What about "DU Radio on AAR"?

[maveric]

Do you think we can make a deal with AAR to have DUers on the air discussing some of the saner topics on our board?

Matcom and Catwoman doing a "point-counterpoint" sort of format, with Will Pitt as moderator(straight man and referee). A Plaid Adder segment, and of course LBN.

I believe that we could crank out a kick-ass program!

[Eric J in MN]

1. Those people could do an mp3 if they want without Air America's help (nt)

nt

[LiberalVoice]

2. We could...I would kill to be a progressive talk radio host. nt

[Bluzmann57]

3. Good Grief! DU on the radio?

Probably better keep out the General Discussion Forum. Yeah, why not? It'd be all right.

[maveric]

11. And could probably muster up "special guests" segments.

Maybe Howard Dean, John Kerry, or Cynthia McKinney would call?

[Rosco T.]

4. Sounds like a good weekend program to me! n/m

[Midnight Rambler]

5. I would think that any radio program connected with DU

Would probably have to be hosted by Skinner, Elad, and EarlG. But a Plaid Adder segment is a good idea, and the Top Ten Conservative Idiots every Monday.

[maveric]

7. And "Kleeb with Sports".

[mzmolly]

9. I think we should rotate?

;)

[maveric]

17. We DO have some characters here.

And some very intelligent, concerned Americans.

[mzmolly]

18. Indeed.

Quite a long list of awesome intelligent folk ~ who love to chat.

:hi:

[maveric]

20. Someone should e-mail them with a proposal.

Someone who's not vocabularically and grammatically retarded like me.

[mzmolly]

22. Or me.

;)

[maveric]

23. Will ya puleeze mzmolly? Good Golly!

[mzmolly]

25. Oh no, I was commenting on my inability to spell or articulate.

You said:

Someone who's not vocabularically and grammatically retarded like me.

And I said "Or me."

BTW, your not vocabularically or grammatically retarted but I certainly am! :crazy:

[maveric]

26. We may rival each other in that category. LOL!

But dont you think that DU radio is a good idea?

[mzmolly]

31. I love the idea.

:hi:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

29. Thanks.

:blush:

[maveric]

30. Are you GAME?

What the hell!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

46. I'm totally qualified.

I've got a mug built for radio.

[goclark]

39. I love the idea...passionate Democrats

that know their facts and are not afraid to say what they believe.

It would be refreshing to hear from DU members.

8. I actually serious about this!

We need to further educate the listening public of what atrocities and bullshit is going on.

[Stinky The Clown]

13. My wife and I have spoken about this.

B'lieve me, our banter is salable. And we're cute, too.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3753833

I know you're serious.

[kliljedahl]

Keith’s Barbeque Central

[janx]

14. !!!!!!!

:rofl:

[libnnc]

10. I think it's a great idea n/t

[maveric]

16. If I'm not mistaken we do have radio and media people on board?

HeyHey for one.
We could pull this off and make it informative and fun!

[Pab Sungenis]

15. It's not AAR, but....

...WBCQ shortwave has really cheap rates for weekly hours and half hours. They've carried my show for five years now.

[shadowknows69]

19. I've done 7 years of professional radio

let me at it. :hippie:

[maveric]

21. LETS DO IT!!!

[shadowknows69]

24. [e-mail]

if anyone wants to bat around some ideas.

[OETKB]

27. Those taking this seriously

The <freepress.net> has a toolkit for those interested in powering up their own radio station with low power bandwidth. This has a 3 to 5 mile radius, and requires an investment of about $25,000. At first flush a lot of bread for some of us, but not if one can raise cash "with a little help from our friends."

[maveric]

28. Unless AAR sees this as a business venture?

34. Alright! We're moving now!

I'm sure we can get adequate sound effects.

[MelissaB]

33. I'm a believer!

You guys are talented.

[Triana]

35. Will Pitt should be a Regular on AAR and...

...a DU segment would be awesome! Plaid Adder too and LBN..hell yea. Great idea! This is how left-wing media is born, baby!

WOOO! Somebody contact AAR before I do it myself. SSSSKIIIINNNNEERRR! Somebody wake him up! ELAD!!!! Helloooooooo??

:applause:
:woohoo:

[eridani]

36. What about podcasting?

Spread enough downloadable stuff around to create a market.

[maveric]

37. Thats a good start!

We'll get a portfolio to present to AAR.

[symbolman]

38. Takebackthemedia.com did this for a year

and recently restarted with our memorial day show where we flushed a bible down the toilet (it isn't real by the way) and caught all kinds of crap from some of the new folks here..

But we'd be happy to sign on - we know how to do it with people in different time zones, Stranger is in NYC and I'm in Hawaii, yet it sounds just like we're in the same room.

We could share the technique at least.

I also know some folks at AAR as well. We bring up the DU on our show all the time and quote folks as well, good idea :)

[maveric]

40. Isnt Progmom in the radio business?

There are a few more IIRC.

[NightOwwl]

41. That 5-second delay button will get a workout....

when Catwoman is on the air. :evilgrin:

[maveric]

42. Will Matcom say "Catwoman, you ignorantt sl*t"?

No offense intended Catwoman.

[JanMichael]

43. For fucks sake we've ALREADY got a DUer on major radio!

Why AA hasn't signed Guy James yet is a mystery to me. They seem to like snarky types like that dude from the Dakotas so why not a cool dude from SW Florida where exposure REALLY matters?????????

They dig the guy that can switch political skins in the unpopulated desert but ignore the true BLUE fighter in the heart of dense and important SW Florida?????

[me b zola]

44. I love the idea!!!

Was wondering when someone would mention it!

[maveric]

45. I'll check the AAR site and e-mail them.

It'll be good exposure and fun.
