For everyone who listened live - sorry the beginning was a bit fuddled (my fault), and I got word that the mics were a bit too loud, I just got some new audio equipment this week and am still learning about it. But much less swearing this week (pat myself on the back).

Hope everyone enjoyed it!!

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions after the first show. A few of you had trouble connecting to a Windows Media feed, and others wanted a higher quality stream. So I’ve added both starting this week…

Radio Free Finland is offering four seperate live feeds. A high quality (64kbps) and low quality (32kbps) Windows Media stream and a high quality (64kbps) and low quality (24 kbps) mp3 stream. So all you Winamp, iTunes, and Linux users can listen live via the mp3 stream. Dial-up users can still listen live with the low quality stream, but broadband users can enjoy a much higher quality broadcast.

The previous show’s archives will remain in the versatile mp3 format, but we’ll include a high quality (64kbps) download in addition to our existing low quality (32kbps) format. I’ll add a seperate RSS feed for both format.

If you don’t care whether you listen to Windows Media or mp3 formats for the live show - I recommend you stay with the Windows Media format - It’s actually a slightly better quality stream.

This Sunday marks the fourth anniversary of the September 11th attacks. We’ll be having Toby Archer on the show to discuss terrorism, WMDs, NATO, Finnish security policy, and more. Toby is a researcher at the Finnish Institutue of International Affairs. Available on are two of his recent reports, “International Terrorism and Finland” and “‘WMD’ Terrorism - How Scared Should We Be?”
