Live Audio-cast of Keynote Address

Can't come to SUNYLA this year, but would love to hear what Joe Janes has to say?
We are trying something new this year...

Live audio-casting (no video) of the keynote speech will be available courtesy of our campus BearCast system. This is a LIVE cast ONLY, and will not be available for downloading later. There will NOT be a link on our BearCast website, you will need to use the link below:


The above link will be activated on Thursday, June 12, sometime between 1:45 and 2:00pm. It will not work before then! We apologize in advance for any technical difficulties.

Live events are currently streamed in mp3 format. The stream should open automatically in iTunes, Windows Media Player, or other audio software of your choice.

Recommended software for MacOS includes iTunes, VLC, or RealPlayer.

Recommended software for Windows includes Windows Media Player, iTunes, VLC, or RealPlayer. Windows Media Player users may need to hit the "Play" button after the stream buffers for a few seconds.

BearCast is service that has been configured for campus concert performances and sporting events. We are making use of an previously existing service. Unfortunately we cannot make the cast available in video format or for downloading at a later time. Hope the live audio-cast will be adequate! Many thanks to Dr. Peter McCoy for making his server available to us!

The audio cast sounded great until Joe Janes began to speak. The way in which the stream reproduced Mr. Janes' voice (which was already being broadcast from a remote location in Seattle) gave his voice a muddied and echoing tone. I could hear him, but it was like listening to his address through a wall. Too bad.
