To Everyone at Invision:
I'd like to invite everyone here to tune into my BlogTalk Radio show "Art's Game Show Party"... Friday Nights at 10:30 on BlogTalk Radio ( www.blogtalkradio.com/thegameshowguy ) ... Then stay with BlogTalk at 11:00 for my good friend (and professional broadcaster) Phil Manners' show on gameshows... www.blogtalkradio.com/philmediaguy ...
I hope to start off 90 minutes of game show related talk and games to ring in the weekend. I will present some topics then play a game with some callers. Phil has been doing this for a while and does a mix of issues ,with occasional guests and a game too.
I'll be honest... this is uncharted territory for me. While I am the official Game Show expert at the college I teach at - doing almost all their game show events and quiz bowls, as well as Phil's cable access shows (which can be seen on his website linked to his blogtalk page) I see game shows as a visual experience so an audio only show is something I needed to ponder. I got the whim to do this back when J. Keith Van Straaten started his Blog Talk show this past winter. (I learned of it here!) I tuned in and thought WOW another avenue for gameshows! I opened an account and-- immediately went on hiatus!!
But I finally decided (as I am currently in the game show production mode -doing gameshows at the local recreation center) to give this a try. Please forgive my (as my friend Steve McClellan says my foriegn) Brooklyn accent (I teach English with that accent!!) and if you have a chance tune in to our BlogTalk shows this Friday night. I value the input of members of the board... so let me know how I can improve my show!
Phil has a great topic planned: He will be discussing "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego" this week...
I'm truly hoping to start a Friday night game show tradition.
Here Goes!!Thanks for reading,
-----Art Kurtz

I would strongly consider doing the show on a night other than a Friday. Of course, if Friday is all that your schedule permits, then it is what it is, but I think you're going to be facing a REALLY uphill battle for your audience. There's a reason that the TV networks burn off shows on a Friday. Nobody's home. (Certainly I'm not.)
That said, as someone who has considered hosting a call-in show online, but never got around to it, I wish you the very best luck and much good wishes for success.

Art is from New York, guaranteed it's EST.
He's a good guy, too. If you've got the time, give him a listen.

I'd also like to plug another BTR game-show related show hosted by an acquaintance of Art and myself, The Game Game. This one usually goes off Monday nights around 11 PM.
Check here for more info (http://\"http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gamegame\")

YES!
It is eastern time...
10:30 EST
9:30 Central
8:30 Mountain
7:30 Pacific...
Should have done that before...I grew up with those announcements!
Phil's show is a half hour after mine starts and has been on for a while. If you can't make my show- catch Phil's and check out mine in the archives... Like "Whew!" my show will run 25 minutes so listeners can grab a snack and then switch to Phil's Game Shows page ---and Phil and myself can get ready for his show which follows mine and I enjoy being a part of... Like " being on a game show" my line when I was on Millionaire... "I highly recommend it!!"
Thanks everyone ...
(and a special thanks to Dave W. and Chris for the kind words and good wishes!)
