Radio Blogs up and running!
This Thursday, May 1st, at 9am PST/12EST, will be our first official Live Internet Radio Broadcast!! A few of you listened to our test show last week (which was very spur of the moment) ; it went very well, so we are looking forward to a great conversation this week.
The technology we are using is called BlogTalkRadio (BTR). It’s an internet service that provides the phone line, the recording archives, etc. We call in on our phone lines, and when the show starts, our broadcast will also start playing on the BlogTalkRadio webpage as well as being saved in the archives. We can take callers live and a chat room is also provided.
In the future, we’ll be on Itunes. For now, you have three options. You can listen in live, and even call in your questions on-air or send them over our BTR chat line which will be up and running while we do the show. When you, the listener, calls in, you will be placed on hold until one of us is ready to take your call. We can only see the first 4 people waiting in the queue at once, and all we will know about you is your phone number, so feel free to drop a line on the chat line while you are waiting, saying who you are.
Second, you can go listen to archives on the BTR website, give them a rating, and offer us comments about the show. Lastly, you can download our shows and transfer them to your ipod or other mobile device for later listening. For future shows, we encourage you to send us comments, questions you would like answered, or feedback on how to improve future shows.

Hope to talk to you soon!
