Editor's Note (5/28/06): Hi, I'm Frank Edward Nora, editor of New Time Radio. I started my first Internet talk radio station, Bluffcosm, back in March of 2000. A year later, I began the links page that eventually became "New Time Radio" (here is an archive of that first page.) Before podcasting, there weren't that many Internet talk radio shows, so it wasn't too hard keeping the links up to date. But since podcasting took off in October 2004, I haven't been able to keep up, and other sites (such as Podcast Pickle) have far surpassed New Time Radio with the scope of their links and directories. The reason I don't have that much time for this site is that I do my own daily podcast call The Overnightscape. So, while I will keep the site going, for now I am only going to add shows that I feel are especially worthy of listing. And as usual, dead links are never removed, just put in a separate section - some interesting info on the history of Internet talk radio!

Editor's Note (5/19/07): Well it's been about a year with no updates to this site. I am still doing on my show, The Overnightscape - which is almost at episode 600! I just wanted to say that I have no plans right now to make any further updates on this New Time Radio site, but I will keep the site up and running on an ongoing basis. And who knows what the future might bring!

Note (5/27/06): Since New Time Radio started back in 2001, I have never deleted any links - I just put them in a separate section of stale/dead/suspended links. In the past this section wasn't very big, but recently a TON of podcasts listed on New Time Radio have faded away. I guess it makes sense... a lot of folks jumped on the bandwagon and couldn't keep their shows going. So this section (now with gray background) will be growing longer... (If your show is in here and it shouldn't be, let me know).

(Note: This site used to be called "Jaloppio", but was changed to "New Time Radio" on 9/15/03. We changed our focus to MP3-based shows on 4/7/04. This page began as "BLUFFCOSM INTERNET AUDIO LINKS " on 3/25/01. On 6/26/05 the color scheme was changed from orange/black/purple to black/white/green.)

Interested in what was around before podcasting came along? Here's a copy of the last version of New Time Radio before the podcasting revolution arrived.

And here is the very first version of New Time Radio from March 25, 2001. It's interesting to note that several of these shows still live on as podcasts!
