I’m heading to WBTN, a community radio station in Bennington, Vt. to prepare promo for a radio show – “Talking To Dogs” – that i am planning to do for the station. I am a great supporter of community radio, especially in this time of corporate greed and abuse of media power.

Community radio gives voice to people who don’t have a voice, and I’ve always wanted to have my own radio show. I’m  not sure why the Fish Fry wagon is out front of the studio, but I’ll find out today.

We’re doing more promos this Thursday, and hopefully the radio call-in show will air next Thursday from 3 to 5 p.m., pending some unexpected surprise. This station is hanging on by a thread, and I hope to help draw listeners, volunteers and maybe some sponsors.

This is the kind of media that needs to live. I’ll make sure to get the right call in number, I hope many of you will call in to talk about dogs with me, I see this show as a conversation, a safe and open place to talk about our love for animals, the challenges of training them, the joys of living with them, how to get them, etc.

I’m excited about this, it is a natural evolution for me, and a good thing to do these days. This station needs to live, and I’d be excited to have a place where I can have a running conversation about dogs.

The station is live-streamed everywhere, everyone can hear it and everyone  can call in. ((Some people might need an am radio app.)  I’ll report back this afternoon.
