Like an abusive boyfriend, we're just going to say we're sorry, baby. It won't happen again.<br /><br />Secondly, we're applying for an <a href="http://www.mq2.org">MQ2.0 grant</a>. The "Maker's Quest" grant is funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and is for independent public radio producers to find ways to bridge the gap between broadcast and new media. So if I manage to get one of these highly sought-after grants, I'd need to have some solid, innovative ideas on how to do that. "New Media" can mean social networking sites, content for mobile phones, blogs, really anythnig beyond the public airwaves. I've already got an IPR presence on the web, facebook, myspace, , etc., but I'm looking for ideas to take it beyond that. Something that keeps true to the gist of the project (a public radio parody) but beyond just people clicking on a link to listen on the web. Perhaps solicit animators to do animated shorts of brief segments of IPR? Some kind of an online treasure hunt in which the clues are taken from past IPR podcast episodes? <br /><br />All ideas are welcome. These are somehwat new waters for me. Thanks as always for your support. I started this damn project 10 years ago, and it's spent more time on the shelf than off, but I'm working to change that. At some point, I'm going to use that shelf for kindling.<br /><br />Joe<br /><blockquote></blockquote>IPR : Irrational Public Radiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15099203694813105701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741407625377683344.post-2763413096306825812008-09-03T10:48:00.000-07:002008-09-07T17:31:42.754-07:00MIHTASINTBATCMKBack after a too-long absence, we have a new podcast episode;<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://irrationalpublicradio.com/episodeguide.html"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204); font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;" >Episode 12</span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" ><br />May I Have The Aisle Seat?

We've partnered with law enforcement officials in all 47 states to raise awareness of masonic fraud targeted at the elderly of all ages. For each pound of human hair our listeners send in, the Freudenberg Cooperative will build a small mobile prison to house an individual guilty of that fraud. The prison will be made of sturdy dark green plastic and will tour the perpetrator's neighborhood with a powerful speaker standing on the roof poetically espousing the virtues of honest living and strong bones. Please, scour your hairbrushes. They're filthy.</p>IPR : Irrational Public Radiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15099203694813105701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741407625377683344.post-16342796327137518682008-01-15T06:59:00.000-08:002008-01-15T07:09:02.057-08:00IPR's Completely Unauthorized "Special" Episode of Car Talk<p>Irrational Public Radio is proud to release this newly discovered, utterly unauthorized and unendorsed special <a href="http://www.irrationalpublicradio.com/pect.html">secret episode </a>of the NPR favorite<em> Car Talk</em>. </p><br /><p><a href="http://www.irrationalpublicradio.com/pect.html"><img src="http://www.tpr.org/images/cartalk_logo.gif" /></a></p><br /><p>Our premiere CD <em><a href="http://www.irrationalpublicradio.com/albums.html">Good Morning.

Any RSS-savvy people out there want to check out my feed source code and give me some clues as to why this is? If you can solve it, I'll put your name in the next episode.<br /> <br />Also, I'm walking in <strong><span style="font-family:arial;color:#ff0000;">AIDS Walk Los Angeles</span></strong> in October, and I'd love your support. It is, if this needs to be said, a very worthy cause.
