The Saxon Files, my new radio show

[LadyJessica]

Yea!  I'll be listening!

[Rani Zemirah]

I'll try... although it's kind of a difficult day for it. 

[JackGonzo, MD]

It's the squid king! Straight from hell!

[Rani Zemirah]

Oh, I didn't get to listen to the show today...    I bet it was great, though, as usual!!! 

[JackGonzo, MD]

So I need help folks. This Friday I've agreed to cover the shift after me. This means my show is now SIX HOURS LONG. So I am taking requests if you have any. Cool thing is apparently there's going to be a film crew there and I'm going to be on PBS or some such. Can't worry about that right now, I need to fill a six hour show! lol

[KiltedPrivateer]

Sure wish I could listen.  I'll be stuck in an internet-less testing facility.  No internet radio for me.

And hopefully the web sloths will get the podcast thing up and running before I graduate school in a year and a half lol

[Rani Zemirah]

Oh, wow!!!  How exciting!  Both the extra time slot AND the PBS crew...    What sort of show are you wanting to do?  Will there be a theme?

It's just going to be a regular show. For those that follow the twitter know I pretty much took all the bands/artists the show follows on Twitter and went and bought or put on songs of theirs I haven't played yet. I now have enough for a six hour show. I'm starting with the original show set for the first two hours and then we're jumping into the ones I added last night.

I have no idea what PBS will be doing other than they're doing a segment on the radio station. Lord knows the bosses probably won't let me speak to the media just tapped running the board. I mean, what's so wrong with me talking to the media...hehehe

I check twitter so seldom that I might as well not even be on there...  The format kind of annoys me, actually. 


I'll make sure to listen to as much as I can tomorrow night!!!

Which format Twitter or the show? For the show it has such a wide variety of people who listen I try to keep the styles mixed up a bit, especially for this six hour show. There are listeners who have no desire for "faire" music to people who don't care for nerdcore. On the six hour show if I made solid blocks for the show I'd lose people left and right since the blocks would be so large.

I do have some great songs for tonight, especially one I've been waiting to play that I finally found on iTunes.

I believe she was referring to Twitter.  I dont much care for Twitter either.

(Thread theft in progress)
The use of twitter is highly dependent upon the app you use to access it.  I use TweetDeck for Chrome and I use the built in twitter app on my phone.  Twitter is also useful if you can find people who share the same interests as you and who then share articles and links on that topic.  That is basically all I use twitter for.  One of those interests is the Saxon Files which lets me know when the show is starting and what each set will contain. 

They did go a little overboard the first run out as they tweeted every song.  That can kill a twitter stream.  Glad they got away from doing that (o:

Twitter is not meant to stay in touch with your friends.  For that we have Google Plus and that other service.

I was definitely referring to Twitter!  I LOVE the Saxon Files!!! 

I just don't like being so limited on the number of characters I'm allowed to use when posting.  When I have something to say... it generally can't be said in 140 characters (and spaces) or less.
