30 Day Blog Challenge: Birth Of The Radioman!

This is my post for Day 3 of the 30 Day Blog Challenge and is the first in a series of posts titled Stepping Out And Moving On.

I am starting out this blog challenge by sharing the journey of my radio career and why I am switching to producing podcasts.

In the last post I mentioned the public access station, and that's where it all began. I got the whole inspiration to do this show based on 2 shows, True Story and the Shock Jock Hair Rock Show.

I listened to those shows and after hearing the spots saying that I could host my own show, I joined the organization and took the 6 week radio class and in June 2005 I started my first show. My spot was on Thursday's from 2-3 right before True Story.

I know I was pretty bad at first, but what made that time so special was the group over at Shaun Groves message boards on his old site. When Thursday's would come, I would go to the boards and there was a great community there with Nancy, (The Host of True Story), Cristy, Thomas, Kristen.

We would get together and chat about the shows, and also would support each other. One highlight of those days was the year we surprised Nancy on her birthday with flowers sent to her home. Another highlight was when I promoted a Shaun Groves concert at my church. Nancy was there as my helper and Thomas came all the way from Wisconsin. That was also the first time I met Brody Harper. It was on those message boards where I got my title as "Radioman!"

Tomorrow's post is all about the accomplishments.

WEBR showing Cross Driven Radio (and other shows) some love

I was catching up on some of my mailing list emails from the radio station, and found out that the station has been doing some print advertising. Its really a pretty cool ad that tells what the station is all about. Check it out.

Since I am the only show in the Christian Rock genre, I am grateful to the FPA/ WEBR staff for placing my genre into the add.

So, How was your weekend?

This week on the Cross Driven Radio Show

Coming up this week on Cross Driven Radio, I have a special guest on the show talking about blogging, the 40 Day Fast, Privacy and some of todays best music. Oh, the guest is none other than Kat from The Secret Life Of Kat and Inspired To Action.

Tune in to www.fcac.org/webr at 2:00 Eastern to hear the show in its entirety. The full interview will be posted on the Cross Driven Radio website later that night. There are more interviews to come with bloggers participating in this years 40 Day fast including some that will be podcast exclusives.

On the theme of the 40 Day Fast, this show will be different than any that I have done before. Something is happening within me that I can’t quite put a finger on. I am feeling compelled to serve in ways that I had never dreamed of. One thing I do know is that I will share it here. As a new blogger, I know that I have very little traffic across the site now, but I pray that maybe it is here for 1 person to see and be inspired to do great things through what the spirit says through me whether it is on the radio or on this blog. Here is a story about what happened with a group who went to the Oglala reservation at Pine Ridge. Yes, that is where the battle of Wounded Knee took place.
