Hi folks,
After reading of ddyer's search for a show about "Laughing Larry Doyle," I found that all the shows in the podcast [url="http://shepcast.blogspot.com"]The Brass Figlagee[/url] can be searched by text! I tried it tonight, and I think it's very impressive.
The PodZinger site uses an MP3-to-text program to convert the shows to text, [url="http://www.podzinger.com/results.jsp?s=PZSID_pods_pod5_0_8_0006"]which can then be searched on this PodZinger page[/url]. The translation isn't perfect, but I did find a handful of "Larry"s and "Doyle"s. No "Laughing Larry Doyle" though, sorry ddyer.
Anyway, if any of you fans are looking for a specific phrase or subject in a Shepherd show, try the search link above. I've been adding a show a night for 15 months, so I'm about 1/3 through the Shep Archives material, and will keep going until I've got it all uploaded (deo volente).

PS> "The Brass Figlagee" podcast is a labor of love... I won't sell anything, I don't attach my real name to it (because it's not my show, it's Jean's), and the one "click here to buy the Shep book" link I have actually donates to Jim's excellent site here.
I really do it to make Jean's shows more accessible, for free, to anyone on the internet. Podcasting makes it very convenient for listeners using nearly any computer, for old fans and new fans alike. And getting one show a day is almost like reliving the old days. So please, spread the word. |
