Need some feedback from all y'all. About a month ago, I was asked to host a radio talk show for a local station in Prescott. As many of you know, I already do a radio show, not about herbs but about fantasy sci-fi books and authors, called The Dragon Page. The station in question was running our other show and had a 30 minute weekend slot to fill. Sounded like fun, so I said yes.
Fast-forward a few weeks, and the program director that offered me the show has lost her job, and my other show has lost a station. Ouch. But hey, I've grown used to playing the curve balls tossed at me by the Universe.
So now I'm at a crossroad. I'm pretty jazzed about the idea for the show, but have no station to air it. I've already acquired a domain name (weedsofchange.com) and a space to host the info from the show. I'm seriously considering recording a couple of shows and putting them up on the site for download, hoping to get a station or network interested.
So whadda ya think? Something I should do? Or shelf it for now...? Oh, I suppose it would help to cover the premise of the show. I want to interview a guest each week and spend the first half of the show talking about their specialty. Authors, cottage manufacturers, teachers and hosts of other herb-related guests come to mind. The second half would be dedicated to exploring that guests particular "passion" or calling. I want this to get a bit neo-political and somewhat controversial!
I think you should try it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. But what do I know? I am just your Mom. Love you.

Hey - we still gotta get together sometime, but I have run out of Raisinette and haven't started another batch yet. But I do drink plain old wine from 'time to time'. What say?
Oh and the show - yeah, do it! At least you'd have a demo all ready to send when the networks come looking for you.
