My 1st Poetry radio show in 2 yrs, goes LIVE this Tuesday!

Hey everybody!

So, with the contest already in effect, I've decided to do an impromptu Poetry internet radio broadcast this Tuesday evening, June 18th, at 5pm PST (8pm EST; 1am London time). I'm not sure if I'll have a guest co-host w/me or not.

Depending on how this support & turnout goes, I'll make this a bi-weekly or monthly gig. Either way, there will be a show in mid-July to read off the winner of my current "Above the Clouds" contest.

To listen to the show you have a few options:

Web: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/standas1/2013/06/19/the-return-of-stand-as-1 (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!
