I sometimes need to take audio clips from YouTube things…on iOS devices. So… I assembled a thing [bitbucket.org] to do exactly that.
@matigo our show (RadioNet) was actually streamed on RealMedia at one point. Sadly, by the time I got involved, we weren’t doing that. I investigated a couple of other “compressed” audio formats of the time, as I didn’t get awareness of MP3 until the Napster days.

The storms that came from Helene definitely caused some damage in the Southern US. Luckily, nothing that close to me.
The lack of response by the federal government to the devastation is…quite telling. And people think this bunch will “fix everything.” Riiiight.
