When you become too busy to do everything you want, you have to give up some things. I just did my last radio show at WVCP Sunday. It was almost a year and a half run. It was a very cool experience and gave me (and dave who liked to be my co-host a lot) great experience being on air. We had a great interview with Hector at WLUW the other month when we were in Chicago on tour. Plus, it's just a fun, unique experience. You get to play what you want and speak your mind to dozens (ha, it's actually thousands) of people. Where else but a small town community college radio station do you get callers calling in from the county jail or someone who is drunk putting up their christmas tree and just got home from working at walmart where she hates her trainer asking for a song that is gibberish? Where else can you play your friends' bands (and yours of course ;) music and introduce people to a new style of music they've probably never heard before (one caller called in and when I told him I wouldn't play the pop punk song he requested he said, well, I don't know any of this "hipster music"). Where else can you advertise the indie music community's shows and new releases? WVCP, that's where.
I was just looking at my DJ playlist in itunes and it defines my favorite bands/songs from the last year (and beyond). I like having sountracks to my life and that period will be remembered by that music.
Well, it was a fun run and I felt I had to pay homage to that unique experience I just had so when I'm 80 and have had a million cool unique experiences, I won't forget this one.
Now, on to exciting things with the band and my life coaching & public speaking career. Things are manifesting like crazy.
I plan on still having a talk radio show and will likely do a 1/2 hr weekly show on blog talk radio. I might do a podcast too.
I'll keep the same radio show page on facebook for my future internet radio show, so like my page and I'll keep you updated. Megan Rox's Indie Rox Show
