On my dog and pony radio show I’ve been plugging a number of things lately. It won’t last but none the less I do feel the need to get the word out about some things that are going on with me and TalkRadioX.
One of those things is this here blog that I’m typing in right now. So last night when I bring it up, my lovely wife and co-host Jessica says something to the effect of, “Oh yes, I love the blog. It’s so much fun trying to figure out what you mean.”
What? This kinda threw me. It’s not like I’m talking quantum physics here so obviously she means something else. Apparently this blog is full of missspellings and fragments and all sorts of things that would give your old 10th grade English teacher fits.
To this fact I must admit to being oblivious. Perhaps the fact that I don’t proof read or edit or do anything really to these entries isn’t the best thing in the world. Maybe a little more attention to detail should be coming into play here. At the very least I promise to use the damn spellchecker at the top. So yeah, I’m an idiot. And if you are one of the five people who read this blog then I apologize for being one. I’ll still be an idiot after today, however I will attempt to be a more careful idiot. Not always easy to do.
In other news today is Friday. This used to mean that I was TRX free for the night and trust me I would rarely be around internet radio on a Friday night. Then a few weeks back I got the idea for the Open Mic Night, a side project for TalkRadioX and viola! Now Fridays are booked! Just like Sunday-Thursday! What’s next? Divorce papers?
Now don’t get me wrong, I love doing the Open Mic Night show. In fact I think it’s one of the best things we have on the station. It’s live and unpredictable. Great programming if I do say so myself. And personally I think for TalkRadioX we’re going to need some different kind of programming in order to stand out from all of the other upstart talk stations out there.
It’s not much work for me. Just sit in a coffeehouse, turn on my laptop and point the mic at the stage. I add in a little descriptive comment here and there. But that’s the extent of it. And a room full of people hear a TRX plug when host Renda announces that we are now broadcasting on TalkRadioX. Everyone wins. Except for my free time. That kinda takes a hit on this.
For example, tonight Jessica is going up to West Palm Beach because a friend of hers is having a house party. So this is something that I would be attending normally. However because I’m now committed to the Open Mic Night she’s going solo on this. And to make it worse she’s gotta take the Tri-Rail to get up there (Taking the Tri-Rail is kind of like taking the subway, only there’s no tunnels). I will drive up and get her at midnight once the broadcast is finished. Further proof that I am an idiot, but at least I married right. What other woman is going to be so damn understanding?
