The Phone Show
« on: March 17, 2009, 08:09:04 AM »
For some strange reason, a guy who runs www.party934.com decided that I should have my own hour-long show each week.  I accepted and did my first one last night.  This is a streaming internet station, but it is also rebroadcast on an actual radio station in Hudson Valley, NY.  They say I can do anything I want, but I'm required to play at least 1 song every 15 minutes.  They're licensed to play commercial music, but are preferring that I play as much independent stuff as possible.

I don't know what to do with it though.  Last night I played a lot of music, broke in every once in awhile and begged listeners to call me so I could put them on the air but nobody did so altalp called in and pretended to be a listener who hated me.  (You were pretending, right altalp??)  I also played a few PLA prank calls in between every couple songs.  I've got my 2 computers set up with Skype so I can take calls on the show, but I guess not that many people are listening at 2am - 3am Eastern time. 

What should I do with this?  Just take calls for an hour?  Play old PLA Radio stuff and prank calls?  Phone-related music?  And I should have a name for the show.  On the stream I called it The Phone Show, which is pretty generic.  I set up a page for it and renamed it to The Bueno Phone Show, but now I'm thinking that sounds pretty retarded.  Give me ideas for next Tuesday morning!

You should all organize a phone mob against me.

Change the name to Cactus Radio, and do live prank calls. At 3 in the morning, I'm sure people would love that! And invite Richard Cardo to be your co-host. Your ratings would go through the roof.

I got all excited because I live in the hudson valley, but I can't pick them up at all. I looked on the FCC web site and it says there's a station broadcasting on 102.5 in some town called rosendale. If thats them then it's kinda way out in the boonies.

I'm having a hard time finding any evidence that this FM station even exists.  Not to mention that the other DJs are playing songs on there at all hours with lots of cursing in them.  I'm told that things are censored as they go on the air.  I have my doubts.  I'm happy enough with the online part of this though.

It'll be every Monday night, 11pm to 12am Pacific.  So I'll be there this coming Monday.  Guess it's not that great of a time slot since a lot of the east coast and midwest people will be asleep.

I intend to stay up to 3 in the morning next week just to hear it. :)

I am literally rolling around on the floor all crazy-like as I laugh.

I was just wondering why my post was missing from The Phone Show thread. I guess I found it...

EDIT: Wait, WTF!? This is The Phone Show thread. I am just out of it tonight.

I put the archives of both shows up at http://www.phonelosers.com/phoneshow/.  Don't listen to the first one because it's nothing but music until the very end when Shana Allsman calls in.  At least you can see what you didn't miss last night though.

I noticed while editing out the commercial music that my mic level was way too high.  Hopefully I'll remember to fix that for next week.

What number do we call to get on the air? I still don't have internets at home (I'm on borrowed time at the moment.) but I've been REALLY active on the bridge lately. I bet between Yetti, Disney and I we can get you kicked off the air.
I HATE the bridge.
