Well, today I did the Storyteller's Bowl TalkShoe interview show with Diane Duane, Sharon Lee, and Steve Miller. It ended up going just over an hour, and it went very well for the most part. I stuttered and stammered a few times toward the end after I basically ran out of things to say, but there was a lot of good stuff there for fans of the Wizardry and Liaden series. I hope that I can have all three of them back for longer reviews on more general topics in the future.
Checking my stats, so far I see it had 4 participants and 11 streaming listeners, and has had 18 downloads as of the latest time tallied by TalkShoe's meters. (Well, actually, there have been 18 downloads of all episodes of my show since then. I'm going to assume they're all or mostly the latest show, however.)
I also did a two hour, fifteen minute Robotech show, where a bunch of Robotech fans got together and talked about the show. I cut it off at 2h 15m because I didn't want to intimidate people who don't want to download five-hour monsters, especially when there aren't any guests to attract the more casual fans. I'll be honest, it's basically a whole lot of arguing over minutia again: stuff people have heard about Shadow Chronicles and whether General Leonard really was "evil." There's only so much of that I can take at a time, and I'm one of the biggest Robotech fans I know.
Anyway, both shows can be found via my TalkShoe page.

Date: 2006-12-17 05:40 pm (UTC)And while I was at Zoo Lights, or possibly very shortly after our light rail train left the station at 158th and Jenkins Road in Beaverton, the PGE substation at that same intersection experienced a transformer fire. A HUGE one. They were letting it burn out - something that would take about 12-18 hours - so it may still be burning. Power went out for most of the west side while they diverted electricity around the area. And, they were concerned about a 70 thousand gallon tank of mineral oil which was very near the substation. (They use it, I think, to lubricate the light-rail trains, which are electrical.) Apparently, power was out here for a couple hours - the hours during which you were presenting.
So.
I'll download it, definitely. But later.
