Show Notes

Who Was Your Worst Moderator?

Who was your worst moderator? Please tell me by leaving a comment for me to read on the air or e-mailing me a text or audio comment. No specific names or sites, please. What happened? What made them your worst moderator? Let me know! Hopefully we’ll get at least a few and it’ll be a feature on a future - or the next - episode.

Questions, Feedback, etc.

I want to answer questions from listeners on the show. If you have a question or even if you have a general subject you’d like me to talk about, please let me know by e-mailing me. You can even remain anonymous, if you want. Just be sure to tell me. I will answer your question via e-mail as well as on the show, so that you don’t have to wait.

Audio Questions

In addition to questions through e-mail, I also accept audio questions. If you have a question and a mic, please record yourself, save it as a .mp3 and send it to me. Feel free to mention your site. Please keep in mind that the show is both family and work friendly, so your question and site must fit within that. But, if it does and the question fits in a show, I’ll be glad to include your audio clip in an episode.

Listener Spotlight

If you manage at least one generally family friendly community with at least 10,000 posts and you have headphones, a mic, Skype and high speed, please e-mail me. You only need to e-mail once because I add any possible guests into a pool indefinitely. Just because you e-mail doesn’t mean you’ll be brought on, but I appreciate you putting your name into the hat and I look forward to speaking with you.

Thank you for listening.

Episode #022 Delayed

October 27th, 2006

I am under the weather (probably some sort of flu… stiff neck, bad sore throat, vomited, etc., not fun) and I’m not going to be able to do the show this week, so I wanted to post a note. So, I’m going to go ahead and postpone it 2 weeks to November 10. If you have any questions or suggested topics, I want to hear them, so please e-mail me. In any case, I appreciate your patience.

I tried something a little different this week as I didn’t read from a pre-written script. I just had a list of notes and I let it rip from there. Hopefully, this is an improvement (toward the end, especially). But, I don’t know.
