Even in the Future Nothing Works

This was a frustrating past few days. The Sunday show had to be postponed because the Blog Talk Radio network went down; my wife kept me up all night with Christmas stuff and so by the time we got to Monday night I was half tired, not to mention that seconds before we went live, the music we uploaded disappeared temporarily. I know in showbiz you are supposed to go with the flow, which I tried to do bit wow, am I annoyed.

On top of which, the show has about a 10 minute delay at the beginning where I was testing the sounds and didn’t think I was on the air, but apparently I was. As near as I can tell, the network started recording me before my scheduled time, which not only includes the sound test but also me going to the bathroom – color me embarassed. If you listen to the show, bare with it, for a while, eventually things go right.

Despite all of the technical difficulties the music did play and the show did go on. Overall it was a good show. Last week’s numbers hit an all time high and according to the Host Liason of Blog Talk Radio, I’m one of the more listened to shows, so things are looking pretty good and hopefully, even on a different night, the numbers will continue to be high.

Here are the segments:

Incidentally, through the entire sound test, the music worked just fine and had I known I was being recorded, I would have started the show with that knowledge.
