Your show sounds interesting. We don't do regular shows. What you can do
is upload segments of your piece (7min or under) and if our hosts like
them, they will be put into the rotation. We don't syndicate to other
stations. But we are building a large tower that will put us on the
airwaves in Chicago and beyond. We also have a streaming community and
will soon be doing Podcast. I think the best way to get started with us
is to upload a few segments, and go from there. Feel free to call or
write with any more questions or if this was unclear.

1. One is that we are revamping our CEO Notes newsletter with a blog and
some community building elements. Our mailing list is about 50% US and
about half that is midwestern.
We have approximately 10,000 subscribers. We estimate that about 1/3 of
the subscribers are real CEOs. Attached is a PDF with the results of a
subscriber survey we did about two years ago.
Also attached is a sample copy of the newsletter. We are going to recast
our tagline towards "Actionable Ideas for CEOs". For more samples of
some of our content, see also:

Does such a theme have any relevance to what you are trying to do? Is
that something that could be turned into a short weekly "sound bite"
type of show that you could syndicate to other radio stations?
2. We are doing an experiment in local political community building with
a local municipality focused blog and newsletter.
Would that have any relevance to what you are trying to do?
Thanks

My name is Shannon
Heffernan. I'm a bloger who has been wanting to come to a meetup soon.
But I'm also the online community manager at Vocalo.org, a new radio
station
and web community based here in Chicago.
We are interested in getting blogers on the radio.
In case you haven't already
heard about Vocalo, here's a quick overview. (If you want more of a
detailed
overview, there are press links at the bottom of this email.) Vocalo.org
was
started by Chicago Public Radio, WBEZ, a little over six months ago. But
don't be fooled, it's not at all like your normal public radio.
It's a new kind of radio, integrated with a web community. Users can
post
content (written, audio, or video) on our website (and really, anything
goes).
We then air this material on the radio, playing the audio or making
audio
versions of the written content. Right now we air in Northwest Indiana
at 89.5
FM; by the spring we'll have a new 50,000 watt tower that will allow us
to
expand to cover all of Chicago.
It's a brand new station making radio in a brand new way, and we hope
you'll
get in with us now, on the ground floor.
Think about it: here is your
chance to be on the radio! How cool is that?
We welcome content that is
already posted on your blog, so it's very easy to take the work you've
already
done and get it on the air. It's also a chance to expand your audience
and
bring readers and listeners back to your own blog. Other bloggers and
podcasters who have joined our site have noted its ability to increase
their
own site traffic. If you create a profile on Vocalo.org and upload
content, you
can link back to your blog from our site. And you can put your site
address at
the end of your piece, so every time we play your stuff, we'll give a
shout out
to you and your blog's web address on the air. In addition, we often
invite our
favorite users to co-host, especially if their posts are relevant to a
topic we
are covering. Really, the possibilities are endless.
We want to create a new
community online, but we also want to enrich existing online
communities. We
hope that as more bloggers and podcasters join Vocalo.org, it will help
you
(and journalists) find and reference each other more often, and find
bigger
audiences more easily. And for bloggers who are already interested in
radio, we
hope to become a way for you to become proficient in audio production,
too.
We really do hope you'll
check us out and consider becoming part of our growing online and on-air
community. If you decide you want to record your post (not required) and
need
some help or just want someone to walk you through the site, don't
hesitate to
call me at 312-893-2956. I hope to see you all at the next meetup!
Best,
Shannon Heffernan
