Reeling In The Webcast

As part of my attempts to Scale Back and Sharpen Up, I’ve pulled the plug on DIY Endeavors Radio, the streaming webcast that served as a kind of super-set of my DIY Endeavors Podcast.

It simply wasn’t worth continuing to pay for and maintain a webcast station that never had more than two listeners at any one time, and often went days and days with no listeners at all. So, while I’ll continue doing my DIY Endeavors Podcast (spotlighting DIY, independent music and other creative endeavors), the streaming webcast, it is no more.

Unless, that is, enough people decide it’s something they want to hear so bad that they’ll donate some money. If I raise $300.00 in a special PayPal fundraiser, that’ll be enough to bring DIYER back for twelve months.

Honestly, I’m not holding my breath.

Don’t get me wrong — I’m not at all bitter about DIYER’s lack of success. I did next to nothing to promote it, after all, and maintaining it was a pain in the ass. Not to mention the fact that I had to keep my desktop computer on 24 / 7 if I wanted it to broadcast. It’s going to be much more quiet at night around the lush and lavish studios of MWS Media from now on..!

I do apologize, you two or three people who doggedly requested Lijie, Shudder, City Beautiful, and Mark Mason, among others. If you want to hear those artists, let diyendeavors@gmail.com know, and I’ll pop ‘em in the podcast now and then.

Thanks for listening!

Oh — I’m in a much better mood today. Sloughing off dead skin helps!
