NPR’s newest adventure begins
We have alluded to big travel plans in the past, and our header mentions this “upcoming visit to Serbia and Montenegro“, but I don’t guess we have properly posted to everyone about our plans.
This morning June 1st at 7 AM Jon Brumit and Lee Montgomery of Neighborhood Public Radio will be leaving Oakland and traveling to Novi Sad in Serbia and Montenegro to help the Kuda New Media Center create a Mobile Production Unit for broadcasting radio. We will be in Novi Sad for the month of June and hope to have some simultaneous broadcasts in Novi Sad and the Bay Area while we are there. This project has been made possible by a very generous grant from the CEC Artslink program.
We will also be visiting other parts of Europe in June and July, and we will keep you up to date on the whole thing as it goes.
This will be the last email you get until we arrange for some sort of streaming or Bay Area based broadcast, but it is our hope to have new updates to the site on an almost daily basis while we are traveling. So check back to the site regularly… or use one of the news aggregators we recommended during our Chicago adventure. The next post may be a couple of days from now though, as we get over the Atlantic and through Munich, down to Belgrade and then up to Novi Sad. After all that, we’ll still need to settle in with our hosts at kuda. We’ll try not to stay gone too long, though.
It is worth noting at this point that most of our Chicago interviews are now online, and most of our Indecency series too. We are in the process of integrating MP3 links into our blog entries so the archive can be searched by using the Search box on the main page. You can use the Search box now for the Indecency series and our Version Fest shows. The January 15th birthday celebration should be linked soon. So dig around and listen to shows you may not have heard when they were live. There are more than a few really exciting moments in this expanding archive.
And on that note…. Jon and Lee now wish you a fond farewell, as they look forward to keeping you updated as to their day to day activities in Serbia and Montenegro and beyond.
