    It would be great to keep things as updated in here as possible. I noticed that not a lot of groups keep a continued discussion about one topic or another but I'll just use this thread to promote a better and revamped feature on our website and that is the videos.

    These are mostly videos from the weekly meetings that take place weekly in our main branches in Los Angeles and Washington DC but it's not limited to that. In there you will find videos from our demonstrations, promotional videos for things like Liberation Newspaper, and so on. Of course you can do a simple search in Googlevideo, Youtube, Vimeo and so on and find older videos by typing in "party for socialism and liberation" or "pslweb".

    At our conference last November, we had a workshop and discussion on creating our own media and using that to build the party along with our constant organizing and activism. Since then, some of the more art savvy comrades in our party have been able to create some really great promotional and easily accessible videos that would perhaps spark interest in the PSL. One of these videos, created by award winning filmmaker Travis Wilkerson, is called "We will be the power" and you can watch it here:

    So yeah. I just wanted to bring this to everyone's attention. I know not too much gets posted often in here.

    How about just making the mp3 version of the talks available? I don't need to watch Sloan or Becker talk for 30 mins, I just need the audio. Plus the videos are pretty big, over 200 mb, while an mp3 file is around 10mb. It's definitely needed for people who have slow connections or limited bandwidth. This is what Workers World does, provide both the video and mp3.

    We offered that a while ago and had an audio section but most of the audio links don't work anymore. It's a good idea I think and you should contact them about it.

    I'm one of the people who has recently started working on the videos. Converting to audio isn't hard. I know we'd like to do something like audio podcasts, but I personally have had difficulty finding a reliable and cost efficient podcast hosting site. I have also noticed that many of the older PSL audio links don't work anymore and I don't want to make the same mistake in hosting files online only to lose them again.

    If anyone knows of any reliable (and preferably free) audio hosting sites, feel free to contact me through PM here or anyone else in the PSL:

    would archive.org work for hosting audio?

    I checked it out...it would and it seems that it's lasted long so it's not going out of business any time soon, but the performance isn't great. It would also be nice to have an iTunes feed.
