Jorge asked me to post here about CinchCast. Here's mine:

http://www.cinchcast.com/selckiku

And there's also Luke and Lindar:

http://www.cinchcast.com/lbergen
http://www.cinchcast.com/lindarthebard

And now la ctino is there too, but he hasn't said anything yet:

It's the same company as BlogTalkRadio. It has the disadvantages,
relatively, of not being live or interactive. But it has the
advantage that you can just call it up randomly at any time and talk
for as little or as long as you want, so it's convenient.

I think it's also nice how it's still a pretty small site. There's
two different posts by me on the front page right now, for instance!
It scrolls quite slowly. So maybe if there's suddenly a lot of
Lojbanic stuff there, people will notice us, and start to be like,
"Who are these people? What's going on?" .u'i

I'm going to start posting there in English as well, which should make
my posts relevant to a wider range of Lojbanists, and possibly random
strangers as well.

OK, I'm there too now:

I just tried it with a short call and it works fine. The problem is
that I had to make a long distance international call, and those are
expensive so I don't think I will be doing that very often. Do you
know if it's possible to call using Skype or something like that?

Ehm... holy crap.
Why didn't it give you a local number?
It is possible to call from Skype, but that kinda defeats the purpose.
At that point you could just record yourself and upload it.

Unless you have some kind of smart phone.

I call using an android app and I believe you can use the webapp directly if you have a mic

The only number I see is 1-646-200-0000

I see. Maybe I could do that then. I'll look into it.

Sorry, I just mean that if you log in on the website their's a button somewhere like "record new cinch" or something like that.

I know I don't need to announce here that I have posted a new cinch,
but there is one person who hasn't added mi to their "following" list
yet o'onai, and there is a message for them in that cinch, so I
thought I would let them know here.

=D Sowwy!

I just woke up, so forgive my really bad jbo.
This is good practice for me, because now I -have- to get used to
hearing Lojban.
((I had to listen 5+ times cos I kept hearing "cmina" and had to
figure out if it was jmina or cmima.))
