OK, Time's a'wastin' - I need to find 3 or 4 more Progressive/Liberal potential radio hosts before

[IrishAyes]

the end of the month, not to mention the potential end of my blooming producing career.

Raw talent will be considered in addition to proven professionals for an internet radio gig on a new 24-hour global call-in station through a new web portal (TSAWC.com) to be opening later this month. I don't do the actual hiring or contract negotiations, but I've been told to fill the slots on 'To The Fire' however I wish. So I'm the portal to the portal, if you like.

TTF will focus on government accountability and consumer protection. If anyone thinks I'm about to unleash more conservatives on this suffering world, they've got another think coming. I'm strictly no-quarter in that respect.

So far I've been blessed with two sterling candidates to pass on to the front office, but I'm asking each and every one of you to look around and see if there's someone you know or know of who'd make a good candidate. Give a fellow liberal/progressive a hand up in the world. Maybe even a well-seasoned pro who currently imagines him/herself in early retirement and could be persuaded to re-enter the fray. Categories the roster curently lacks are millenial and minority.

I do plan to start contacting the communications departments of various colleges and universities, but I need help from the DU community as well. I'm not selling any product or service at all - just trying to promote the general well being of the world by countering conservatism in any way I can.

So take a look at the portal's website, decide what you think about it, and if there are any hot radio host prospects with a little extra time on their hands, PM my DU mailbox. I'm not looking for flaming radicals, just reliable folks who are progressive/liberal. Thanks for any help you can give me. We want to go live at the end of the month, and I don't want to be standing there with egg on my face because I dragged my feet.

3. Best Of Luck...

...I've worked with Internet radio since before the beginning...the mid 90s. It has tremendous promise but it's still got a bit to grow. Hope you get your station/network organized and find an audience and the way to financial sustain what you're doing...

4. I hope this works for you for selfish reasons; I'm having a tough time finding an alternative to NPR

especially Koch-ee Roberts and the rest of that Morning Edition crew.

Also, for what it's worth, personally I would rather pay a reasonable monthly or annual subscription as an alternative to being subjected to 35 minutes of commercials in an hour.

6. Splitting my sides laughing about that term 'Koch-ee Roberts'! Spot on.

Sad to say, she deserves it. Much of NPR has been drifting too far to the right or at least center-right for my taste.

5. Thanks, everyone - for your encouragement and help.

LET'S TURN THE WORLD BLUE!

8. Thank you.

I'd be lost w/o such wonderful encouragement and help. The Repugs can do all they want to divide and conquer - we know the value and critical necessity of pulling together, and WE shall overcome. The last few of them left someday will be asking "Did anybody get the number of that bus?"
