Deserrrrttttt...... deserted.... cut in stream

Dang

I'm hearing the tunes back on just now

Back on!

WOO

think it's cutting back and forth from the jazz to your stuff in weird fashion now

I like this funky Istanbul.. a little chopped up... some cuts skips dropping out tho

Capt Ahab, try dropping your bitrate to 192 kbps

Ok will do that

You will likely need to disconnect from the server, drop the bitrate, and then reconnect.

I cant do it will while streaming right?

Right

Ok fingers crossed

Ok done

Sounds like a loose wire, or bad connection.

Better now!

Far fewer cut-outs over the past sixty seconds than when I first tuned in.

Am making the rounds making sure everyone's off the wifi, I told them but have reminded

Stormy seas captain! Steady as she goes! 🏴‍☠️⚓️

Have you tried turning it off and then back on again?? -The I.T. Crowd

don't want to jynx but steady going & sounding good for a while now....

Yeah the thunder just struck Jerry! Did you hear Deirdre's sacramental set?

Sorry No i was out cheating on wprb

Good job, Captain Ahab! Cheers to MikeLupica!

Thanks Mike!

Thats why she is the Captain ! 🎶🔊

Right on! If you start cutting out again, you can drop your bitrate to 128 but below that is gonna start to sound crappy on FM. But you've been steady and clear for a while now so hopefully out of the woods for the rest of your show.

Roger

Very stable now! Thumbs way up!

Oooooh new stuff from Baron Crane!

Ok so I feel a bit more relaxed now

How is everyone!

Enjoy the show, glad your connection is more stable and waiting on a possible storm to roll through that could cause myriad other issues!

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday afternoon! I love this Baron Crane -- does the drum section remind anyone else of '21st Century Schizoid Man' with that 1-2-1-2-3 alternating beat?

Happy to be here! Enjoying the tunes! How are you, DJ Captain Ahab???

good afternoon and that baron crane track kinda ruled. southern montco pa is getting the storm now.

Hi Teresa! Glad you liked it, I don't have the ear to pick up that kind of thing (sadly) but COOL

I'm glad to be here too, in Desert Cruising zone

Sad about the disconnections earlier but oh well

There is some baklava waiting for me after the show

So I have that going for e

*me

Oh yum, baklava! 😋

lol @ "weekly embargo on the wifi".

It's true! I gotta hoard all them MBPS for Desert Cruising

WPRB should look into dropping that PSA about finding safe online drugs. Or at least change one of the criteria for safety being a United States address.

I am on an expensive drug Xarelto that would cost me a little under $17 a pill if I bought the US version. Once I get from Canada made in Turkey cost $4.50 each

Same exact drug, manufactured for the overseas market

There are plenty of other good PSAs out there

Hey Sean, thanks for your input, I'll share it with the team

X cover! Nice.

Homage to the LP cover too. Nice nice

This is great! I just looked it up and confirm that Violet is the daughter of Dave Grohl (he of the Nirvana)

She is 15/16!!!

So talented

Truly! Must be the genes!

Great vibes to drive to. 🚗 Thanks, Cap'n Ahab! (I am no longer driving)

Thanks Christine! I approve of the not prb-chatting while driving approach :)

this COVER❣️

I knooooooow

too good

The entire ALBUM⁉️ Fun timez.

X. But not The Ex. Nor The X. So many....

Ah my bad! Just X, noted

all hail king woman!

This one's for you Brian!

Yah that King Woman was tight!

So confusing these X and Ex bands all over the world.

Oh thank you Ahab! I did mention them.

Can everyone picture Captain going around the house "THE WIFI EMBARGO HAS ENDED! Desert Cruising fans thank you for your sacrifice."

Haha

Wednesday is one helluva day

Great time Ahab!

Big CHEERS to DJ Captain Ahab! Kind regards to you!

@Jason exactly that!!! hehe

Really liked discovering Congulus.

Enjoy the baklava!!

Ah yes I forgot about the baklava!!

Never Forget the BAKLAVA

mmmm, baklava. Great show, glad you persevered the outages!

And Hashtea!

Congratulations!

Thanks team, see you next time!
