GRC, Spencer, Ann and all,
Per the below retrieved files. Do we have a GRC member with the capacity 
to download and post all the 2018 GRC recordings to a common GRC site 
with sufficient storage capacity and easy access?

Here is the single retrieved post to the Pacifica Foundation YouTube 
site; How to create a local newscast.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FU2Gf75yT0w.

Thanks to all those of you who helped track this down. I'm glad we got 
it posted to the site because I'm sure there are still small 
stations—some new and some who weren't represented at this GRC—who would 
like to develop a newscast.   -Ann & Tom.

What I'm posting to the Pacifica Foundation YouTube channel is the 
memorable workshop with Leigh Robartes, Yuko Kodama, and Eric Tegethoff 
about how to create a local newscast at the 2018 GRC in Portland  I 
asked for the file because someone new to uploading content to the 
Pacifica Network asked me about it and took particular interest when I 
mentioned KRFP-Radio Free Moscow. He asked me about KRFP's story and I 
told him what I knew, including that the town was named by a Russian 
immigrant who started a trading post there in the 1890s. I said that 
Leigh had given this fascinating presentation at the 2018 GRC and I'd 
see if I could track it down. Now that I have it seems like a good thing 
to post to the Pacifica Foundation YouTube channel.

I have one question in mind as I listen to this again. Many of those 
present were from stations that didn't have a newscast and wanted to get 
one going. Leigh Robartes offered to train anyone who could get to 
Moscow and manage to stay long enough to do some training. I'm wondering 
whether anyone ever took him up on that and whether any local newscasts 
got off the ground with help from this workshop. Does anyone know?  I'm 
adding Leigh and Ursula to the address bar.

Only Ann's requested
