A mid-summer Vision Cast packed with a brand-new radio-network launch, more ChatGPT-built audio tools, and a full evening of live acoustic performances that turn into an actual talent-scouting moment. Hosted by Salvis with Rita from Arizona on the mic, and Donald, Veronica, and George holding down the panel. JC sends in pre-recorded audio from vacation and Preston drops in mid-show after another call. Salvis opens with a wry admission that he tried to watch Samsung's Unpacked event that morning and "fell asleep" on it. Rita catches everyone up on the excessive heat warning rolling across the country, and the Texas contingent commiserates on trying to stay cool. Donald then walks the crew through two brand-new screen-reader-friendly 64-bit Windows executables he coded with ChatGPT, building on last week's MP3 DJ story. First is a Wave and MP3 Recorder that captures anything playing on the computer (Spotify, YouTube, streams) at 128 to 320 kbps MP3 or up to 96 kbps WAV and can split songs into separate files. Second is an MP3 Radio Builder that points at a folder of tracks and auto-generates a 1 to 24-hour continuous mix with cross-fades, volume normalization, and jingle injection, ideal for EDM sets, internet radio stations, and DJ playlists. Salvis plays a pre-recorded promo from Preston officially announcing the launch of KSRN, the Crazy Stacey Radio Network. Listeners can tune in 24/7 via Live365 crazystacey25.net . The launch programming block includes Vision Cast, Radio Connection Live on Monday eveningsv at 7 PM Eastern , Music Mayhem with George and Stacey, DJ Cool, and a dedicated Christmas music block for the year-round holiday fans. The Summer Song and Dance Festival keeps rolling with Part 3. JC pre-records a warm birthday medley combining "Happy Birthday to You" and "Feliz Cumpleaños" wrapped in a cheering-crowd effect. Salvis then debuts a full pop-synth song he built in Suno AI called "Shower in the Dark," his direct callback to Veronica's instant-classic bit from last week's show. Veronica takes the virtual stage for a run of live acoustic covers on her guitar (strings a little out of tune from the humidity): Alison Krauss's "When You Say Nothing at All," Patsy Cline's "Walking After Midnight," The Judds' "Mama He's Crazy," Bill Haley's "Rock Around the Clock," and Carole King's "You've Got a Friend." Salvis is so blown away he asks straight up whether Veronica is secretly a famous singer performing under a stage name that the crew just does not know about. Veronica laughs and says "at least not yet." Preston then jumps in with the branding pitch of the night: her first studio album should be called "Songs with a Guitar Pick." Music producers listening in, the crew is telling you outright, we have a talent here. George rounds out the music segment with two of his own pre-produced tracks, including a heavy blues-rock cut titled "Faith" aimed at "people who say they have love for you but they don't." Later, during shout-outs, George pays tribute to his beautiful colleagues Willow, Stacey, and Angela, with a special anniversary note for Stacey timed to when the episode airs. After joining live, Preston walks the crew through the accessibility pages he manages, including his own Tech Nonprofit ZAPS Tech. He shares a big-week update: he got a call from Dan Jublonsky at Transit for All PA, the statewide grassroots organization pushing for more accessible transit. Preston recaps last year's Harrisburg rally, meeting the transit-agency CEO, and the video of that meeting getting a fresh push on social media. He also tracks a Baltimore-area radio-ownership story with a big station sale coming and another K-Love signing on locally. Salvis closes the show with the "Keep technology alive, let your talent shine" line, and Preston caps the entire episode with the legendary tag: "Doodles spilled the milk, but we still clean it up." Keep technology alive, let your talent shine. Recorded 2026-07-22. Hosted by Salvis
