Plugged In: My Radio Show Starts This Thursday at Noon on 88.3 WNIN
One of the projects that has been taking up a bit of my time over the summer was going down to the WNIN studios and fleshing out a new radio show. After several test shows, I’m pleased to announce that my new technoloy radio, Plugged In, will debut this Thursday at noon (replay Sunday at 6PM) on 88.3 FM WNIN. That would be your local public radio and NPR affiliate.
When I went down to WNIN to talk about doing a show, the first thing I told them was that I didn’t want to do the traditional call-in for support tech show that has been done time and time again. I tend to find stuff like that to be incredibly boring. The problem being discussed is usually only of interest to the caller.
Rather than focusing on when technology doesn’t work, Plugged In will focus on how we use technology in our daily lives. We’ll cover the latest tech news as well as cover a different subject in-depth each week. As an example, test shows have covered the iPhone 3G launch, buying a laptop for college and getting started with digital SLR photography. I’m building a stable of incredibly smart guests to help the show along. It’s a formula I think can really work for tech.
The radio show is a bit of an extension to my Courier column, but will allow me to expand a bit further than 500 words a week will allow. Plugged In isn’t where I want it to be just yet and will evolve over time. I hope you’ll tune in Thursday and give me some feedback on the show. I’m also working with WNIN to get a proper podcast setup as well so you can get it straight to your iPod each week.
If you have any topic suggestions you’d like me to cover on the show, let me know in the comments or email me.

i think we need a cell phone expert to explain just how they work and what to expect in the future
Sounds very cool! I see on the website for the show, that downloads and iTunes are coming soon. That’ll probably be the way I catch your show: Add it to already my massive podcast list. I’ll be sure to check it out though!
Good luck!
