I sent Rush an email describing a problem the GIs may run into. I work everyday on an Air Force Base. I am a member of Rush 24/7 and the software on the base computer network will not allow most streaming audio. One of my squadron mates discovered a way I can listen to Rush via a CA station, but I can't get streaming audio from most radio stations. I am not sure the adopt-a-soldier idea will work because of streaming audio problem.
He must be reading your email now.
saminfl, will you please email Rush and alert him to the potential problem.
Okay....but I keep hearing him say it will be "up and running" on Monday...the contribution drive, that is...
Wouldn't he want to be SURE the troops would actually be able to get it...before asking for donations???
Rush took a call for an AF officer who mentioned this very problem. He said the podcasts, which are furnished as a part of the Rush 27/7 subscription, usually do get past the firewalls.
So for technical and other reasons this program is a piss poor idea.
