A Letter to My Friends and Listeners
This is a letter about my Thursday evening show known as "The Maelstrom." In short, I need more listeners that actually want to hear my show and the symphonic and progressive metal that my show is meant to be geared toward.
I know some of you already listen very nearly every week, but I need more like 30 or 40 regularly listeners, which I simply don't have. Don't worry, my show isn't going to be canceled or anything, but until I get more regular listeners there will have to be less of the prog/sym metal on my show, which is what I think makes it special.
So, I'm asking you all for help getting more listeners; any help of any sort, be it advice or just simply tuning in or asking a friend to "check out my buddy's show." Obviously, I could post on forums and blogs, but I don't know any, at least not any that don't explicitly prohibit "spamming and advertising." I am going to look into more of those on my own, of course, but if you know of any place good to post about such things, let me know.
For the next month or two, I'll be mixing in a lot of mainstream music into my show, until I have an idea if I can really get enough listeners to validate my current playlist at my current time. If things don't go well, I'm going to have to move my show to a different time, likely during the day when a lot of my present listeners probably won't be able to tune in.
So, tune in, tell your friends, and if you have any other ideas how I could get more listeners, however obvious or dumb you think it sounds, please tell me.
