@bonez_brigade I have no control over encoding (well I do and I don’t) 128 is what our online feed streams at.

As I said in my blog, after over 12 hours of editing and a ton of other issues (let me tell you technology has not been my friend this weekend) I wasn’t going to change the rate or volume levels.

And you are most welcome

Assumption incorrect. It's encoded at 128k and is 98m:23s long (and loud). FWIW, 64-96k encoding works fine for voice interviews and will really chop down the file size; and tools like MP3Gain are useful for knocking down (or jacking up) the volume. Thanks, Jules, for the goods, nonetheless. I'm off to give it a listen...

Downloading now…
As it’s 90MB (!), I’m assuming it’s either encoded at 320k, or the interview is 5 hours long.

I feel like such a spammer today. Yet another update. It appears our server is back up. However, due to these multiple tech failures over the weekend, I am going to keep the new link up over night just in case the server gets all hinky again.

If you notice the extra link is gone, no worries, you can listen the tradition way. This also means that the “other blogger” interview is also available once again.

*edit* and just as quickly it goes back down. I think I am going to stop with the updates because it is really looking pointless.

So frustrating as this is completely out of my hands at the moment.

HOPEFULLY FINAL UPDATE:

Please recheck my blog. I have a temporary link that you can listen to the show at until our main servers are back online.

Thank you all.

UPDATE:

Finally heard back from our server host. Someone hacked into another server in the data center, so as a precaution, they shut down all servers.

So that means the station could be down for at least 48 hours until they fix this issue and check each server 1 by 1 to see who was penetrated.

In the meantime, I am currently uploading Phil’s interview to a free temp online storage site thing and later on tonight I will do the same for the “other blogger’s” interview for those that may be interested.

My first priority is getting Phil’s listen ready once more as many of you are being so wonderfully patient and I thank you for this.

As soon as I have the file hosted again and have changed the relevant links, I will update once more and hopefully this tech failure (I am so going to over-exaggerate here cause I am so frustrated) #1 billion will be the last one.

Will update again hopefully shortly.
