Today at 3 p.m will be the first broadcast of “Open Air with Tom Remington”. This show is my son Steve and I discussing our future plans for Skinny Moose Radio. This will include talking about our programming plans, how you can start your own show, equipment you need to start a show and a myriad of related topics. I think it is information that listeners will really be interested in knowing.
I have been asked so often about what the show will be etc., that I put together a brief explanation that I have been giving to people. Here it is.
“What I envision for Open Air with Tom Remington is not just me but a lot of participation from other people, other sportsmen and activists who really love the outdoors and are worried that with the trends taking place all around us, there will be no more outdoors to enjoy. I want to talk with other people and talk about the things that really matter. We have to get outdoor sports people talking and becoming vocal. We have stayed quiet for so long that many feel like we don’t care about the issues. That has to change.
“I chose the title “Open Air†because I wanted to be able to let listeners know that the topics of my discussions will reach deeper and wider than mostly hunting issues, which is what the Black Bear Blog is all about. Open means the subject material is wide open and the air signifies the outdoors. When you combine the two together, it should provide for some fantastic topics for conversation.â€
To give you a little bit of background on the show, we are in the process of having professionally done audio introductions and closings for the show but they’re not ready yet. I threw together a little introduction of my own so that we could get the show up and running. This will help in getting the bugs out.
The show will run in this time slot, at least for now. If you are unable to tune in at 3 p.m. for the broadcast, the Skinny Moose Radio website will have a listing of the show and a link where you can either download the show or stream it on your own computer’s media player.
I am very excited about “Open Air with Tom Remington” and I have some topics and guest interviews, etc. planned that I think will be great entertainment as well as informational and educational.
I hope you tune in today and every Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m.
Tom Remington
