PCLIVE!  

Now that the show is coming along nicely without technical glitches and we have a format that works for us, the next step is to work on promotion and advertising.  Obviously we have the blog and the MySpace page but I’m also going to be spending time on message boards to promote the show as well.  I am certain that eventually this show will catch on and we will be a big hit.  In the meantime, I thought this was another fun show and I’m having a blast hosting it.

I probably could have done an entire hour on the State of the Union analysis and I bet so could my callers.  It’s one of those topics that can write itself in the sense that there was no way I couldn’t talk about it.  In a five segment show there’s always one that is a must have, which is fine with me.  I’m sure as the year progresses there will always be one segment I have to talk about with regards to politics.

I was torn when it came to the Fairness Doctrine because I wanted to make it a Kucinich Watch but that would have required me make believe I actually liked the idea when I obviously don’t.  I figured there will be time enough for funny Kucinich Watch segments once the debates and all get going.

I’m learning how to cut people off when they call in without being rude or allowing them to take over the show.  That was hard for me at first but it’s getting better.  I’ve also stopped prefacing everything and parsing my speech throughout the show.

The Wild Sex Lives of Zoo Animals could have been funnier.  We definitely laughed at times but it was not as good as last week’s Bucgaw Report.  That’s comedy though.  Some things work really well and others need work.  If nothing else, the bestiality stuff was at least educational.
