Play Our Show on your Station!
« on: March 10, 2014, 1433 UTC »
Interested in getting our podcast "The Chris Brake Show" played on pirate radio!

We are a weekly talk show featuring interviews, commentary and new music from Indianapolis. Each week we have a local promoter on the show to talk about the bands playing at Punk Rock Night in Indianapolis. And usually each week we interview someone.

Upcoming guests include...

Josh Robert Thompson, voice actor/voice of Geoff Peterson, the robot sidekick on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
Steve Tozzi, Director of "Riot on the Dance Floor," a new documentary about classic punk rock club City Gardens in Trenton, NJ
Steven Schroeder, local Indianapolis historian who believes Indianapolis is a gateway to hell

and the list goes on.

Here's an episode where we interviewed the lead singer of Green Jelly: http://chrisbrakeshow.com/2014/02/13/green-jelly-interview/

Here is our RSS feed where you can listen to all of our episodes: http://feeds.feedburner.com/ChrisBrakeShow

Please let me know if there's anything else you would like to know. Thank you very much!

Hey there.

I'm not a pirate, just a listener, but having been around the hobby for a while and checking out your site and shows, I'd make just a couple of suggestions.

The shortwave pirate hobby is pretty close and largely based on interaction between operators and listeners. You might want to consider creating a few shows that specifically target a shortwave pirate audience. Also, pirates typically go on the air for 30 minutes, maybe 60 minutes in rare cases. For the purposes of continuity, you'd want to consider programming your shows for shortwave to be on the shorter end of things.

Of course, you'll probably want to have a commitment from an operator (we call them "relays" when they transmit someone else's show) before you go to the trouble of creating customized shows.

Just some friendly suggestions, and welcome to the site.

Just throwing the idea out there... ever thought about buying an hour or half hour on somewhere like WBCQ every so often?  A show like yours would beat the pants off some of the other rubbish they play on there *cough* religious hatemongers *cough*.

That's a pretty good suggestion. Also, WRMI rents time too.
