Mike,
The audio of the meetup doesn't seem to be functional.I'm not sure about the RSS feed, but all I get is a page with a lot of code on it. Do I need to do something else?
Thanks for the help... :)Posted March 30, 2010 at 7:09 PM -

Karen, The first URL in Mike's comment is the RSS feed and the second one is a direct link to the audio file. The second one should open in your browser, assuming that your browser can understand audio/mpeg content. Our podcasts are also available through the iTunes store.

Hey Mark,
Thanks for the reply. I can get the audio icon on my page but when I hit play, nothing happens. Two others gave it a try (at my request) on their machines, but no one is able to get sound. The icon simply sits on the page. Can you play it? hear it?Posted March 30, 2010 at 11:50 PM

Carol BusbyI thought the speaker was incredibly interesting! I thoroughly enjoyed the speaker and the questions.
-
BeckyI really enjoyed this talk and learned more about dolphins, orcas and related species in 90 minutes than in years of picking up bits and pieces from TV documentaries and the like. Dr. Marino is clearly passionate about her work. Thanks to her for bringing her research to us at the Tavern.

DavidThis was my first meet-up. I thought the level and depth of presentation was good - enough to maintain interest and provoke questions and discussion (I asked the last question, about echolocation signal processing), but not so high as to baffle or lose the lay attendee. I also had a nice conversation with an ecologist prior to the presentation. I was sufficiently impressed to lure me back again...

HarryJExcellent subject! More discussion on the subject of man's abuse of various species should be scheduled. Quick comment......the room was very cramped.
