Kicking off "Shooting the Bull" (Sun. 7:30pm WXDU 88.7)

As my partner-in-crime mentioned over at his place yesterday, Barry Ragin from Dependable Erection and I are gearing up for a half-hour weekly news/talk program over at WXDU (88.7 FM) this coming Sunday night at 7:30.

"Shooting the Bull" will recap the highs and lows of this week in Durham, drawing ideas from the blogosphere and media alike and bringing a different lens to what's what in the Bull City. We'll also bring guests by to talk about key issues of note (or, in some cases, notoriety.)

Assuming we can work out all the technical details, the show will be available to listen to as a podcast after its airing, in case you're too busy watching 60 Minutes to spare time for our 30 minutes.

This Sunday, our focus will turn to the big news in Durham this week: the development review process. Scheduled to join us are Durham city councilman Eugene Brown and City/County Planning Commission past chair and current member Don Moffitt to help work through what's really at issue with this much-debated story.

Ah, I miss being a DJ in school already. Though I just mostly played music, one of the best times I had in school.

Hooray! WXDU is a much under appreciated resource in our community.

I used to DJ the Friday afternoon jazz show from 5-7pm circa 1989. Lots of Oscar Peterson, Louis Armstrong, and early Dixieland from New Orleans (call me old school).

by the way, we won't be taking phone calls (at least not till we get the rest of the technical stuff down pat) but you can shoot us an email at ShootingTheBull@gmail.com if you have any questions for our guests or suggestions for things you'd like to see covered.

I just ran a test of the software to make sure I can listen online (http://wxdu.org/listen/). Can't wait to hear the show!
