10 More Shows Until Live Show

There are ten more shows to edit before I begin a weekly live show. I will be editing those shows furiously starting Tuesday and will have them done very soon. Once they are edited and posted you will be able to listen to them. Each show you listen to helps me make some money since ads are inserted into the broadcast. This money helps keep me motivated to run the show.

Once all previously recorded shows are online Radio Firefox will be going live online. This will initially consist of one 15-30 min show each week. The show will cover the latest tech news and Firefox tips. Apple news is being split off into its own show, as will the business news once the Apple show is going well. The Apple show will be called AppleWatch Live and it will be tied in with my AppleWatch blog.

The biggest concern to me is the time of the shows. I will need to set a time that works for both myself and listeners. Whether it be a weekend, beginning of the week, middle of the week, or end of the week. So initially the timeslots will be tentative, and can be changed based on feedback.

Keep checking here for updates and new shows. The shows I have been posting lately have been great, with better production quality. And the new live shows will be even better since I don’t have to play music or break for radio station announcements. TalkShoe rocks.

New Show Posted, Now on TalkShoe

I have finally posted another show from the first season of Radio Firefox. I decided not to post the one after it because there wasn’t much substance to it. That concludes the first season, and I will soon begin posting the last season that was on the air. You will also find new live shows being started before that last season is online completely. So stay tuned.

You will notice that I am now using TalkShoe to distribute my shows, and once my archived shows are up I will be able to host live shows online using TalkShoe. They pay me based on how many people listen to my shows because they place advertising in it. I’m hoping this will allow me to make enough money for it to be worthwhile to keep running the show.

I am also redirecting the podcast feed to the one hosted by TalkShow, so you should have found out about the new show if you are still subscribed to the feed.

Episode 7 of Radio Firefox

Episode 7

This episode is a recording of the Wed, March 23rd show from 12am to 3am. This is the original recording, with minor editing.

In this episode I talk about topics that include: Google Finance, Writely, and more. Writely is now part of Google Docs and Spreadsheets.

April 16 Update: Show recording was overwritten when posting a new one. Will not be up until I can re-edit the show, which could be a while since I am focused on putting up episodes from the second season.

Last On-Air RadioFirefox Show

Tonight’s show will be the last one that is live on-air on WTSR 91.3FM. I wish I had known sooner, and this definitely puts a damper on things.

In the coming month I will be editing my old shows and putting them online. I will also be figuring out a way to run the show as a podcast. It will be live if I can find a way, otherwise it will be pre-recorded. I plan to get better content, more interviews and call-ins from professionals, and keep a consistent schedule (weekly or biweekly).

The show will go on. You can count on that.

New Server, Site Future

If you are seeing this then you are on the new server. Expect the backlog of shows to be uploaded over the next month or so. The live radio show is taking a break until the middle of January, and in that time I will be updating the site and rolling out a few new features.

Live Blogging: November 30th Show

I’m back after a week off. Did you miss me? Of course you did. Tonight I’m going to try something different to manage the playlist and make it available online. I’m going to keep track of it in this post after the break, along with any important updates.

On today’s agenda: Google Spreadsheets, Google Finance historical data, Revenge of the Nerds remake, Amazon, Wheel of Misfortune, TCNJ SGA updates, and more.

I will be working on a better system to keep track of the live playlist more easily. Big changes will be happening from now until mid-January. Hopefully I can get caught up on a lot of things that have fallen to the side, like getting shows online.

Live Blogging the Show: November 16

I’ve decided to try live-blogging tonight’s show, though I didn’t give people much notice. I’ve already talked about some new Google features, and Apple’s iPhone. I am playing some pretty cool music, indie rock with great guitar and drum work. The band is currently Judah Johnson.

9:45PM: You can find the constantly updated playlist here. It will be published officially once the episode airs online. Current show backlog: more than 10 shows need to be edited.

9:49PM: Is it hot in here or is it just me?

9:56PM: First person to find this while I’m still on the air earns a shoutout. Use the contact form.

10:06PM: Just read the time and weather. Added that I am blogging live from the show, giving people a little taste of the show since I have such a backlog of shows to put online. I will provide links when the news warrants them. And the playlist continues to be updated.

10:28PM: People showed up to give a mini-tour. Familiar faces all around.

10:35PM: Covered Microsoft’s Photosynth and KFC’s advertisement that is viewable from space. Photosynth uses tons of photos to create a 3D model after gathering details like window ledges and door knobs. Fairly useless unless you have enough photos, and the IE-only demo isn’t very robust.

11:18PM: Talking with Randy Morin through Gmail’s Gtalk feature. Trying to figure out how I can make a living blogging.

11:22PM: Randy tells me I should get my shows online that day. I should have them all up and not worry about editing. He says people don’t care; everyone thinks they need to edit but look at his blog. He may be right. What do you think?

11:40PM: Went over new clubs, such as Phi Alpha Thea (History Honor Society), Entrepreneur Club, and the upcoming Women in Computing and Science vote. Also mentioned that Finals Fest dates were changed to the last Thursday, Wednesday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. And I am again running the SGA website and will have it updated in a few weeks.
