Dear Friend and Reader: Welcome to Planet Waves FM’s coverage of the 2012 United Astrology Conference in New Orleans, which is was held May 24 through 30. What follows is a series of interviews with conference attenders and presenters. By the time we’re done there will be about 25 of these interviews posted here as well as on a parallel site at Planet Waves FM. In effect what we’ve created is a parallel conference that is available to everyone.

Short edition astrology program (20 mins): Conversation with Stevie Jay (1 hour 5 mins): Today’s edition of Planet Waves FM is standing in for Daily Astrology. The program is in two parts — a short summary of the astrology leading into Sunday’s annular eclipse of the Sun, and then an interview with a performance artist named Stevie Jay. I’ll be back with a bit more commentary in the morning.

Good morning — Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to do an edition of Planet Waves FM this week. I plan to be back Tuesday night (usually, Wednesday at 12:01 am EDT) with a new edition.

Today’s edition of Planet Waves FM is doubling for daily astrology (which is covered in the first 15 minutes of the program).
