Saturday's Show

Saturday's Show - Last weekend's Northern Alliance Radio Network broadcast was better than the first one. Everyone's starting to settle down a bit. The first week's show was awash in adrenaline, which causes all sorts of problems. Everyone - myself included - was a lot more relaxed and focused Saturday.

The interplay in the studio during the show is tightening up; people are communicating via hand signals as they listen to phone calls or interviewers, waving a hand to say "I got it" like good outfielders calling a pop fly.

The show's settled into a nice format: First hour is "Week in review", with Rocket Man, Captain Ed and (last weekend) Elder and I chewing over the news of the past week. Second hour we usually have an interview - although, given Big Trunk's facility at snaring interviews, we could probably fill 2-3 hours a week on 'em. Third Hour seems to be devoted to punchier fare; last show, Ed and J.B. Doubtless argued over the merits of The Passion for most of the hour, and drew a one-hour record for phone calls.

Speaking of which - it was great hearing from DC from Brainstorming, who called in during the third hour. Who'll be the surprise blog guest next week?

People keep asking - when will we start streaming the show? Stay tuned - we should have big news on that sooner or later. By that time, we should be fairly decent...
