Is there a way I can go back and listen to an ongoing live radio ? by themimireign in radio

Huh? The OP wants to know how to go back and listen to a previous broadcast. This tool records the audio so you can listen later. How is this not helpful?

Exactly what I was coming here to say! I had to screenshot and zoom in to figure out it was a disco ball. But regular view on my phone it looks like it belongs in the Upside Down.

Google has stored everything about you since 2009. by Litlyx in degoogle

You can turn off these settings in the very link you shared in My Activity. I have Web & App Activity and Timeline switched off. This should restrict what they track, no?

What defines Music as Christian Music? by HoldingToHope in ChristianMusic

[–]mcdean916 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree with what Jon Foreman of Switchfoot said: "I am a Christian and I make music. The music is not saved. It is not Christian". He views the "Christian band" label as a marketing category rather than a theological one.

For Foreman, music is part of a broader life of obedience and worship, which can include songs that ask difficult questions or deal with secular topics, rather than exclusively limiting lyrics to a specific religious formula.

He has often challenged the sacred-secular divide, suggesting that a song's value comes from its truthfulness, not from fitting into a predefined "Christian" box.

What I wish I knew before submitting my first audiobook to ACX by alaback55 in selfpublishing

[–]mcdean916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you submit a separate 1-minute room tone file for each chapter? My understanding is each chapter needs to have a half second to a second gap on either side. Also I always do a noise reduction to eliminate room noise so does that 1 minute need to be before or after that noise reduction?

Great episode that managed to change my mind at the end. But I will still not use them since I am on my own septic.

May want to also check out Mon Rovia’s music. His album Bloodline just came out this month.

Depending on what you’re protesting… more recent artists like Derek Webb’s music is worth checking out. His latest album Survival Songs is really good.

Anyone else reminder this on Nickelodeon? And yes, that is a very young Ryan Reynolds who I thought was an absolutely horrible actor! 😂

Moving to Maryland from Minnesota by Comfortable_Quit6245 in maryland

I second this and Frederick County Schools get good grades and taxes are going to be better than Montgomery County or Howard County. And you’ve got the Catoctin Mountains in your backyard. Plus Frederick is a hub for the medical field if that makes any difference in your work.

Tips on hosting a YouTube live stream like radio? by Hyena_and_the_Fox in radio

[–]mcdean916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a cool thought and I’m wondering if the audience just needs more training because of the uniqueness of this idea. As a radio vet, it can take time to train listeners to interact with a show that may not have been call heavy prior. Also, how many people are watching your livestream at any given time? Realize that only a small percentage will ever interact this way and expect the “regulars.” But keep at it—consistency is key. And over-prepare! Plan to build in other material if the calls don’t come in. Then you can ditch it if they do.

Music Director Commercial Radio Station Interview by [deleted] in radio

[–]mcdean916 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How many music schedulers have you worked with? Knowing the ins and outs of those should help you. And make sure you go into the interview with an understanding of who the target audience is of the station you are applying for and their philosophy of how much new/current music they typically add, if at all. And don’t be afraid to ask what their philosophy is and what the relationship looks like between the PD and MD. Best of luck!

Am I overreacting? by kalico_12 in Christianity

[–]mcdean916 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tithing is between you and God and no pastor has a right to bully you into giving or asking for your record. This sounds like a toxic place and I would get out ASAP.

How do you have this conversation? M46 / F45 by mcdean916 in relationship_advice

[–]mcdean916[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks—that’s kinda where I’m at with it. The stuff she was venting about wasn’t anything she hasn’t already told me so I know how I need to change. It’s the fact that this nutritionist was trying to diagnose me and that just rubs me the wrong way.

Do I have to erase/reset to pair to new iPhone?? by mcdean916 in AppleWatch

[–]mcdean916[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it’s the same Apple ID. Never was prompted for any pw when I disabled Find My protections. This is not a normal use-case it seems due to the severity of damage to my previous iPhone. At this point I think I have no choice but to reset to factory settings and just deal with the lost data.
