Jim Shooter Defiant/Broadway radio interview

[Todd Luck]

They just did a great radio interview with Jim Shooter covering his post-Valiant days. Here's the link, scroll down and click on the link for their October 11th show:

They also had Shooter on two times in September for shorter interviews: one dealing with his Legion and Marvel days, and another dealing with Valiant (both shows are also on the same page).

The coolest thing is we might be seeing some new writing from Shooter on the internet in the near future ;D.

Hey, Todd. Thanks for sharing this. I usually listen to archived shows when I get a chance, but I haven't for about a month or so, and I didn't even know Shooter was going to be a guest. I'll have to check them out.

I won't listen to a stream on dialup unless I can record it, Windows Media Player 9 blocked me from recording it. I'll crank up my old Windows 95 machine this weekend. If WMP 7.1 won't let me record it, I'll never listen to it. I heard some of the Breyfogle interview while trying to record it. It was horrid. Why get one artist on the show just to ask him questions about another artists work?

OOOOOkay!
The cards fell right. I recorded segment 3 tonight.
I used this free software:
www.freecorder.com/

It's lousy software but it got the minimum results I'd accept.

A few tips for setup...
1) In the settings, make sure the line is set at "Stereo Mixer"
2) After you've downloaded the software, kill the ad at the bottom of the player. Search your computer for a file titled 'hosts". It should have no suffix. Mine is here:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
Open it with Notepad. It'll read like this:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost


Add this line below the last one:
127.0.0.1 www.freecorder.com


Save it (without a suffix). That will kill the ads from reloading while you are recording. I was getting pissed off because it was reloading the ads and clicking as it was recording. The ad reloads could be heard in the recording. I can't believe a moron would write crap like that.

Once I record the others, I'll probably go download Audacity or something and edit all the ads out.

If you ever want to visit the site after recording, you'll have to edit the hosts file again and remove that line you added.

The hosts file is a file that tells your system you are hosting that domain. Since you aren't hosting it, the ads will load as a dead link and you won't get the constant reloads.
