Latest word from the staff is that we will see automated archiving return sometime in February. Yeah, we are disappointed about this whole situation as well, but we appear getting closer to a resolution. Here's to better days of listening ahead!

For 15 years now Radio Rumpus Room has been broadcast Fridays at 9-10:30 p.m. on KFAI Fresh Air Radio, FM 90.3 Minneapolis and 106.7 St. Paul. The show streams live on the Internet; our RealAudio archives will return sometime in Februrary, fingers crossed. Just visit the RRR web page anytime to listen to this noise and accompanying yakkin' by Ron and Jean.
