How to capture radio audio in real time: From your stereo receiver headphones output port (usually "1/8 inch" or "1/4 inch"), run a mono (or stereo) cable to the computer's audio card input (usually "1/8 inch", small black port). Tune your stereo receiver to KPFA 94.1, KPFB 89.3, or KFCF 88.1 FM, in Fresno, whatever works for you.Currently, we use a very simple audio capture program "CoolEdit96" by http://syntrillium.com/
(note we use CoolEdit96, not CoolEdit2000)Flashpoints audio is also available about 7pm each day for 24 hours afterward via KFCF 88.1 FM, Fresno: first half - second half
