Our last radio show for a year!

Sticking out (in a crowd)
I’m sad to report that WeatherGirl and I are in the midst of what will probably be our last radio show here at KUMM for the better part of a year! We leave Morris a week from tomorrow for our year in Colchester (UK), and I can’t imagine that next week we’ll have the time to be spending three hours here at the station the day before we have to leave for a year. Sub-Evil Boy may do his 10-noon show next Sunday, though, so there is some consolation.

Doing radio here is one of the things that I’ll most miss next year – I love college radio, and being able to participate in that for over 25 years now has been a great experience. We’ve got a great staff for next year, and I expect big things, and we’ll definitely be listening on-line!

If you catch this before 9pm central time, feel free to tune in or listen on-line. Or you can check out our poorly formatted play lists on-line. Less danceable, but a lot faster and without all that annoying banter.

Stuck here together

Sub-Evil Boy and I spent a few hours in the Twin Cities on our way to Wisconsin a few weeks ago. Several hours were spent at the very cool Pompeii exhibit at the Minnesota Science Museum (no pictures, sorry). We also had a short visit to the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory in St. Paul, which we’d never been to before.The animal enclosures tended towards the old and sad, but the conservatory was quite beautiful.

The gorillas at Como were particularly sad. Classic old school enclosures, with fairly little space and even less to do. They looked bored and depressed, and it was hardly surprising. And I’m not just trying to take cheap shots at the zoo, here. I’m sure their funding is nothing to get excited about, and as a city zoo in a park with essentially no admission fee, they operate under some pretty challenging constraints. Still, it all makes for a zoo that’s preserving DNA, but not much else.

I was really torn this and the B&W version of this. The discussion on Flickr about that (and about zoos in general) has been quite interesting.
