Event - 100th show get together

WILD TIME is celebrating its 100th show on June 21st 2010!

Between 5p.m. -9p.m. I hope to be seeing YOU in person at the vegetarian restaurant Govindas on Aungier Street, Dublin (a stonethrow away from the famous Market Arcade) for a little get together to celebrate the achievements of WILD TIME in all its shapes and forms.

We're not funded so you'll have to pay your own bill on the day BUT Govindas is more than reasonable and the food is brilliant.

Oops ...

just checked my shows on blog tv and saw that apparently the interview with Chris Kiser was saved on video. Check it out here!!

Thank you Chris!

The interview with Chris Kiser was cut short by technology. However, he came across very well and is a brilliant and very passionate and compassionate guy. Thanks to Chris for talking to us and for his blog

Mark Carter left a message for us!!

"Many thanks Thomas for giving me the opportunity to talk on your show, I enjoyed it, I hope your listeners did as well.

As in the conclusion; if only everyone could push for Marine Protected Areas (real protection to areas that include no-take), then we could really see some benefit in the marine ecosystems and that wou...ld be good for us!

Best regards, Mark"

PS Keep up your own good work! and I hope that "Hogan" the parrot gets better soon.

- Thanks Mark, it's been a pleasure having you on the show

Technicalities

The results are in: Unfortunately blog tv can't retrieve yesterday's interview with Maik Schaffer. They checked their server and there are no glitches or problems. They told me that one needs at least 300kbs upload speed for a show to appear but recommedn 400kbs. A bandwidth test on my machine and connection showed 307kbs speed, which is sufficient but may be the reason as to why some of the videos come up with error messages.

The sound quality has got nothing to do with these requirements as they come from the systems used between host and guest and we have already opted for professional equipment on our end.

We recently updated with eircom to 3mb but that's only the connection speed not the upload speed.

In short, most videos are fine while some recordings won't work meaning there is no recording for an archive later. Well, that's that. Thanks to blog tv as they were really quick!

Earlier today we conducted another video interview. There are more in the pipeline and shall be announced in due course.

So please WATCH THIS SPACE!!

Cats Cause continued

... please read Megan's response by clicking on the comment field under the blog from February 4th.

WILD TIME does not wish to get further involved in arguments and back and forthgoing emails and bad blood and so on.

Our aim is too highlight animal rights.
If you wish to send your comments to Megan, please do so but leave us out of it.

These arguments take away from the interviews we did and do in order to help animals around the world.

I hope that all parties involved can just move on.

Thank you

Re Interview CAT CAUSE

There were some emails and comments coming in regarding the interview we did with Megan Tiedemann/Megan Pekilis about her statements and medical advise given in the interview.

This is the latest one:

" On behalf of a majority of people who know the creator of Cat Cause, Megan Pekilis we would like to inform you that we do not agree on the grounds of which this group was established. The reason for this is because we are aware that she does not have the authority to offer any medical advice concerning animals from a veterinary standpoint as she has not received the training nor the education to offer this.

For you information, she has worked for at least two animal clinics in the Greater Toronto Area and has been dismissed from both on rather unfavourable terms. We are greatly concerned that many people might be fooled by the impression that which was made on the interview you did with her and may actually be planning to donate money towards this 'cause'.

We support the actual reason for creating such a group however the she is not an ideal canidiate for such a position.

Thank you for your time and consideration."

----------

In light of this the question is now whether or not to remove the interview from our blog TV page or not - please let us know what you think.
