    Any chance of a podcast of Modern Times for listening later during the week?

    Hi Marty, current copyright law prohibits us from podcasting programs containing more than 60 seconds of music from CD.

      @Georja The piece just before the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Tempest Fantasy" was "Antares" by Carter Pann. Copy and paste this link into your browser if you are interested in the recording: http://tinyurl.com/ag6ezrc

    Love Modern Times. The time, not so much. It's great that KUSC has a show dedicated to contemporary and recent modern composers. Thanks Alan and KUSC.

    As for the podcast issue, does copyright law allow doing something like the organ show, Pipedreams, http://pipedreams.publicradio.org? They make their shows available not for download, but for streaming on their website.

    I too love the show Alan!

    Would love to hear some Lou Harrison on the upcoming show (or sometime in the future).

    Thanks!
