DearMYRTLE,
Wow! I just got a chance to listen to your broadcast (Wednesday evening) and
I am really impressed. I loved your selection of guests and learned some new
things. Thank-you so much for the effort you put into this.
PS - After all the agonizing about getting set up
so I could tune in, everything went perfectly. What was I so stressed about???

DearMYRTLE,
Great show. It was easy to click and begin listening. Thank-you also for
your informative columns.

DearMYRTLE,
I figured out how to click the "pause" button on your pre-recorded radio
show, so I could go to the websites you were talking about. I clicked around as
you guided us through the online catalog of the Family History Library. Keep up
the good work.

DearMYRTLE,
Neat idea, I didn't know that I could press "enter" instead of clicking the
"go" button on my web browser after typing in a web address. I am going to
listen every week.

DearMYRTLE,
Yawning on the "air?" Yes you are human, Myrt, but that makes it so much
easier to learn from you. I notice there is an occasional "lisping" sound with
your letter "s" but I think that is a matter of recording in lower quality. Can
you work on this?
NOTE FROM MYRT: Yes, Jerry, you are correct.
The original recorded interviews were done at 128kps and sound marvelous, but
they take up 100mb of file space. We've crunched the 1 hour show's file quality
down to 24kps, so the file is only 10MB. This facilitates uploading the file,
and saves hard drive space for those listeners who wish to receive the file as a
podcast.
As you have noted, the trade off with the smaller
file is that we must endure a slightly lower quality. I've gone through 12
different microphones, ranging from $12 to $200 each. Believe it or not, one of
the less expensive microphones picks up the telephone interviews best.

DearMYRTLE,
I love the new way to listen to your show since I can listen anytime. I
don't have to worry about the time difference between your radio studio and my
home. When you used to broadcast only at 9pm in the US, it was 11am in
Melbourne... smack in the middle of my workday. I couldn't always take lunch
early to try to listen in. [...] Tonight I listened to the show in the
background for the second time while working through my email.
