The new Flash-based MP3 player software is part of this web page. If you go to another web page, its gone.
To listen to a show and look at other web pages, you'll need to open either a new tab or a new browser window.
Then too, you can not use the player and instead download most shows to your computer where you can
play them with any audio software.
When you first click on the Play button:
The show should start playing almost immediately
The Play button moves to the right and changes into a Pause button, with two vertical lines (see the
screen shot below). You can use it to pause playback at any time.
The show downloads in the background at a speed that depends on the speed of your Internet connection. You can see
this as a gray stripe that moves from left to right. In the picture below, about half of the show has downloaded.
When the horizontal line changes from white to light gray, the show has fully downloaded to your computer.
It continues to play during the dowload process.
While the show is playing:
You can drag the dark gray section of the slider left and right to move forward and backward within the show.
The elapsed time is displayed on the far right at hh:mm:ss. In the picture above, the show
has been playing for 10 seconds.
The player does not show the total time of the show and does not offer a volume control.

Fracking, also known as hydraulic fracturing, is the process of drilling for "natural gas" (a.k.a. methane), a greenhouse gas. The U.S. president and the governors of New York, Pennsylvania and Texas are for it, despite what the process has done to the air, water and property values in every place where it has happened. Some politicians and even some "environmental groups" have touted it as an alternative to coal or nuclear. Those groups and politicians ignore renewable energy as a quicker, cheaper and much cleaner solution. Hosted by Ken Gale.

Father of Cool, the First of the Hip, Lester Young redefined the tenor saxophone during his years with the Basie band, and contributed lasting items to American slang, like "cool" and "bread" and "far out"; he embodied the sheer liberty of jazz, its appeal and its danger. He wasn't quite 50 when he died in March 1959, done in by drink. More...
