The times for each section below are in Pacific Daylight Savings Time (PDT) for MARCH 10th, and in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) for MARCH 11th. There are many time converters on the Web. Here is just one that will allow you to convert the current time in one locale to that of another – World Time Server. Here’s another one that works well – World Time Buddy

+ Avoid pointing the microphone into the wind. Placing a windscreen over the mic may help. Here is a link to more tips for the best “live-streaming” experience.

+ However, unless otherwise indicated, please avoid using extensive speaking or dialog in these live streams.
