As the notice in the sidebar on the left indicates, the next show will be this coming Tuesday morning/Monday night. It falls smack dab in the middle of the annual WHPK pledge drive. For those of you who are NPR listeners, you know the drill: along with the typical programming, you’ll be inundated with impassioned pleas to support non-commercial media. Expect, therefore, to hear me doing my share, being down for the cause, taking one for the team or (substitute your own favorite expression here).
The show won’t consist entirely of pleading, of course. There’ll be the usual amount of ECI-approved music. This time out, you can expect to have your ears tickled by Trembling Blue Stars, Andrea Echeverri (of Aterciopelados), GusGus and other purveyors of sonic confections....
But a pledge drive just wouldn’t be worth a damn unless there were premiums. Mine is a modest one: a CD containing mp3 recordings of the five shows I have recorded to date. So, if you’re in the listening area and have been unable to tune in to the show, now’s your chance to do so and make it matter. Each caller who pledges something, anything, to the station during my show will receive this little gem. I slaved over the design for the booklet—which bears a striking resemblence to the theme for this page (created for blogger.com by Todd Dominey of Dominey Design, Atlanta).
So mark your calendar, listen, enjoy, call, give up something to keep shows like mine on the air, and get to relive the best (and worst) moments of my latest foray into radio programming....
