This
river, the Nenana river, is located immediately adjacent to Denali National
Park and Preserve and passes by the McKinley Village where the Host had
an overnight stay. The river is glacier fed. There was a sign saying that
a Grizzly bear had recently been seen immediately by this property. Beautiful
and dangerous.How Can You Listen to the Keeping Kurrent Show?
From the Audio Program Page
First, you can find your way to the audio program page. It has all the program episodes from the 8th Season. You can listen to the episodes at any time you choose. The season started on October 1, 2005 and will continue through September 30, 2006. You will mostly find two 30 minute segments of each episode. You will be able to listen to these files if you have broadband service (Comcast) or a DSL line from your phone service. You can download the files within about 4 minutes and play them on your Window's RealPlayer audio or other player. So, if you have this ability click right here. These mp3 files will not download to your computer.
By Listening to Streaming Audio
If you have an internet dial-up connection it is still possible to hear the program, live, by turning to the Oregon Public Broadcasting web site. You can do this by highlighting OPB. Now, go down to the bottom of the page and you will find the phrase "Golden Hours and Audio Streams." Double click on that phrase and you'll see Golden Hours (MP3). You will find the instructions for listening to the show. The show will be heard between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. each Wednesday.
By Connecting to OMNI MEDIA Networks
Omni Media is a web based service that provides education, information and entertainment to handicapped persons (mostly those who are blind and to seniors). Learn more about it by checking their web site. Keeping Kurrent airs over this internet connection every week. Help support this organization.
By Listening to OPB Television
Turn your television set to Channel 10 in the Greater Portland Area. You need to tune to channel 10 on Wednesday's between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. since the program is being broadcast between those hours. Using your remote control you need to find and turn on SAP (Secondary Audio Programming). This may be found by pushing the Menu button on the remote. Sometimes the word SAP appears on the first screen. Sometimes you need to locate the "audio" functions and it is there. You will generally find SAP on all stereo televisions or stereo VCR players. You will see the television program playing, however, the words that come out are from the Golden Hours Network. Sometimes, the words and the video are the same. You will see specific reference to this service in the OPB schedule that comes out each month.
