I’ve been working on a proposal for a Real Joe radio show and it’s starting to look doable. There’s a guy here in Northfield who’s got radio production experience and a professional studio in his house. Yesterday, he agreed to be the producer for the pilot.
I’ve got two other guys possibly interested in helping co-host the pilot, guys with great voices, artistic sensibilities, and who both know how to be funny on purpose – stuff I’m short on. They’re also husbands and fathers and seem to living their values. I’m pitching the show to a couple of media outfits and thus far, one has expressed interest in providing seed money for the pilot. I don’t know shit from shinola about radio, but guys I’ve talked to who do know radio think that this is a good idea to pursue. Whatever happens, it’s likely to be both very interesting and a lot of fun.
I’m out of cash, tho, so I’m hanging out my online moderating shingle. I pitched a 1-3 month contract last week and should hear this week on it. It’ll give me some breathing room.
