T&RC audio now up
Audio from this past weekend's Truth & Reconciliation Commission hearings is now up here in both downloadable and streaming formats. It's not as neatly indexed as I'd prefer, but that was the tradeoff for getting the files up (relatively) quickly.

Please add the names of the people giving testimony on your audio site. Without the names it is very hard to navigate this important site. Thanks to the N&R for making this testimony available to the community

Names are up now. Note that in order to get the files up more quickly (they're already a day later than we promised), we did not edit the files so that each speaker is in a separate file.

Lex, as the News & Record declined the opportunity to record the Public Hearings, it seems that you should make sure that Ed Whitfield, a volunteer for the GTRC, gets the full credit he deserves for setting up, running the sound, recording the hearings to disk, editing those files (trimming dead air, etc.) and making them available free of charge to the News & Record.
The only credit I saw on your page credited "Staff Reports."

That's being taken care of, Chewie.
For the record, although it's technically accurate to say we "declined" to record the hearings, the reason we didn't was that all three of the news people with the technical expertise to do so were out of town this past weekend. It's not that we didn't want to. Knowing that that was going to be the case, I contacted commission spokeswoman Joya Wesley in advance, and she arranged for Ed to do the work and deliver the disks. We're grateful to them both.
