Spotlight
Flocking Together:
Smitten Mittens, Ladio, and Other Producer Groups
by Neenah Ellis
Safe in our electronic bunker/offices, we write, edit, mix, research, and interview, but all this independence and do-it-yourself can make a girl lonely. Producer Neenah Ellis examines some of the ways independents are breaking down the walls of our cozy virtual worlds.

The Third Coast Festival has launched its 2008 public audio challenge, and are we ever glad. This year, the call is for stories - 2:30 to 3:00 minutes
long - that are inspired by two of five books chosen from the Prelinger Library and that include the voice of a stranger. Four of the submissions will
be chosen for the TCF ShortDocs, and the winners will score a free trip to Chicago for the 2008 conference. Get more details
here!

My Source is a CPB initiative intended to strengthen community engagement of public radio and TV stations. DEI is running a contest seeking best local

Cool Tools: Express Scribe
This great timesaver, Express Scribe is a free software program that's both Mac and PC friendly. Express Scribe allows you - during playback - to start, stop, slow down, rewind five seconds, and any number of other options, all from within Microsoft Word. Two caveats: 1) you must play your audio files from your computer (sorry to all you MiniDisc lovers out there). And 2) some on the AIRdaily have noted kinks in loading audio files. Give it a test-whirl before fully embracing. - Erin Mishkin
