Since then I’ve become a father, finished the podcast, and had the help of a few generous friends to sift through all that footage. I’m excited to tell you that we are almost at the end of that part of the process! We have almost logged the 60 hours of new footage and I am capturing it to my computer as I write this! Soon we will be able to begin editing the EPILOGUE to the podcast which is the first step toward eventually working on a longer format piece.

Below are a few pictures of a recent “footage day” we had to help get this video into the computer so we can show you what happened on our most recent trip (which does not seem like it was 6 months ago)! I can’t wait for you to see it and share with you the awesome experience we had back in March!

Here are some pics of people volunteering to log tapes:

A special thanks to Luke, Joey, Parrish, Rachael, and Casey for volunteering their time to help get this footage ready to edit!

See you all back here soon!

Needless to say–we are excited about what lies on these tapes and can’t wait to see how the next phase of this project will progress! I will keep you all up to date online through our congocast.org blog as we work on turning this project into some longer format pieces – so stay tuned to the website as things are developing!

Hopefully we will be able to get the Epilogue online soon (with footage from our most recent trip in March!), so watch out for that as well…

AND if you haven’t had a chance to check out Episode 17, you can watch it here, and don’t be afraid to embed it in your Facebook or MySpace page – we want to keep getting the word out about the DR Congo!

If you have never downloaded the podcast in this way – now is a great time to check it out. You can download all of the episodes to your iTunes library and convert them in iTunes to sync with your iPod or iPhone to take on the go and share on the road!

TUNE IN | CHANGE THE WORLD

Evan & The Congocast.org Team

Synopsis: As the first election in 46 years looms on the horizon – Robin and Wendy stay up all night to watch history in the making. However, the election ends with a run-off – leaving the country without a president. The need for a government is no more evident in the DRC than the east – a place central to the continued violence. The women of this region have been profoundly effected by this war, however, as Robin and Wendy deepen their relationship with one group of Rape survivors – they find that healing may still be something that the Congo can experience.
