Convention week radio is on the air!

Armando and I are on the ground in Charlotte today (currently two separate pieces of ground separated by some 15 miles or so) for special coverage of the 2012 Democratic National Convention. And that means we're going to be juggling a different schedule this week, but bringing you some exciting new stuff. Here's how you can follow along.

Part 1: The Regular Stuff, but from Charlotte

First up, we will attempt to overcome the distance and logistics to bring you an abbreviated morning kick-off Daily Kos Radio's Kagro in the Morning show, from 9-10 a.m. ET, featuring Greg Dworkin in his regular slot, but with his always extraordinary commentary and analysis.

Hear today's shows from 9-12 am ET, right here:The Daily Kos Radio Player

Part 2: The EXCITING, NEW stuff: On SiriusXM!

Then from 12-2 p.m. ET, catch us on Daily Kos Radio LIVE on the SiriusXM Convention Radio channel. That's channel 123 on Sirius, and channel 142 on XM. We'll also air at the same time on SiriusXM Internet Radio on SiriusXM Left Plus, channel 853.

You can even listen in online with a free trial. Listen on your iPhone, iPad or iPod, or your Android-y thing.

Want in on the action? You can call the SiriusXM listener line at: 888-971-0896.

And if you miss our SiriusXM shows, they'll repeat later in the day, from 4-6 p.m. ET on Tuesday and Wednesday, but on Thursday, just our second hour will repeat, from 5-6 p.m.

Next, if all goes well, we're also aiming to bring you a bonus evening hour of Daily Kos Radio broadcasting at 5 p.m. ET, for more discussion and a preview of the upcoming speeches.

Other Ways to Listen to Daily Kos Radio (our 9 a.m. & 5 p.m. shows):

Your options to listen LIVE:

• Click on the embedded Flash player below
• Go to netrootsradio.com and click on the embedded player or direct link there
• Click on this direct link if you need a non-Flash player, say, for iPad or iPhone
• iPad and iPhone users can download the SHOUTCast Radio app for your mobile device & search for "Netroots Radio."
• For Android: try either the "StreamFurious"  or "TuneIn" apps
  
• BlackBerry users, see this guide by idbecrazyif

And here's a new tip: If the player hiccups in between shows, or drops the audio between the shows, just go ahead and stop and restart it, and things should go smoothly after that.

And if you miss the show, or just can't listen live, you'll find podcasts on the Daily Kos Radio group page. Plus, they're downloadable via RSS, or find them on demand at Stitcher.com.

Remember that the "Kagro in the Morning" show is now available via Stitcher.com, meaning you can download their free app on your desktop or on your mobile device, and listen to our podcasts on demand.

You'd be doing us a big favor it you'd download their app on your phone, search for the show, "favorite" it and help us take over the world.

Also new on the tech side is our change in podcasting platforms, which brings with it an easy-to-use RSS feed, which enables you to download podcasts automatically, directly to iTunes. Also, this is the part in our sad, downward spiral where I ask you to Like us on Facebook, may God forgive me.

See you at the convention! Only not really! Because it's radio! Only it's also not actually radio! So forget what I said! Just tune in!
