Hi there, to make your KDRT show file more interesting, you should click over to the archives and edit the title and description. This makes the show file more appealing to the audience, since they will now know what to expect. It also makes your show easier to find on the internet. Once you have done that, you might want to add a photo. There are two ways to do that. One is to select the "image" icon on the kdrt.org post. Another is to point to a photo already on the internet, say a photo sharing site where you post your own pictures, which gives you more control over how the photo appears using HTML. Here is how: 1. Upload the photo of your choice to an online photo sharing site. Say, flickr.com or something. 2. Get the URL of the photo. Make sure it ends with an image extenstion, such as "YourFileURL.JPG" 3. Log into kdrt.org. Go to your archived show file, of which you should be the author, and click on the Edit tab. 4. Scroll down past the "Title" and "Body" and click on the "Input format" 5. Change the input format to "Full HTML" 6. Now go back to the "Body" and paste this HTML code at the top of the "body" text:

Saint Catherine's Monastery in Sinai, Egypt
was built in the year 550 by the Byzantian Empror Justinian to protect the ancient well of Moses and The Burning Bush.

For the past 17 centuries, the Monastery's monks have taken great care of its ancient manuscripts, art and icons. The Library of St. Catherine's is famous because it has one third of the world's ancient manuscripts that were written more than 1000 years ago. It's museum is equally famous, because only 2000 icons in the world have survived from the Byzantine times; half of them are at St. Catherine's Museum.

We were very privileged to interview two monks from the monastery: Father Justin talked to us about how he digitizes the library's ancient manuscripts and why Sinai is a place of Peace. Father Gregory talked to us about the monastery's ancient art, icons and mosaic art. Father Gregory shared with us his views on how art can save the world and his vision to establish a School for Mosaic Art in Sinai.

Hi there … and welcome to Mountain Mama’s Earth Music … and today a celebration of the desert

1) Horseback in my Dreams, Kelly Joe Phelps 4:21
2) One Morning, Gillian Welch 2:42

The readings today come from the book Desert Solitaire, A Season in the Wilderness; A celebration of the beauty of living in a harsh and hostile land by Edward Abbey

If a man knew enough he could write a whole book about the juniper tree. Not juniper trees in general, but that one particular juniper tree which grows from a ledge of naked sandstone near the old entrance to Arches National Monument

3) Trees, T Nile 4:46

When we think of rock we usually think of stones, broken rock, buried under soil and plant life, but here all is exposed and naked, dominated by the monolithic formations of sandstone, which stand above the surface of the ground and extend for miles, sometimes level sometimes tilted or warped by pressures from below, carved by erosion and weathering into an intricate maze of glens, grottoes, fissures, passageways and deep narrow canyons.
