I think the podcasts come from iTunes. I suppose it would be easy to
confuse that with OO Tunes.

“Every aspect of Nature reveals a deep mystery and touches our sense of wonder
and awe. Those afraid of the universe as it really is, those who pretend to
nonexistent knowledge and envision a Cosmos centered on human beings will
prefer the fleeting comforts of superstition. They avoid rather than confront
the world. But those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the
Cosmos, even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will
penetrate its deepest mysteries.”

I believe that I was told that OO Tunes provides the podcasts as well as the
stations. The podcasts come from a variety of sources and I don't think that
Humanware gets them from the Apple Store. We'll see.

Miriam, I think you may be writing to the wrong people. OO tunes provides the
radio stations you get on your Stream. The podcasts are provided by something
else, I think maybe the Apple podcast store.

Problem is, given the joys of using modern technology, it's difficult
to know whether what is happening is a result of a technical issue or
whether stuff is being censored. So I do find it rather suspicious
that the Mary Trump and John Bolton books were quickly removed from
BARD shortly after they were put up and the reason given was, well I
don't know what because I'm one of the people who never saw the
removal notification that supposedly everyone saw and had to click OK
on. But it was something to do with missing text. But now there are
two podcasts which are suddenly hard to get. Loud and Clear disappeared for a
week. There are supposed to be 5 daily programs.
It airs on the Sputnik network in DC. Then last week, 3 episodes
appeared on one day. Not good because it's a discussion of daily news.
The episodes for yesterday and today never appeared. Well, everyone in
DC thinks that the Russian government is trying to cause conflict and
discontent in our harmonious peaceful nation. So now, Flashpoints,
which is aired on KPFA didn't appear last night or this morning and
tonight's episode is not downloading now. Neither is today's Loud and
Clear. I've sent an email to OO Tunes asking why, but I'm not holding my breath
until I receive an answer.
Now, if I were like Evan Reese, (who's tried to kill me on the two
lists of which we are both members, and I were comfortable accepting
the political center and the mainstream media consensus on all issues
and I worshipped artificial intelligence, I could happily snuggle in
the warm, comfortable nest that the ruling class has provided for the
consumers of mainstream thought. I was reminded, the other day, that
a book by Neil Postman, was written back in the sixties about the
effects of television on the population called, Entertaining Ourselves To Death.
One big disadvantage to me of being blind is that had I not had a
disability, I would have been free to find, and to be accepted by,
people who think as I do and I could have been more active in working
toward the kind of world in which I believe.
