The First Radio Mime

I'm launching my new national radio show tomorrow and I've completely lost my voice. Freud would have something to say about this.

My buddy Al, the throat doc, is telling me to shut up for 24 hours, so I'm canceling everything and going home to rest my voice. But I have to say one more thing before I do: yippee!

The Tech Guy radio show launches on Premiere Radio Networks tomorrow with the following stations, and more are joining every hour (including a really big announcement soon I hope).

Saturday

Sunday

Starting next weekend:

Back on KGO!

Some of the TWiT hosts will have short segments on the show. The plan is to have one three minute segment each hour at around 23 minutes past the hour. This week Steve Gibson and Paul Thurrott will be on talking security and Vista, respectively. Next week Amber MacArthur, Dick DeBartolo, Merlin Mann, and Ron Rosberg will join the line-up.

Our national launch sponsors will be DSLExtreme and Carbonite (thanks guys!), and thanks to KFI and Premiere Radio Networks for making it happen!

The new chat channel at irc.dslextreme.com is #techguy. The new call-in number is toll-free 1-888-8 ASK LEO (that's 1–888–827–5536).

See you tomorrow (even if you don't hear me!)

Take care my friend. With rest, your voice will come back and I'll be listening to you on KGO. That is super news! Congrats!

Wow - this makes me want to go out and by a radio station just so I could become an affiliate...

Get well soon, my friend. And congrats again.

Break a leg! The airtime is reserved, the audience is waiting, failure is not an option, the show must go on! and hey. remember....

there's no pressure.

Leo... you're great man!

I'm a 27 yo guy from Romania... I'm mad about technology... and computers... and I like your voice... I'm listening to you everytime you put something new on the "twit". I'm listening to your podcast on the road to work on my Creative Muvo Slim device...

You rock! I'm declaring myself as a Leo Laporte Romanian fan ;)

Leo, Way cool a station in Wisconsin picked you up. Not in my broadcast area but might be able to pull it in from my folks. Would be nice if they would stream (news and weather a little closer to home) otherwise I'll be listening to the KFI stream. Congrats on the syndication deal.
Chris Beiting
A big announcement? Could it be XM or Sirius? Man, I hope it's XM... cause that's what I have ;)

Congrads Leo... if it's not, then I guess I'll listen to the taped one in Cincy... or just keep downloadin... Rest up!

I'll be listening live on the KFI stream as always, and the rerun on Sunday night in Sacramento on KSTE. Good luck Leo and hope your voice comes back!

Hey Leo! You sounded great on Saturday! I'm glad you got syndicated. Of course now this means if I ever have a another question to ask you, I'll have to fight my way though a nation of callers rather than just socal. ahhh well.

Keep on keepin' on!
Mubix
I don't know if you have released this info anywhere else, but will you be allowed to keep putting the show up for download on the Radio Leo rss feed?

Poor Leo, I hope you get your voice back soon! (I can't cope without my podcasts! lol) x

Congrats on your national syndication, Leo!!! One issue: When listening to the podcasts in high noise environments, we can no longer hear the callers. You sound terrific (as always), but the callers are low and muffled to the point of being inaudible. HELP!!! We wouldn't be so concerned if we didn't like your show so much. We catch every single show, even if we can't listen live. Thanks and best wishes to the world's best Tech Guy.
