well it's over and i had one caller, but it was the first run on a station that has very little listener participation. we'll do it again thursday and just keep pluggin away

l8r on

that's very awesome.  is there any way to stream it online so we can listen in and call?

Jason

Yes I'd like to listen in as well.

Can you get it through xm?

Hey, that's pretty cool, dude!  Next thing you know, you'll be syndicated and all over the airwaves like "Car Talk."

First off, thatnk you for the support. As of right now, we are not going to stream the show because it is based on listener participation. if they don't call i play music. If I am playing music we can't stream, we don't pay for that. If I can get enough people to call in or to interview then yes, i will be streaming it over the net. So as of right now, no but in a few more weeks, I hope to. I will keep everyone posted on what is happening with the show. I really hope it takes off!

thanks again,

Brendon,

Just an idea.  The local thing wouldn't work for most of us.  How about creating a topic for discussion a day or two before the call in show (is that 8:20 EST?).  Choose topics of NATIONAL interest, especially ones with controversy.  For example Lucky Craft versus Rapala is it worth it?  You could ask opinions of callers, or serve as moderator between two anglers with differing viewpoints.  We've all got our strong opinions and our stories (you could be the Jerry Springer of angling).  The problem I foresee with this format is some of us would be reluctant to repeat what might have already been said, since we don't have the opportunity to listen to the show, but your questions could steer the callers away from this happening.  Good luck with the show.

O.k, So here is the idea that I am working on for next tuesday.

The main topic is going to, of course your fish story, but the secondary topic will be river verse lake. I know this is a broad topic, but I really think it needs to be broad so I can get the callers involved. The way it will flow is, i will start out with my recent trip, which will probably be a short trip to a local river or stream, or maybe the trout park. I will tell the listeners about what I used where I was and how I did. Now if I get a few callers, then I will prod them into telling me why they prefer, fishing on rivers and streams or out on the lake, then get them to tell me why.

So the show will be on at about 8:20 PM cst. it will not be streamed yet due to the fact that I will be using music as filler. So if you all would care to be involved, there are ways for me to do this. You can e-mail me through this site and i will reply. Thanks again.
