Several years ago, I was recruited by an ex-colleague to teach a music class at Pitt’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. It was called The Soul of Pittsburgh, exposing students to the browner music scene of the city.
Next week, I travel to Indiana University of Pennsylvania to lecture media students. Professor Zack Stiegler, who extended an offer to air The Soul Show on WIUP in ’22, has become a steady friend and supporter. I, in turn, do what’s possible to support his interests.
Here are the topics, roughly:
- How I got into radio, and some of my background
- Sharing and reflecting on my experience of branding and marketing The Soul Show to the syndicated market ….processes, tactics, approaches, etc. – how I made the show stand out in the ocean of options available to programmers, challenges in navigating and maintaining that, etc.
- Development and refinement of show concept
- Programming tips
- Production in studio and in an independent environment
Excited
…and rightfully so! As a listener to the Soul Show for years, witnessing your travails and triumphs has been my musical pleasure. Congratulations to you,
Soul Show Mike🖤
Thx, RYB!
