Adventures on the IE Coffee Radio Show
Saturday morning I woke up earlier than normal to appear on the Inland Empire Coffee Radio Show with hosts Cliff and Ralph at 9 a.m.
For those of you who have not listened in, the show spends a half hour on coffee talk and another half hour on local music coverage.
Ralph, the host of the music portion, asked me to come on the show and talk about my column in the Facts and the Local Music Scene.
As my first radio experience I was not quite comfortable with random chatter until I got to talk about music.
I gave Ralph three tracks from three different bands to play on the show, all of which received strong and positive feedback from listeners who were chatting online about the “good jams.”
First I played Waiting for Decay’s “Enemies,” then Shoppy’s “Sua” and “Pianos” by Phoenix and the Turtle.
The station owner, Fred, called in at one point asking if I happened to be affiliated with any other radio stations. I quickly let him know this was my radio debut and he quickly offered me my own show. Crazy.
Well, public radio costs money, but Ralph is stoked and is sending a letter to Fred to see if he and I could get a deal.
Whatever the case may be, Cliff and Ralph want to me to appear of the IE Coffee show once a month. I will be appearing next month on June 9.
The show is streamed live online. So if you haven’t heard me say enough about music, check out it out.
