Radio show update...and info on songs

This upcoming Tuesday will my second time on the radio. This semester, I will be running a weekly, one hour sports talk show with another guy named Victor. It is all part of a requirement for my radio production class. Last week, there were a few glitches but I must say that I enjoyed myself. I may not have the 'radio voice' but it's something that I got into. We discussed the soap opera that is Yankee land, including Jeter and Arod's friendship (or lack of) Bernie Williams, Mariano Rivera's contract status and a bit of Mets starting rotation stuff. The theme of the show ended up becoming RESPECT, which was not planned at all. It was all spontaneous and I liked it that way. We also played some fine rock tunes. It will make a few times to get the hang of all the equipment, but that will come in time.

Tomorrow will be more baseball oriented, specifically Mets, so I should enjoy it. It's the hardest kind of radio to do, talk. I mean, come on, talking a lot isn't my greatest strength. Let's be honest here. But when it comes to these topics, I can not only pull it off but enjoy the challenge. All the knowledge is there. It's just a matter of expression, which is always difficult for certain personalities. But it feels good to break patterns once and a while.

So here's the info for anyone that wants to know. We encourage you to check us out and give us a listen. I burned our first show on CD, and I cringed at hearing my own voice or blunders at a few instances. We may get a myspace up and running which will be dedicated to the show. There, you can HOPEFULLY listen to it or even a podcast? We'll see. I'm trying to think of some unique ides. The only negative is that the college has a great site dedicated to the station, which streams 24/7 but lately, it hasn't been exactly working. But I'll let you know when that problem is fixed. Believe it or not, it goes through bcat too sometimes...Imagine that!! haha

The Victor & Jaime's Sports Hour airs Tuesdays from 1-2pm
1090 AM WBCR Brooklyn College Radio
Streaming live (hopefully again soon) at brooklyncollegeradio.org
Call us if you want to give your two cents... I'll have that for you when the site starts to run again.

Anyway

I'm almost done with the early stages of writing for this thing! LUCID! It's been a long time coming and there's still a long ways to go. But I only have a couple more possible title entries left. THEN I will take those titles and work exclusively with them to write the CONTENT, which is the best part. I feel this works best with what I try to do. I'm hoping for all of them to be done by early May. I want it to be different from the other stuff, or maybe a blend of EVERYTHING I've done before which is different in a way. Funny, serious, tongue and cheek, angry, sad, light hearted, all that stuff. More to write about.

It's been a rough semester. Sometimes you luck out with the draw. This isn't one of those scenarios...Oh well. I'll live and keep trying. Me being a senior really helps and motivates me to continue to try. I think it's time for a change and this is the first time I've felt like this with being where I am lately. It feels time for the next step. I might have written this before. In any nature, I hope you all enjoy work/school/bumming around, whatever! Just love it.

First spring training game on Wednesday with nicer weather on the way! LIGHT!!!!!!!

Peace out, Seacrest.
