We have updated the audio section of mediamouse.org and have committed to providing regular audio coverage of events and lectures in Grand Rapids, Michigan and the surrounding area as well as producing exclusive web-based interviews. In addition to improving the handling of audio files already hosted by Media Mouse, we have added a number of new items including a series of lectures from the Wake Up Weekend animal rights event at Calvin last week (1, 2, 3, 4), a forum from the National Conference on Media Reform discussing the media, impeachment, and the antiwar movement, and a short lecture by civil rights activist Mabel Williams.
For most events that we record, we will continue to write articles, but the audio provides another way of sharing information that is ignored in the corporate media. The audio is available both on the website and as a podcast. The podcast makes it easy to have new MP3s downloaded automatically using iTunes or similar programs.
