her that I mostly post here so I will try and post every now and then over there as well. To survive here requires a thicker skin. Just the way it is.

By the way I am sure many of you know that Bell Gab will be a Forum for the show, as people come in try not to slit their throats to quickly.

We are making real progress with all our technical issues, it's really amazing how close we are getting. This whole project is going to be real fun. A lot of things had to happen to make Midnight in the Desert a reality.

I will sure be depending on all of you who have a proven track record of, how should I put this...flooding information to a target! Getting the word out will be very important.

People are funny, they either love or hate something like Mel's hole, But they sure do remember it a Decade later. The good ones evoke strong emotions of one kind or another. One thing for sure, you only get that sort of thing in open lines because it would never make it past a Producer or for that matter a call screener. Not everything has to make it past the cold reality test, what fun would that be? If that is what you want try PBS.

For what it's worth I have cameras all over the place, pan/tilt at that. I believe in Security and the hardware to back it up.

I really love the fact that I will have two Skype connections to the board. To many times the U.S and Canada keep it so busy that the rest of the World has a tough time getting through.

I may do a night of pure open lines just to test everything out before the first official show.

We should expect more Davebots, they are just starting to figure out that this really is going to happen and panic is setting in, no worries they are so easy to spot and I never ever let that crap bother me, if I did I couldn't do the job. I am sure I will do things that some of you real people will not like, I can take the hits, no problem.

If they made an exception for you to stream then they would have had to allow others across the platform to stream as well if requested, which is not a good idea if your entire purpose as a company is provide exclusive content that people pay for.  I am not a fan of XM at all because they are a terrible company but I can understand their position in this matter.

Has the reasoning been discussed as to why XM was chosen over regular radio in 2013?

Yes I understand they want exclusive content although they carry several shows that are NOT exclusive. The fact is that if their streaming worked I would still be there but if you want $180 bucks a Year it should work. I got tired of all the complaints of constantly being cut off again and again and if you read reviews today of their streaming app they speak for themselves.

I think there XM signal is great, Sirius not so much. They are a valuable way to get to people in vehicles but in the streaming World they really need work. I simply asked for free streaming until they could fix theirs. I am far from the only one effected, check out comments from other talk hosts.

All that said the people I was dealing with were very nice, they just were unable to fix it.

Art needs new guests...period! Can't always go back 100% to the old wrecking crew...blend them in with the new!

Exactly right, I am wanting new Guests, now of course that does not mean some of the old regulars will not be back because they will but the marching orders for my new Producer are new blood.

I had already started moving that way while on XM but it ended to soon. To this very day I do not understand why they did not allow me to stream until they fixed their streaming but as of today I guess they are still not working well. I think there was influence from elsewhere.

It seems like broadcasting on SW also allows a workaround to the online streaming listener limit.  If the streaming hits that cutoff (I disremember how many thousands that number was), new listeners can go to shortwave--either via a web SDR or over the air.

I don't know if that has anything to do with the decision, but either way it's pretty nifty.

I agree the Shortwave will be fun I am not sure how many will listen there. Bob Crane is going to sponsor it for 6 Weeks and it will have to pay the electric bill. In fact the shows survival will depend on people supporting it by buying the Podcast or donations, we are really rolling the dice by putting on a live streaming show. Both Keith and me have some skin in this game. We had a big player but decided we wanted to be our own masters.

Haha, I just read a review, really many reviews of the Sirius/XM streaming app and my goodness it has gone down hill, I have never seen worse reviews. That is why we parted company.

Would you be willing to do like a studio/mini compound tour. I'm mainly interested in how you have your solar panels set up and all that

Pictures will be coming. As far as tours, well not right now. We are really busy building and trying to find the right cables, jeez what a fight. Xlr to rca, xlr to xlr, xlr to quarter inch and on and on.

Hi all, we have been working in the Studio so not much time for getting on the board. I want to thank
Whoever did the video, it's fine its a public street, it is just one of those things that go along with being a Public person. However the property is posted and as was pointed out we are more then well armed.

I saw the Dave singing video and, no comment.
