Welcome to My Show

"You're a good man, and I'll have you on my show."

I have been saying this to my favourite people for some 30 years. Not all, by any means, have understood it. I have tried not to explain it too much.

Until now, the show has been somewhat...ephemeral. But with this first episode, the show is transformed. Perhaps not quickly enough for those who have been disappointed to find that the show is not available on radio or television. While this is hardly out of the question, the transition must be organic.

So before the show goes multimedia, it is going "unimedia." For the first time, it is being "recorded."

Nonetheless, spontaneity remains an essential part of the show. Even though your words are being shared with viewers of the show, choose them no more carefully than you would in conversation. If appearances on the show become more about writing than talking, the show will falter.

It's still a talk show. E-mail your contributions to me and add comments to any post. My Show is also your show.

Joe

  1. Your show is okay, but this Halloween show I saw was much better:
