First Five Weeks Of Radio: Yes, It Was Awesome

Hello fellow muses! If you didn't read the previous post, I have a radio show, and it is called 'Cooler Than Real Life'. Pretty awesome eh? It is supposed to encourage people to go out into the world and find new music! Or at least listen to the radio again...

If you are reading this and you are a listener- THANK YOU!!! You don't know how much it means to me to know that I'm not talking to myself for an hour, and I promise to do my best to make CTRL the best it can be. I ask only two things of you, and you can even choose one out of the two.

1) Call in. Really, this helps me know that people are listening, and therefore, you can prevent me from rambling (sorry about that). The number is 304-341-7441, and I won't/can't put you on air, so now you can't make anymore excuses about not calling. Pros- You can request a song. Epic(ness).

2) Tell your friends. This one might be a little harder, because you don't want to sound like a walking advertisement. I get that, that's why I'm asking you as a friend (via radio) to just mention how you listen to this great music program. However, if you don't like the show, don't rag please. I won't like you for it, you sound lame, and why are you even still listening in the first place???

Thanks guys. Stay cool.
