Now I've got my sound card sorted out I can now present this in STEREO! (Albeit very hard-limited and compressed, as it originated on Hi-MD recorder using Automatic Level Control).

This is me 'interviewing' Deborah Wilson, Senior Lecturer in Journalism at University of Lincoln - and sometimes Broadcast Journalist at Radio Lincoln - as we took some refreshment near the end of BEA 06. We're on the 'roof' of Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, which is part of the famous Flamingo Hotel complex on Las Vegas Boulevard - 'The Strip'. It's Friday night. It's Las Vegas. We're at 'an iconic entertainment venue'. So what do we do?  We talk about education, journalism, conferences -and, alright, to begin with, just a bit about Mr B. and his marvellous tonics!

One for transport anoraks and lovers of 'real' life...some actuality recorded on board the Las Vegas Monorail, between the Convention Center and Las Vegas Boulevard ('The Strip').

Over the noise  of the entertaining PA system, you can hear me musing over the correct floor level for the action at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville; Brian mishearing me - thinking I had talked about 'nude girls', and Deborah believing she heard mention of a 'porn shop'.  Calm down dears, it's only Las Vegas!! Also, lots of hilarity about promoting Barry Manilow's show at the Las Vegas Hilton, and 'Menopause-The Musical' .

The journey has been edited slightly for artistic reasons - it takes a little longer than 4.5 minutes!

Picture is one I took over one of the more 'tastefully' decorated Monorails passing near the Convetion Center, with Wynn's monstrosity of a hotel in the back-ground

This is the audio from the presentation of my paper at this year's Broadcast Education Association's (BEA) Festival at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The title of my paper was 'Access All Agonies' and considers the impact of the 'streaming' of local radio stations to an international audience.
