Episode 135 Delayed
Episode 135 scheduled to be broadcast on March 8th, will be slightly delayed as Edwin continues to recover from the weekend's Neurodance. The delay is expected to be very small, however listeners to Real Industrial Radio will hear a classic episode of ISN today as the new episode will not be ready in time for the 2-3pm PST timeslot.

We apologize to everyone for this delay, and ensure you that Echo will deal with the situation appropriately.

New website design
We're going to be rolling out the beginnings of a totally new website design within the next couple of days. isnradio.com has evolved a lot from its original purpose, which was mainly a place to dump playlists, and all this added functionality has necessitated some reorganization. Over the next few months, much of the functionality is going to be updated and improved.

This means, however, that there may be some slight, temporary glitches along the way. We are doing our best to test everything and make sure it works, but we may not be able to hammer out all the bugs, especially for older browsers like IE 6. If you notice something strange, try reloading the site or clearing your cache. If it persists, please let us know.
