HOW ABOUT SOME NEW SHOWS

We have a new show on books.  It's World of Books hosted by Mihaela Stoops, and it will be broadcast every other Tuesday at 3pm starting June 1st.  Stay tuned to see the authors and books she covers.  It will cover books by authors and events on the mainland and in Europe, among other places.

ThinkTech likes books and authors and interviews about books and authors.  Mihaela Stoops' show World of Books joins our Books! Books! Books! show which is hosted by Elaine Gallant, which is broadcast every other Wednesday at 4pm.  The next episode is on May 24th.

Note that both Elaine and Mihaela live on Maui, but both have a huge rolodex that lets them connect with authors everywhere.  Now that we have two books shows, ThinkTech can be your weekly book club with great literary insights and suggestions for you.  Get caught reading!

We also have a new show on critical thinking, and goodness knows these days that can be very helpful.  It's called Thinking it Through, hosted by Michael Sukhov, who comes to us with experience in radio, journalism and blogging.  It's broadcast at noon every other Friday.  The next episode is on May 26th.

We're working on getting other shows into the lineup, too, including a show on agriculture.  We'd also like to get something going on the subject of museums, and we're hoping to get that set up in the next few months.  Do you know anyone who'd like to do a biweekly series on ThinkTech?  Please let us know.  We're always looking.  Contact us at jay@fidell.com or (808) 780-9254.  Thanks so much.

PLEASE GET READY FOR OUR FALL FUND DRIVE The ramp up for our Fall Fund Drive starts in mid-October and the drive itself will be in and through the month of November.  It's coming soon so we're preparing for it, with our various emails, bulletins and messages to go to our viewers, hosts and guests, including you.  We rely heavily on our fund drives to pay the bills.  Regrettably, our last two fund drives were not as successful as we had hoped, and so this time we're working hard to address what we can do to make this one more successful. Will you join us?  Just as we are working hard to produce all our 30 weekly talk shows (which is an effort all in itself) and to prepare for our fund drive this fall, we hope you are thinking about what you can do to help us, to keep us on the air, to enable our staff and citizen journalists to do what they do. It doesn't happen by itself.  We have expenses every day, for staff, space, equipment, streaming and software subscriptions, and

Graphics are worth at least a thousand words We have so many stories and links on our various publications, including our Daily Email Advisories and our Flash Messages and all the newsletters we send out covering news, events, features, fund drives, projects and holidays. All these can all be better with graphics, graphics that catch the eye and reinforce the message.  And more and more we're getting into the swing of things by adding graphics to our content.  That can include graphics from one of the stock photo sites we use, or an AI graphic from Discord-MidJourney, or one of the graphics we have in our collection. We found and have moved on to storing our collection of photos and graphics in Google photos, where we have accumulated a huge number of them in that collection, and this helps us find and include them in all our publications.  The good thing about Google photos is that you can upload and tag them quickly, then find and download them quickly.  Furthermore, you can edit

THINKTECH WORKFLOW NOTICE ThinkTech is always improving its workflow. Now, in lieu of specific “airdates” we will simply upload your shows onto YouTube as soon as they are edited, i.e., 1-2 days after you have appeared on your show. As soon as the videos are uploaded, we will let you know and send you the on demand links for the show and the YouTube playlist so that you can watch the show and share those links withyour friends and associates.. We have redesigned our website to list all the Latest Productions on the top of the homepage (just below the player) and as a sidebar on other pages on the site, so that you can find and play them on demand as soon as they are available.  This will give you better production values for your shows, make it easier for you to find, play and replay them now and in the future, make the workflow easier for our staff, and save software subscription costs. What do you have to do?  Nothing, except share the on-demand links we send you to your friends and
