I was an early podcaster starting on October 9, 2004. After two years the energy for that activity faded for me. Below are the podcasts I decided to keep after discarding the rest. There are two sections: Interviews and Storytelling.

Digitalization From My Cassette Tape of Apollo Moon Landing on the Moon, July 20, 1969
Today's Podcast is the digitalization of a cassette tape I made on July 20, 1969, when I originally captured the TV audio of the Apollo Moon Landing on the Moon. The 36-year old tape is still in pretty good shape, although some parts of the audio are muddled and a few other extraneous sounds were captured during the recording.

The historic Moon Walking segment starts just as Neil Armstrong is heading down the ladder of the LEM, before he stepped on the Moon. It ends about an hour later after the time when President Richard Nixon called the astronauts (Neil and Buzz Aldrin) standing outside the LEM by phone from the Oval Office in the White House.

I remember when Alan Shepard was the first American in space, playing the broadcast on my 8-transistor radio during my fifth grade school class. I remember President John Kennedy's speech about sending men to the Moon and back by the end of 1969. In the middle 1980's I met in-person three astronauts that traveled to the Moon: Gene Cernan; Jim Lovell, and Alan Bean.

To celebrate the 36th Anniversary of that historic event, I point you to my digital art image, Apollo Moon and my Desktop High-Resolution images of the same.

Duration of this PodCast is 1 hour 3 minutes and 53 seconds with a size of 34.4 MB. Sampled at 44.1kHz and variable-rate encoded between 64 and 128 kilobits.
