“DISCONNECT” - 48:08 / 44.3 MB - Frank in NYC in the morning. Talking about some of the difficulties that arise in doing talk radio shows, and how these difficulties relate to the current situation.
Frank,
While I agree that there may be some truth to your disconnect theory, there is no need to completely throw in the towel. You do good work and I’d rather be part of an exclusive club of a few listeners than a mass crowd of mindless followers. It sounds as though you may be a bit burned out from doing nine consecutive weeks of eight hour Ramplers. You should take a vacation and re-group your thoughts. Remember that you have fans regardless of what forum you choose to express yourself. What you do is greatly appreciated.
You know, you do have a point… I really didn’t plan out what exactly it would be like to do so much recording… I think it makes sense that I am getting burnt out. I really have been thinking taking some time off… though the WFMU show makes it a bit harder to do that. As it is, I am planning some changes in the way I do things to try and make everything work a bit better. Thanks so much for your kind words – I really do appreciate it!!
Frank, as a listener since Spring 2005, I am now accustomed to frequent changes in the show and it’s format, and expect it at least once a year.
If you decide to stop changing things, I believe I shall fall prey to the “disconnect” phenomenon, and have to turn my back against you forever!
(joking)
Frank
I agree with the others. Your work is good no matter what the format. You’ll always have me as a loyal listener! Do what makes you feel happy and creative.
I think you deserve a hootnanny of a vacation.
