Aural Moon Shows

[Cozy]

Hey guys.... remember me?


I have not checked the Moon in the last month or so, but as fate would have it, checked today and came about this thread.

A few things I'd like to comment on...


Interzone has been on hiatus the last few months primarily due to personal issues. There was a period of time where work really got in the way, but then later some health issues with my wife that we're just now pretty much in the clear of.

I work on new shows all the time, but getting them completed and ready to go and on the station just takes time I didn't have. I try to put a lot of effort into the show as opposed to having a random playlist. I have the next 8 shows mapped out in various stages of completion.

Rarely have I ever had a complaint about the 3-hour format. Usually the 3rd hour is devoted to focusing on one recording relevant to the theme of that show. I think you just have those on the Moon that like the idea of the station being 24/7 requestable and in control. And organized programs take time away from that.

I would like to think the wide and eclectic variety of music on Interzone would leave a distinct impression. That said I have to question if it's "missed" when absent. To my knowledge, I've not received one posting in the Interzone forum nor any words of concern or curiosity from the Administration to my e-mail. And this is the first I've heard suggested my show slot is in jeopardy. So that leaves me in the precarious position of deciding if it's worth continuing.

Anyway, I'm just an e-mail or forum post within earshot!

May I make a suggestion?

Based on Cozy's comments (sounds like a show title) -

I'd like to have Jim's poll done, privately, comprehensively as soon as Jim can. The same few people (including myself) are having this same discussion, and I don't think we are always representative of the feelings of the Moon listeners. Also, I'd hope that the poll is displayed prominiently and we get a good sampling.

Cozy, do not let anything said here sway you're decision. If you are allowed to do your show, do it. I know I appreciate it no matter when you can do it. I base my show on a) if the admin allows, then b) if I have time. I'm busy with the same demands and family issues as others, but I choose to run most every week. That's just me - if you can, do it...

I'm going to recuse myself now from the thread and will read the future comments with interest. Also, I'll await the polls and other inquiries and work with Jim to implement my show in the best possible manner in the future if allowed.

Hope all's well.

There have been questions from moonies in the shout but, without an answer, I would just say, "You need to ask Cozy."

Don't let the lack of commentary discourage you. There are those of us who are long time moonies and figure that you are just busy. I know AM is not a job; it's a hobby. There are also many newcomers who simple haven't heard your show and, therefore, wouldn't know it is missing.

Cozy, my NoVa friend, we MISS YOU! Really, we do. But we're a fickle bunch sometimes. Out of sight, out of mind.

I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I hope everything is healed and all are okay. It's never an easy thing to deal with juggling life issues, work, family, etc.

I look forward to having you back on the air. And people have been asking about/for you in the shout. Others miss you too.

So don't give up!
