Webmaster 001: Welcome to our new Website!

As of October 1, 2012, Radio Sausalito has a new Website! And if you’re reading this post, it means you are seriously looking for items that will interest you. Over the next few weeks, there will be more and more items to see here.

This new site is built on WordPress, a platform originally designed for blogging. That means it’s ready-made for all the radio station’s content — music, posts, podcasts, opinions, news, and even videos, to be loaded directly onto the site.

As our spoken-word shows are produced and broadcast, we will upload them here immediately. We will soon be providing two more things: 1) Live Streaming of our Broadcast and 2) Podcasts of our excellent music shows.

Enjoy the new Website!…..Court Mast,….Webmaster

PS: I’m always open to suggestions to improve things! (Just be gentle, I break easily.) You can reach me through our Contact the Station page……C

(Below is a test audio file for feed validation.  This file will be removed as more podcasts are added….Thank You)
