Two Ducks and a Pollywog

What's up in the land of Ducks and Pollywogs?

2011-06-02T23:45:00.000-07:00

Here's pretty much what has been going on with me, this old radio show and this station since my last post of over a year ago.

I started getting unwell, and was able to do my show less and less frequently. Eventually I was diagnosed with cancer, and spent a year kicking a tumor's ass. Luckily, as I was starting to get better, RadioBoise got the green light to begin broadcasting and I was able to get the show back together without much difficulty. I still have some trouble, but things have been getting more stable.

This blog was mostly playlists from shows. There were a whole lot of shows I never managed to post playlists for; the logs were written on paper, and I never seemed to have the time to type them up. Now we're using a service called Spinitron that handles (among other things) the logging of songs during the shows. Now it's a little pointless to even post the logs on here anymore, so I'll probably only do it once in a while. If you're here for a playlist that seems to be missing, check here .

The really exciting thing is that I'll have vastly more listeners, and much more reason to post supplemental information about the stuff I play. Feel free to use the comments if you have any questions about the music, or whatever else.

This was a relearning experience.

Today is a day for celebration. The studio is so abuzz that things are falling off the walls, or else that's just the bass rumble from the Bouquet next door. Recently the FCC has blessed us with 89.9 FM. That means we'll be jiggling the airwaves over Boise, and soon hopefully. As soon as we raise tons of money for a transmitter, that is. Look out KBSU, get ready for Dueling Pledge Drives!
