My Old Radio Show - Coming Alive Again
One late winter afternoon in 1994 I was sitting next to another dad at my daughter Meghan's grade school basketball game.
"Marty, guess what I did
this morning? I was a guest on Gary Sullivan's home improvement radio show!"
"Cool. Did you have fun? How would you like to have your own show?"
Marty was the program director for the top oldies station in Cincinnati, Ohio - WGRR - 103.5. He knew many of the other program directors and WMOH in Hamilton, Ohio was looking for a host to do a call-in home improvement show.
A month later I was on the air. I had no idea how hard it was to do radio, but I persevered and went on to do the two-hour show at three different stations over the next 12 years.
It was a boatload of fun answering live calls and I even ran the control board for about seven of the years. Working the pots on the board, playing the bumper music and doing live radio was exhilarating.
Guess what? I'm bringing
the show back using modern technology.
If all goes well on or before March 1st, you're going to hear the first Ask the Builder podcast!
What's a podcast?
A podcast is just like radio, but you the listener are in control of everything.
You control
WHEN you listen. You control WHAT you listen to. You can start, pause and stop it when you want.
It's the audio version of your DVR if you tape and watch TV shows and movies.
Here's the format I'm going to start with:
Open - I welcome you and tell you what the podcast is going to cover.
Segment 1 - First homeowner / builder call - I solve a problem for a homeowner, builder or remodeler.
Segment 2 - Second call - same as above
Tim's Time Travel - A short segment where I share a story about something that happened on a past job that's either funny, sad, thought provoking or a teaching moment.
Do you want to be on the podcast? Do you want me to call you and solve your problem for free?
The calls
are recorded. You're not on LIVE like a real radio show. Live radio or TV is scary for many.
Recording the calls allows you to relax so we can have some fun!
If you want me to call you on the phone to solve your problem, CLICK HERE and sign up. You must supply at least two great high-resolution photos of your problem.
NOTE TO SPONSORS: I've got an incredible deal for the first eight charter sponsors for the podcast. If you're a marketing director or report to one and have a great product you want me to feature on
the podcast, now's the time to get in touch.
You're not going to believe the deal I'm offering - but your product must be great - one I'd use in my own home.

Do you have crown molding in your home? In the cool / cold winter months does a gap appear where it touches the ceiling?
