What is the Deuce Project?

The Deuce Project is a program that has been running on 89.1fm in Kalamazoo for about 10 years. We play music that contains references to sci-fi, science, mathematics, or anything in that vein. The songs' connection can be via the lyrics, band name, song name, album name, or sometimes just the general aesthetic of the song. Please enjoy. [Banner Image: 1947 by Aurorabomb]

Download Help

How to Download Podcast Tutorial:


A couple of readers have expressed confusion regarding how to download the megaupload links. Thus, I decided to put this quick tutorial up to make things clearer to everyone.


Step 1:

Click the link from the Deuce Project Blog

Step 2:

You will now see this screen:
megaupload 1st page

Enter in the 3-letter code into the field located to the left of the the orange “Download” button. Then click on the orange “download” button.

Step 3:

Here seems to be where the confusion occurs. Many people have noted that nothing happens after they click the download button. This is not entirely true, but the confusion is understandable. After clicking the first “download” button, you will be presented with the following screen:

megaupload 2nd page

I have added a red box to the picture in order to shift your attention to the important part of the screen. This second column is a countdown that, once completed, will present you with the REAL download button. I think most people were getting to this screen and then simply not understanding why the podcast was not downloading. The trick is that you have to wait until the countdown reaches zero. After it does the screen will look something like this:

megaupload 3rd page

Again, I have added the red box to the picture for illustrative purposes. Now, when you click on this grey “free download” button, the podcast will actually download.

I hope this has cleared up any confusion you might have had. If you have further questions or concerns please shoot me an e-mail at TheDeuceProject@gmail.com and I will be happy to help you out.
