The Programs

Every one of our KDX programs has a story. Let me start by telling you about programs that aren't on KDX. In our pre-stream days I checked the web for streaming stations and discovered KPAH, located in Pahrump, Nevada. More than anything else the novel programming on this station convinced me that internet radio was something different and offered a new testament, in a secular manner of speaking.

Now us. I'll do these programs alphabetically rather than chronologically.

Alex Jones Interviews offer brave report and inquiry into today's most important world affairs.

Allan Weiner Worldwide is hosted by the founder, owner and manager of international shortwave station WBCQ, The Planet, dubbed by many the "real" Voice of America, providing talk radio that rides the edge of our society with programming that will challenge the minds of people who want more out of their radio.

Between the Lines is a weekly award-winning public affairs show produced by WPKN in Bridgeport, Connecticut, providing a platform for individuals and spokespersons from progressive organizations generally ignored or marginalized by mainstream media;

Berkeley Groks is a weekly science program produced at KALX in Berkeley, California. Each week the hosts, Dr. Charles Lee and Dr. Frank Ling, take an in depth look at recent events in the world of science and technology. Each episode features an interview with a leading scientist, researcher, or industrialist, discussing work in their field. The show often includes a humorous and entertaining segment. Grok, v. To perceive a subject so deeply that one no longer knows it, but rather understands it on a fundamental level. - Robert heinlein, "Stranger In a Strange Land." Webcast on KDX by direct permission of Drs. Lee and Ling;

Breakfast Conversation marks another original program gobbled together, that is, cobbled together by a couple of KDX regulars, Trek Zabota and Carl Blare, from the nearby Forest Park Cafe, practically within sight of our Internet Building back behind the plant nursery in historic Forest Park, featured in the movie "Meet Me in St. Louis." I mean the park was in the movie. Or some version of it, anyway. KDX and the internet don't come up at all in that picture;

The Concert: Classical Music from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum of Boston - The Gardner is a major art gallery on 3-floors surrounding a garden courtyard, opened 1903. The music is our great inheritance of chamber style classical masterworks. Presented under a license from Creative Commons, The Concert is a priceless gift to culturally starved America;

The Critical Hours - is a term from AM broadcast culture which describes the profound increase in distance reception starting at sunset when the ionospheric layer rises high above the atmosphere producing the sky wave effect. As daylight gives way to dark KDX reverses engine from extroverted talk to introvertive pause as we present music from the depths of the wine cellar;

Free Talk Live- talk radio where you are in control, hosts Ian and Mark with sometimes Julia and other regulars. What's on your mind? Unlike those right-wing or left-liberal extremist shows, FTL is talk radio ANYONE can take control of. FTL is the next generation of issues oriented talk. What is the meaning of freedom? This show is about liberty with a capital L. Because of time difference, KDX airs yesterday's show. If you want to locate a live broadcast check the affiliate's page at the FTL website. From Keane, New Hampshire, webcast on KDX by direct permission of Ian Bernard;

Free Thought Radio produced by the Freedom From Religion Foundation, Annie Laurie Gaylor and Bob Barker, co-presidents and hosts. The FFRF is concerned with separation of church and state, a concept lost on some of the peculiar people in government, despite so many of them being lawyers: they should know, above all, what the concept is about. And FTR serves atheists and agnostics, a large share of the population who've here-to-fore been ignored. The programs include interviews with scholars, authors and performers and are done with loving talent. FTR recently expanded from its Madison, Wisconsin roots and is now heard  nationally on Air America network. Webcast on KDX by direct permission of Annie Laurie Gaylor;

Going Linux is a program for the Linux user. Linux is a free, open-source computer operating system that is stable, secure and flexible. Host Larry Bushey and co-host Tom Chaudoir start from the beginning and take it slowly. Creative Commons Attribution License;

Has Been Hotel a program from the jazz age of 100 years ago made possible by thousands of 78rpm phonograph records entering the public domain. Orchestras and musicians enjoyed several popular circuits for serving the public: radio or motion picture appearances, studio recordings for the neighborhood record stores, riverboat excursions that carried music from New Orleans to St. Louis and hotel engagements which remained popular public nightspots probably until television started keeping people home in the late 40s. The music in those times was tempered by romance and war and stand as perhaps the most uniquely robust period in musical history. The name for this program came to me while taking a shower in the far future on July 23, 2008. This is your concierge, Carl Blare, hoping you visit us in the Public Domain Room here at Has Been Hotel;
