ps: I apologize for the unfortunate time for the Pacific Rim; 
streamingmedia.com is a US westcoast-based company and picking 
a time that works for all time zones is impossible. 
We will try to find a more friendly time for you on a next ocassion. 
You will still be able to listen to the broadcasts after they 
have occured; we will publish the links.
