Technical Difficulties. . .

I just wanted to drop a quick post and appologize on behalf of the Manuscript Radio staff about the technical problems we are having in the studio. When you're working on a college station, from time to time, things break, get old, or just plain stop functioning. Unfortunately, there isn't always anything we can do about it--the program is strapped for cash, and since it's not a commercial station, we are relying on the materials at hand to get us through. Yeah, it feels like a duct-tape-and-gum-wrapper experience, but it's also one of the last places on the free media planet where you can have such open discourse, have format-free radio programing, and feel like you're hanging out and having fun all the while. We love what we do on Manuscript Radio, and I know that it only works with the team as a whole, that includes you the listener.

Thanks for listening.

Jim Warner

PS: I would also like to especially thank the entire staff--Matthew,and Bibbi--they are what really fuels the engine on this program, I'm lucky enough to be along for the ride.

Foothills Publishing, The Machinist, and More

Hey folks, be sure to tune in Sunday morning @ 10AM as we will have our first phone interview. Foothills Publishing mainman Michael Czarnecki is going to be our artist profile at 11AM. Writing poetry for nearly 40 years, Micheal's seven books of poetry include CRISS-CROSS, ELEGY FOR THE ROAD-KEROUAC'S GHOST, and TWENTY DAYS ON ROUTE 20. His latest collection ZOO HAIKU was released last year by PAPER KITE PRESS.

On the show we will talk to Micheal about the highs and lows of independent publishing as well as the recently released anthology IN THE ARMS OF WORDS: POEMS FOR DISASTER RELIEF. Proceeds from this national release will go to Americares and the International Recuse Committee to aid victims of both the tsunami of 2k4 and Hurricane Katrina.
