Talking talk radio
Oct. 11th, 2006 09:30 amIn the context of 'stuff like this just happens to me', we've been offered our own radio show. It's on a net-based radio station, 'broadcasting' in the UK and the US (and anywhere else, for that matter - their webmaster is based in Chile).
It's being set up by a guy who wants to establish Glastonbury Radio - he already runs a stream of other radio stations and this show will be specifically esoteric. The first programme will probably go out around midnight in early December and run once a week. Working title is the Witching Hour, which is highly unoriginal but, OTOH, does what it says on the tin.
I'll probably be doing the brunt of the first show because one half of us can't talk very well at the moment, but more as and when - they still need funding, so we may find that the project gets abruptly curtailed.
It's an odd thing to happen - I am a radio listener (I listen to far more radio than I watch TV) and have done a reasonable amount of it over the years, for both local and national radio, but I've never considered having my own show. (For someone with a degree in AI, I am such a non-tech head that I still call it the 'wireless.') The people involved have been chasing us, however. So why not?
It'll probably be like a broadcast version of this LJ, but without added Dog.
