You may have seen links
in the TCN to Transportation Radio stories I've done. These are audio stories
with original reporting on various transportation subjects. I hope to do even
more of these in the future. I've created a webpage where future Transportation
Radio stories can be found. It's www.TransportationRadio.com.
If you have a chance, please
do me a favor. I'd like to make sure this site and the stories play on a
variety of browsers and locations, especially outside the US. Please click on
the link above and on one or more of the stories and let me know if you
encounter any problems. Thanks!
