Hi all,

I'm posting this thread to the listserv so everyone can be in on 
these sorts of things. After all, even though I'm the one who got the 
ball rolling, this isn't just my project!

Someone else who wasn't at the meeting has mentioned his interest in 
DJ'ing too. Perhaps a shared arrangement would make life easier for 
all concerned...

This was his message:

>As far as the DJ thing is concerned, I was a DJ in college for a couple of
>years, hosted a prog show and would dearly *love* another crack at it as long
>as I don't get saddled with a "graveyard" type time slot on a weeknight.

The trick is going to be getting a show in the first place!!! I'm 
going to contact WRFG and see what they have to say. It would most 
likely require a commitment from you to be there each week at 
specific hours. I don't what the deal is on pre-recorded shows.

If someone wants to take a crack at WREK or WRAS, have at it! Might 
be difficult since none of us are students. Paul Cashman, who wasn't 
at the meeting but is included in these discussions, has some 
experience with WREK (he works on the show WREKage - metal? goth? I 
haven't heard it so I don't know). His tech-student collaborator is 
about to graduate though, so this might be a dead end. (BTW, for 
those who don't know him, Paul was influential in bringing Spock's 
Beard to Dragoncon and Ozric Tentacles to Variety. He's also involved 
with Progpower)

Whatever happens, I think the actual programming of such a show 
should be a collaborative affair. There are so many genres and 
sub-genres of "prog" that we want to make sure the diversity is 
represented. Also, a good helping of local programming would be cool 
too!
