Our shows will be a lot of fun.  We welcome you to listen in.  Our special upcoming "Open Mic Night" will be a blast!  You can also check out our "Audio Library" if you miss a show, (which is currently under construction.)  Come join us for the kick-off debut with Rich on BlogTalkRadio.  You can register by CLICKING HERE, it's FREE.  Or just call the number below, it's that easy, we'd love to have you "On The Air" with us.  The phone number is (347) 677-1643.  "Making a Difference, One Voice at a Time!"

Great show today - I have it in my weekly calendar.  I had posted a question here about phoning in since I am not always at my computer.  Since you took questions from callers and many were not there when you did, I am wondering if you can distinguish those of us who are just listening from those that may have questions . . . just a thought.

Hey everyone, the show went ok for our Real First Radio Talk Show, Rich was awesome!  I love that guy, his heart really is in the right place.  Thanks to Jeremy for getting in on the call and helping me figure out some of the technical sides of Talk Radio. (haha) 

We have some great guests and topics coming up so I hope you'll tune in when possible, we'll get better like fine wine in time. 

Next week I got Jon, Bob, Rich and Myself answering AR member questions, this one will be a blast for sure. 


Thanks so much for supporting this idea and being part of this new endeavor.  Watch for my next post on how you can get more out of these shows in the future and why we think this will be a great platform for sharing and delivering information and valuable content.  The Goal:  "Making a difference, one voice at a time!"

Wish I had the time to comment to each of you, ya'll know how I am, but I just can't tonight, I have to get ready for the Webinar series starting at 10:00am in the morning.  Thanks for understanding, normally I would try to return each and every comment, but now days, Blogging Keeps Me From BLOGGING

Cathy - I am working out the bugs.  If you call in, you can listen, but I may unmute you and bring you live.  If you just want to listen to the show, I would do it on the computer without calling in.  Those who call in usually want to talk or participate.  I'll get it all worked out, this is Brand new so it may take a couple times to get Rain Radio polished and running smoothly. 

Thanks for the thought, your suggestions, ideas, critisims, and concerns, they are always welcomed and appreciated.  :-)

I really appreciate all your support and help with this, it wouldn't or couldn't be what it is without you.
This entire idea was born in a day, created in the second day, put together the third day, and on the fourth day went live!  No where else but here on ActiveRain could have pulled that off in such short of a time.

Kudos to the following:

Mara & Debe -
for all the Call Sign ideas, those were all great!!  (Debe, I don't think HOAR would go over well) LOL~

Gena Reide -
Came up with RAIN, that must have taken her hours to think of that one, (*hehe) I liked it, it's the one.

Marti Garaughty -
The Blog Artist and design/graphic KING for designing our Rain Radio logo. Thanks my friend...

Bob Sokoler -
For an awesome introduction recording to the new radio show.  That mans voice is incredible! :-)))))

 


ActiveRain has and always will be the BirthPlace of new ideas, collaborations, and the bonding place of greater, deeper, and more meaningful relationships. I love my job and I love this place! Thanks to you all.

hey Brad, RAIN is perfect... why was I thinking the radio stations had to begin with K or W?? I was in the box with that one... THANK YOU for the BOOBY prize that I'll take anyday ;-) Seriously, very sweet. This was fun! And the show is exciting, which I missed yesterday as I SOLD a house to a Buyer who found me on AR... bonus, bonus, everywhere!

BRAD, Although I missed the your first show, I will hopefully get to listen to a recorded link. Yesterday was a 14 hour day for me with 2 buyers and 2 offers late into the night. I BET YOU were GREAT and so sorry that I missed Sparky.

I am thrilled that you chose RAIN for call letters.  I feel the LOVE!
