We're expecting this to be one of our bigger shows, and we hope to see you all there.

For more information, please visit Mortality Radio
....and for those who will be speaking to the great sage, report back here forthwith!!

Beshaba's butt.  I can't use IRC. 
Someone ask him stuff like what new things in the Realms are things he created, and what someone else did -- like the Shadow Weave, that sort of thing. |

How does the radio show bit work with the IRC chat bit?
Bookwyrm, that particular question's been answered on REALMS-L:quote:
Oh, and an answer to Mage!: no, the Shadow Weave was
not my invention. I believe it originated with Rich
Baker, whose novel The Shadow Stone was rescued from
Birthright and whisked into the Realms. Neither was
the return of Shade, the phaerimm, or the Archwizards
thereof. Very interesting (even though I personally
hate most RSEs), but the published Realms must always
offer maximum interesting play possibilities without
tearing up everything, so . . . qualified success,
thus far.

| Ah, now what he said makes sense. Ed Greenwood didn't seem the type to want stories that affect the entire world of Toril. Which is why I like the Forgotten Realms over other such series. All the stories, happening at the same time -- it's more real. |

Confound it... , I'll be at work all day Friday. It's a shame too, because I wanted to ask him some follow up questions from the WotC chat he did a while back...

Well met
Hmmmmm, being as there are to be a number of scribes who have questions for the old Sage of the Realms but are unable to attend.....
Maybe those who CAN attend can say so here and those who can not attend could state their questions herein, thus collating a list for those who are attending the event?
I think i've confused myself!  |

Can someone explain how this is both a radio show and an IRC chat?
Posting questions here, we may be able to answer some of them in advance, as I did above. |

Basically the audience gathers in the channel and interacts before, after, and sometimes during the show with the hosts. At a scheduled time, the guest(who sometimes is in the chat room too) calls in to the radio station the show is being broadcasted from. As the audience listens via Winamp broadcast (the show gives out a URL to listen in to the interview and the hosts talking), the guest is asked questions, etc.
All in all not a bad program although sometimes there are glitches....
I hope that somehow made sense. I'm just on my first cup of coffee so something may have been confusing. |

| Can someone please let me know what I need to do to listen in on the discussion? I'm not sure what is required. The site itself seems cluttered, and I couldn't find any information. Could someone help me? |
"That's right, hurl back views that force ye to think by name-calling - 'tis the grand old tradition, let it not down! Anything to keep from having to think, or - Mystra forfend - change thy own views!"
Narnra glowered at her father. "Just how am I to learn how to think? By being taught by you?"
"Some folk in the Realms would give their lives for the chance to learn at my feet," Elminster said mildly. "Several already have."
~from Elminster's Daughter, Ed Greenwood |

Go to MIRC's homepage and download that program to log onto the chat area. From the channel, they give out the information to listen to the audio interview. I use Winamp to listen in, so you need to download it or its equivalent.
Otherwise, just wait til a day or so passes, and download the show once it's posted online. From there all you need is some type of audio player again that plays mp3s. |

You will indeed Bookwyrm. In fact all of the 'chats' based at Mortality.net can be downloaded, just go to their website and have a browse through their interview catalogue.

Yes, I'm going to download or stream that interview (depends on my mood and time) when it comes on. 2000h EST isn't a time slot I'm allowed to use in my house.  |

Ed said that if there were any more questions people wanted answers to that they could post them here on candlekeep and he'd send someone around to collect them for him.  |

Well met
We are currently in discussions with Mortality to acquire a copy of this interview to place within the library. I will keep thee all informed |

Hail, and well met, all.
My name is Adlon, one of two hosts for the Mortality Radio Show.
I stopped by to introduce myself, and to answer a few possible questions.
As far as listening to the show live as it's happening, all one needs is Winamp for PC, or Audion for MAC. You type or paste the address of the server in the Open Location area, and hit ok. You should get the live feed within seconds in the states, to a minute in Europe, and where ever else we here in the states consider overseas.
Good results can USUALLY be obtained even on a 56 K dial up connection, though 'overseas' connections may suffer if on a 56K.
Now, to listen to the show after it's over, the archive, you have two options.
Option one is to download the entire MP3 to your computer. The Ed Greenwood show is about 32 MB in size. Quite chunky to some. But, once you have it on your system, you can listen to it as you wish, fast forwarding, pausing, and the like.
Option two: you can stream it off of our server. When you click on the archive link, you should get the opportunity to either SAVE, or Open. Choose Open, and your MP3 player should start up automatically.
As for show information, you can go to http://www.mortality.net/shoutcast.php
There is a large Mortality Radio graphic on the main Mortality.Net page, top center, which is also a link to the shoutcast page.
I'll work out details for a mirror download of the show with the webmaster of Candlekeep.
The show with Ed was a blast. Some of you may have come, an I thank you for doing so. Hopefully, you liked the show, and will continue to return.
.......Until Swords Part |

| Adlon is a very sweet person and always courteous even if he did hang up on Ed Greenwood a few times before finally starting the interview. |

Someone grab Elminster's pipe and threaten not to return it until Mr. Greenwood provides some details about the upcoming Waterdeep novel. August 2005 is too long to wait for City of Splendor fans. |

Well, I just finished listening to it an hour ago. It was hard to do, though -- I'm sensitive to high sounds, such as sqealing brakes and sirens and scratchy phone connections with master sages. Still, I listened to the whole thing, even though I had to pause often to rest my ears.
The was one amusing moment though. My father is almost completely deaf in the same ranges that cause me pain, and so when he came in while Mr. Greenwood was talking, he gave me a strange look and asked if that was supposed to be an alien's voice or something. |

| I found it quite difficult to listen to, had to turn the volume quite low due to the high-pitched sounds and voices Therefore I only got about 10 minutes worth before I needed a rest |

That's not all that strange Rad, although in some cases these problems can be traced to the type of 'player' you are using to replay the 'chat'.
What program are you actually using...?
