‘Showcase, Dank Showcase’
I was logging in to moderate comments this afternoon and accidentally clicked on the link to Dave Johnson’s blog in my blogroll where I found that sometime in the past year — much to my amazement — he had actually published a page of old audio clips from the “Peak Computing Hour,” a call-in radio show that he and I did ten or so years ago in Colorado. I hadn’t heard the clips in a quite a while and it was a fun little trip. (He was smart enough to keep the clips rather limited.)
We did have fun on that show, despite the fact that — to this day — Dave suspects that I “never really liked” him. Well…I’ll leave the answer to that question to your imagination.
Let’s just say the pay was good.
(Oh, and gas was only like 8 cents a gallon at the time, so I was more than happy to commute up to Denver from Colorado Springs for a two-hour radio show once a week. In a Jeep Cherokee. Can you imagine?)
Dave focuses on old clips of “Dank Showcase, Cyberspy” because, well, he wrote them. (So, BIG surprise there.)
Truth told, though, Dank Showcase was the best part of the show…that single experience has caused me to occasionally yearn to do a little “real” radio theatre at some point in my life. The fact that no one would listen it — just as they did then — is somewhat beside the point.
But he captured the high points — the megadingos, the callers, the silly stuff we would do. Almost makes me want to do it again.
Hmmm.
Whatdaya say, Dave? We could use uStream or similar to put together a show like TuesdayNightTech, but not so…juvenile. Heck…using Skype or something we could take callers. (Do you still know anything about computers? I might have to brush up a bit on PCs. Yuck.)
Maybe you could get us a sponsor from up there in the techie Northwest? If we got enough of a following, we could write books together again. Maybe they’d even put us on ZDNet. TechTV. TechTV G4. PBS!
Dave?
No?
You never liked me, did you, Dave?
