Radio Check... A Podcast from DIM

120 - The Moop Chaser Memorial Series "Unsung Ranger Heroes"

This episode marks the beginning of 

 

The Moop Chaser Memorial Series

"Unsung Ranger Heroes"

 

 

Ranger Moop Chaser heard a call over an event Radio, had his wife follow the conversation to Admin and jumped in to help out. A story that meant a lot of things to many different people.

 

To me, he saved the day, to his wife, he was so cute to be so excited, to him, he was really happy to have been able to help. It is a great story and we want more.

 

We are asking all Rangers and those who have interacted with us to get involved. Tell us a story. Dial us up and leave a message, tell us about something wonderful that a Ranger did that did not get all the publicity it should have. It is time. Tell it to us now.

It doesn't have to be huge, but we'd like it to mean something to you. We promise to be nice to all the stories.

 

 

 

Unfortunately, you will need to find these:

 

The right ear of a Mr. Potato Head toy

or a macaroni pointing to the sky like a satellite dish...

 

...on your handheld text and email device. And use it. If you would rather just record it onto your smart phone and send us the file, we would LOVE that even more. Pre thanks for getting involved. 773 775 5943

 

That's the end of Season One. Thank you so much for your feedback and well wishes. It has been a ride. We especially love those of you who responded when someone's memory didn't really match reality. No worries, keep an eye out for Season Two, where we'll actually make sure we all have an aural history that tracks properly. Also there is talk of a website, and more ways to find "Radio Check" the podcast. We might even give ya'll a chance to support our efforts, and get a little schwag when doing so.

 

We hope you enjoy!

117 - Harley K. Dubois - Probably the single best historian of The Black Rock Rangers. Episode 1 of 3

For the first time, we're going to release podcasts 2020 style. A whole mini series at once. 3 episodes of Harley K. Dubois! Binge Ready.

We (Splinter and Keeper) get to spend an afternoon with Harley K. Dubois. We learn so so much. Harley truly did have more information about anyone else regarding the early years of Rangering because well, she was there, and well, she was in charge of it.

Come listen to some of the most amazing memories about the early history of The Black Rock Rangers.

The Cacophony Society days, The big crazy year of 1996. The Massive changes made for 1997, including Joseph Pred running the Black Rock Rangers. 1998 ESD departure. 2002 and the upheavals. Ranger Council, Ranger Ops Teams. 

And closest to our hearts? The idea that if you really want to make a rule, you had better figure out how you are going to break the rule later because that always happens.

It truly was a gift getting to ask Harley about all these important things that make the Rangers who they are.

116 - Women of Khaki - Keeper interviews Mere de Terre, k8 and Peaches - Part 2

Hello Listeners!

Today is the second part of Women of Khaki Wave 2. Keeper produced this talk which gives insight into the days of Female Rangering after the release of Kathasauras's Women of Khaki calendar. 

Mere de Terre (as her friends say though officially listed as "Mere de Terra"), k8 (lowercase k - BIG 8) and Peaches continue to discuss just exactly what has changed and what has gotten better or still needs work in the Rangers.

 

115 - Women of Khaki - Keeper interviews Mere de Terre, k8 and Peaches - Part 1

Episode 15!!!! What a long strange trip it has been. 

This is another episode one of a 2 parter. This discussion talks about the challenges and changes women in the Rangers went through after the release of the Women in Khaki calendar. 

Ranger HQ, Female Shift Leading, and rain storms are among the many things Women in Khaki have been dealing with since the beginning.

Also, just because it looks good and makes sense, does not mean it is perfect. The emotional element still needs to be considered.
