Portland Transport Now Hosting KBOO Bike Show Podcast and Archive
A few weeks ago I posted a bit of rant about the fact that our competitor for Platinum biking status - Davis, CA - podcasted their bike talk show, while the Portland equivalent, on KBOO, disappeared into the ether after the monthly broadcast.
Well, no more! KBOO Bike Show hosts Ayleen Crotty and Sara Stout agreed to enter into a collaboration with Portland Transport and I'm delighted to announce that we are now hosting their archive site and podcast. The archive site is at
http://bikeshow.portlandtransport.com/
and the podcast RSS feed is at
http://feeds.portlandtransport.com/BikeShowPodcast.
We hope to have Wednesday's show up on the site a few hours after airtime. Set up your favorite podcatcher application now! The podcast has also been submitted to a number of directories, including iTunes.
The three most recent shows are already up on the archive, along with some older favorites. We'll be filling out the archive over the next few months, and plan to ultimately have the entire catalog of shows available, perhaps supplemented by some material that has never made it onto the air.
Thank you Ayleen and Sara!

Cool Chris...I'm going to download them to the Ipod and listen to them on my roller ride this morning! Thanks for making this happen.

I'm so glad about this! I've always wanted to become a regular listener, but the workday timing just didn't work for me. I'm excited to give this a listen! Thanks especially to Ayleen and Sara for letting their content get to more listeners, and to Chris for the inspiration and technical heavy lifting.

Chris, will you be adding more shows to the archives? I noticed none of the links to the MP3s work on Ayleen's site. She's got an impressive list of shows that would be great to hear.
Thanks!

Oh Jonathan, you're just a couple minutes too early! Links are being repaired as I type this. KBOO Bike Show Site: http://www.YeaBikes.net/radio
Chris - thanks for setting this up. Sara and I are excited to finally be able to bring our show to a broader audience. Back in 2002, after not quite a year of being on the air, we were invited to double our program time and the response from listeners has been amazing. Podcasting is yet another great expansion of the show.

Jonathan, yes, we hope to get all the archives up on the site. It will take few months to process and upload them all.
