Week 1 done. More Fun To Come!

This sure is an exciting adventure that we've begun. 20 years ago this wasn't even possible. A show like ours being able to reach a worldwide audience without a broadcast station. It couldn't be done. I was working at a tiny radio station in Massachusetts at the time. I recall going to work and being excited that perhaps 500 people may tune in to my show. I do cautiously say "PERHAPS". The reality of the situation is that it may have been less. But thanks to technology we now get to reach a worldwide audience on our terms. Millions of potential listeners and No boss breathing down our neck. No format to follow. Just some crazy fun. Incredible!

We'll be taking a couple of days off to upgrade some sound equipment and to promote the show as well. This first week has basically been a test run so that we could get used to the feel of things around here. 5 shows in the can so far. This is just the very beginning of something great.

Obviously we don't have many "followers" (as they are called around here). Blogger.com gives all the blogs that name. If I could change it I would. Maybe calling them "Maniacs" would be better. At least that's funny. Oh well, Life goes on. In any event, We've done Zero show promotion. Other than a few message board postings, nobody even knows that we exist. I've checked the stats and about 20 different people a day have been checking us out. Big Deal you may say. I certainly agree. Nobody in their right mind is going to brag about 20 listeners a day. However those numbers will soon be multiplying big time. But for now I appreciate the listeners that we do have. Every one of you counts and I thank you for tuning in. You'll soon be joined by thousands more. Then we will see how far we can go from there. The sky is the limit and we hope to make our mark.

As you visit this blog also keep in mind that you don't see many comments for the simple reason that all Anonymous comments are blocked. I saw widespread abuse of the comment section on another blog. People simply posted multiple messages as anonymous. So in the end there ended up being a blog that looked like it had a lot of visitors, but in reality it's the same 5 people posting over and over and over and over again. That's worthless to me. I want to get to know our real audience. We do not want to to deceive you people by attempting to make it look like we have a lot of fans if we don't. We also don't want this to be a place where people argue and fight. That's not what this blog is about. It's about broadcasting our show. Therefore we require you to sign your name or at least have some kind of blogger ID if you want to make a comment. For the rest of you, we will soon be offering several other ways to send anonymous comments our way. We just don't want to jam up our page with them.

OK... well that sums it all up for now. Studio upgrade and Show Promotion this weekend. Enjoy the nice weather! We'll be back with new shows in a couple of days.
