Sooo…we haven’t written lately.
We’ve had a tremendous response from stations and listeners, and are so grateful to be reaching so many folks. The blog has suffered a bit, but no longer! Mason Vander Lugt, a Catalog Librarian at Syracuse University’s E.S. Bird Library, will be bringing his talents to our site.

And you can read his very first Sound Beat post right now. Without any further ado:
