Fri, 27 July 2007 Hey folks this should be my last prerecoded podcast before I leave for AZ. This podcast is a lot like my early work. I spend most of my time talking about the personal hell I face in leaving the close proximity of San Francisco and moving back to Phoenix, which tends to be a lot more hostel to my soul. Of course, I make a major point of seeing the positives in this change. My life is in Phoenix for better or worse (though assuming better). So the best course of action is to embrace it as my new home and try to make the best of the experience. I also talk a bit about the challenges of podcasting, the album of songs that I am slowly putting together and my creative and personal dreams. For those of you with a sharp ear you will notice that I am trying something new in this show. I do apologize for the bad edits. I did the best I could. Songs Featured: Here I Go Again by Whitesnake Dani California by The Red Hot Chile Peppers Superman by Lazlo Bane (A Close match to the long Scrubs into edit) Imagine By John Lennon "You may say I am a dreamer but I am not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world can live as one" -John Lennon Imagine 1971 As always you may send me feedback via the email address nicnacjak@gmail.com See everyone on Saturday for The Let's Talk Train Show 5pm-7pm GMT Thanks, Nicolas Comments[0] |

Greeting All, I hate to do this, but, I have an important political issue to mass email about. New royalty rates are threatening to put an end to way I and other internet broadcasters like myself enjoy their hobby. Please call your senator or congressman and urge them to support the Internet Radio Equality Act. so that we as internet broadcasters, and internet radio listeners can continue to enjoy our hobby and exercise our first amendment right to free speech unabated. In most of my broadcasts I am capable of ceasing to use copyrighted material. However, being able to afford to use copyrighted martial as bumper music is a very important option to have, especially when it comes to shows that are in a talk radio formate as is the case with Let's Talk Trains. I have also begun to venture into FM style internet broadcasting which is impossible without the ability to afford to play copyrighted works. As an aspiring recoding artist myself, I understand the work that goes into recording music and think that artists and studio production team members should get properly compensated for the work that they do. However, I do not think that internet radio should be paying third party organizations like the RIAA more in royalties then broadcast radio! Most of internet broadcasting is done by people like me who simply do it as a hobby that they enjoy for little or no pay. I think we have a right to do this. And, I don't think the record companies off all people should be trying to silence us and infringe upon our rights. Thanks for the help, Please visit http://www.savenetradio.org/index.html for more info.

Sun, 8 July 2007 This show ended up being much more personal then expected. Given that the highest rated shows on the podcast have been personal shows like this, though, I suppose that's a good thing. Part 1 00:00-15:16 During the first half of the show I talk about how to get in touch with me during live shows. The toll phone number is (646)-716-7136 and my im id is nicnacjak@hotmail.com. I have not locked down a formal schedule for The NicolasJackson.com Radio Show as of yet, however, I will attempt to make listeners aware of when I schedule live shows. After the formal introduction stuff I move on to the main topic of the day. I start out by explaining that LTT is on hiatus this week in honer of “Deceleration of Independence Day�?. What I failed to mention was that LTT will be live next Saturday from 10am-12pm PDT (6pm-8pm GMT) for the 5th anniversary show. I also note that I called from a listeners place of residence in Phoenix, Arizona last week. The fun of meeting a caller/listener last week was not lost on me. However the energy required to get to Phoenix left me a little worn out and thus deserving of the hiatus (if I do say so myself). I then move on to explain why I was in Phoenix and the challenges involved in realizing that my “life�? is 870 mi or 1400.12 k– about 13 hours 39 mins away. I relate this to the fact that I am currently in transition and refer back to the last time I was in transition (see my podcast episode Growing Up with Transitions. ) Despite everything being what it is, I make sure to acknowledge that life isn't all bad while in transition. And, even when my reaction to a transition has been less than desired, it has still resulted in positive things like my association with The Let's Talk Train Show, my interest in Internet broadcasting and my interest in game development and journalism. Break: Just seek forward I currently do
not have the ability to edit this audio Part 2 I start off the second half of the show referring back to my love of broadcasting (even terrestrial thanks to Jim Howell and KZFR), game development and game journalism. I also share my philosophy on experience: it maybe painful but its the only way to learn. I then move on to explaining how Whitesnake's Here I Go Again represents where I am in life right now. I also refer to the journey that I've gone through over the past few months that can be represented by Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams and as I've come out on the positive side of the transition Whitesnake's Here I Go Again. I go on to acknowledge that this show has been more personal in nature than my more recent podcasts. However, this type of show seems to be much more consistent with what my core audience enjoys so I will continue to produce episodes of this nature so long as I get positive feedback about them. I also bring up the concept of privatization and keeping my public life separate on some level from my privet one. I end the show by talking about the field of Internet broadcasting and my desire to bring other netcasters onto the show to ban together and talk about the nature of the medium. I also make a point of reminding people that small shows like NicolasJackson.com Radio, The NicolasJackson.com Podcast and The Let's Talk Train Show (to a lesser extent) are not run for profit. They are run because putting the shows together is enjoyable and as entertainers we take pleasure in entertaining others. If we choose to add polish to our broadcasts by playing copyrighted music we should be charged a fee. However this fee should be in line with our production motivations.
