Welcome to the Martian Gardens blog
This is the new weblog for my radio program "Martian Gardens." I am currently on 91.1 FM WMUA at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, on Sunday nights 10:00--12:00 ET. Some of you might remember I was on 9:00--12:00 for a decade until a glitch in programming this semester. We are hoping to return to the three-hour time slot in May, 2008
Those familiar may also remember I had a weblog for five years with a service that will go unnamed here. I have parted ways with that service because they "changed tools" without telling me and destroyed five years worth of playlists and notes. Always back your work up, folks! I just learned the hard way! All data irretrievable! Helplessness is such a lurid sensation!
Well, up we get and on we go.
Live webcasting is still at:
