I'm getting reports of a hiccup but most folks have it working afresh...

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 10:51:14 PM
mine was more like a belch

by OldLion 3/22/2014 10:51:39 PM
Did anyone else have a page refresh fix it? Or another fix?

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 10:51:42 PM
There we go... much better now!

I am keeping this page going, for the comments, but am listening via another web radio feed.

by OldLion 3/22/2014 10:52:05 PM
Refresh seems to take care of it

by charles boren 3/22/2014 10:52:07 PM
Cortney Nixon, I know Garrison spoke of the history of the theater in a video here, you might want to watch it later. We'll have this up for a few days this week: www.youtube.com

Not a fan of the fact that I have scroll past the video to see previous comments

by Sean Butler 3/22/2014 10:53:03 PM
Thanks gang - if you have / create / find a fix, please share it publicly. Know we'll continue to make tweaks this week, it's the best part of the experiment!

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 10:53:27 PM
Thanks for the note Sean, we'll take a look at options...

by Julia Schrenkler, MPR 3/22/2014 10:54:13 PM
I right-clicked on the YouTube icon and copied the URL to open up a full-screen video on my 2nd monitor. Unless it's rebuffering in the last few minutes, the video quality is excellent in full-screen.

by Dave 3/22/2014 10:54:16 PM
close up on the water sound effects please?

by there was a period of time... 3/22/2014 10:54:27 PM

by Sean Butler 3/22/2014 10:55:01 PM
Daryl and his brother Earl...that would make a nice skit

by Sean Butler 3/22/2014 10:55:25 PM
@there was a period of time...: I think the water effect was made using a pitcher.

by Chak Man Yeung 3/22/2014 10:55:27 PM
