[Kzyxtalk] I'm in Fort Bragg tonight for Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio.

[Marco McClean]

     Every other week I do my show by live remote from away. This week 
(tonight) I'll be in Fort Bragg, and you're welcome to come and play 
music or read your story or talk about your project.

     Come to 325 N. Franklin (next door to the Tip Top bar) any time 
after 9pm (I'll be there until about 4am), waltz in the front door, head 
for the lighted room at the back and get my attention. I'll put down 
what I'm reading and turn on a microphone for you. If someone else is 
there ahead of you, you can wander around and goggle at the paintings 
while you wait, or tune up, or sit on the nice big couch; we've just had 
it cleaned. (There were burrs from the goat act.)

     Tonight would be good for visitors, because I hurt my finger a 
little at work this week and typing is awkward, so I have a little less 
material to read than usual.

     If you've never been there, you might think of it as an opportunity 
to see what it's like in a real radio station that isn't operated as a 
closed club, and think about getting your own show. It's easy and fun, 
and there's constant entirely voluntary turnover in the station's 
schedule. Most of the time when someone wants a show on KNYO, it goes 
like this: You contact Bob Young via bobb at poetworld.net and he meets you 
at the station, shows you how to work the machinery, and you're on the 
schedule within a week. There's one phone line you can open up for 
callers, or not, as you please. There are two CD decks and a turntable, 
and there's a place to plug your tablet or phone or computer into the 
mixing board and play music that way. Or you can do what I do and read 
stories for however long you like to do that. Just think about it. 
There's no pressure.
