Stand As 1 RETURNS on Sunday, March 16th, 2014! Special Guest: That Archaic Poet! - Poet Tacito's Blog

Welcome, fellow poets!

So, the show was on a technical hiatus for the past several weeks. MY BAD, YA'LL! But, we're back and even MORE lemony scented than ever before! Are you ready? Are your pets ready? They should be! Here's the scoop:

On Sunday, March 16th @ 8am PST, our poetic hearts visit the Kentucky countryside w/my special guest co-host, That Archaic Poet on Blog Talk Radio! Yes, THAT GUY!

As many of you know, That Archaic Poet has left his mark on the Soup for quite awhile now. His Rhyming forte holds a strength few can match. He puts art together like nobody's business! Plus, he's a fellow Star Wars nerd like I am! Which means, nerd overload WILL be a thing! BEEP BOOP BEEP! And, now, you'll be able to hear it all go down! Whether you like it or not! Is your body ready?! Mine is!

So, please join us as you'll have a chance to ask our guest & I some questions AND read your own work LIVE on the air! Be excited!!! SERIOUSLY!  

This is YOUR time to come together & shine, fellow poets. "Stand As 1" is an Open Mic internet radio show with the sole focus of providing all poets across the world a voice to be heard. So, DON'T BE SHY!

The fun all goes down at 8am PST/11am EST/4pm London Time/11pm in the Philippines!

Wanna listen and read your work on the show? Here's how...
To listen to the show & read your work, you have a few options:

Web: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/standas1 (There is a chat room where you can talk with myself and others in the chat, but you'll have to register on the site to do so. Otherwise, you'll just appear as "Guest12345" in the chat room with no ability to communicate with others).

Phone: (646) 716-4762 (You can hear the show live over the phone. If you want to actually read a poem on the air, then please be sure to press "1" and the voice prompt will confirm that you're in my Host queue to read a poem.)

Please keep in mind that all callers that want to read on my show are selected in the order they call in and who presses "1" to be placed in my queue.

If there are any questions, please leave a comment here or shoot me a SoupMail. I do hope you all will be able to participate!

Cheers!

I hope to be able to join in sometime, but like bini... and Eileen, I'll need to consider the timing, and workout the best way to communicate, as I'm currently in New Zealand, moving back to Australia in 2 weeks.
