> RSA for February 17th is now online!

Welcome to the third week of the 2025 membership drive! Thanks for all of your support! We're almost done and will return to even more mispronunciations and start mailing out prizes and thank you's! But never fear, you've still got just under 2 weeks to get in on the fun! This weekend in Toronto we're being treated to something like 36 hours of straight snow, fairly heavy for this part of Canada. So I've stocked up on snacks and I've got to get caught up on Severance. I'm getting everything done early for the weekend so I can enjoy the last few days of my stay-cation on the couch. Might even get the final Membership drive show started! But I'm getting ahead of myself... This weeks show includes tracks from Blut Reaktor, Virulents, Cryptic Echoes, Dezeption, Darkvolt, Massive Ego, Frozen Plasma and Syncfactory.

> 2025 Real Synthetic Audio Membership Drive

The 2025 membership drive is upon us! For the month of February we ask for donations from our wonderful listeners, to help pay the hosting bills, and basically keep this place going for another year. Once upon a time I compared what we do to a College Radio fundraiser (or PBS if you live in or near the US) but I think that comparison is getting old. Consider this a patreon with a one time donation and fixed extras. Everyone who donates will get something in the mail. Even if you don't want a USB stick, you'll get a nice card. On both the USB sticks and the Digital Download collections that you will receive will be a pared down version of the Spreadsheet that Dr. Peter Anthamatten created, which helps me keep the repetitious play to a minimum. Find out just which show that Psy'Aviah track was on, etc.
Your donations are crucial to RSA, and very very much appreciated.

> "Watch" Real Synthetic Audio on YouTube

So after seeing the way a few people use YouTube for listening to music and/or podcasts, I've decided to slowly start uploading various sets and shows to YouTube for everyone to enjoy. Please feel free to subscribe to get new shows added to your feed weekly!

> RSA Podcasting and site Blog

I've updated the method that we do podcasting here at RSA. Now you can get each weeks show automatically downloaded to your PC or MP3 player by subscribing to the RSS feed. Simply subscribe through iTunes or Juice and each week the show will be fed to you as soon as it's available. Also, there is now an RSA Facebook group for you all to join and a BlueSky account to follow!

> Real Synthetic Audio merch on Threadless

I've taken the time to set up an RSA merch store on Threadless. Here's where you can pick up everything from T-Shirts, to mugs, to the RSA shower curtain I ordered for myself!

> I Might Not Be The Best Internet DJ, But If I Was - The RSA Story

So a little over a year ago I was approached by this guy who wanted to do a documentary about me & RSA. I figured nothing would come of it, but you never know. Unlike a lot of things that have never actually happened in the last 20 years, I can now say there's a video chronicling how my radio show came about and what goes into making it. Kevin McMillan worked hard on it, I hope you enjoy it!

> Real Synthetic Audio: 20th Anniversary

In January of 1998 I sat down with a dilemma. I was a club DJ who had a lot of great music to play, but couldn't experiment *too much* in the club. For some reason I wanted to be a radio DJ, and breaking in to the college radio clique wasn't going to happen. So I experimented with creating a "radio show" within my computer and set up a web site to stream it. On Jan 31 1998 the first episode of RSA went online. I had no idea that I'd be still doing it 20 years later. To celebrate this, I present to you a short video that will hopefully entertain you and convey how I feel today. Thank you for your support!
