The Mikie Show

Just want to let you know we’ll be up and running in a couple of weeks. That mean we’ll soon have a brand new episode of The Mikie Show! Plus, we now have a spiffy new studio! I hope you have used your time off wisely and caught up on previous shows. You haven’t much time before a new show arrives. Thanks for hanging in there.

Sadly, we’ve had a serious technical breakdown at Straw Black Widow. Oh, that’s the name of our studios here at The Mikie Show. As a result, we will not have a show this coming week. I’m hoping the delay will last only a week but I can’t be sure. Our main computer has decided its time has come. Not just that, but the peripheral gear that attached to it must now also be upgraded to adapt to the replacement machine. We’re working as hard and fast as we can to get up and running. Will keep you posted. Thanks for hanging in there. We really love our listeners!

Guess what this rebus is spelling out and you win a prize! Yes, post or email the correct answer and we’ll send two ringtones or a copy of The Mikie Show of your choosing straight to your inbox. Good Luck!

I’m trying an experiment. Everyone have on their lab coats? Below I’ve posted a script to the sound play in episode twenty-one. I’m thinking it might be fun to read along while listening—like a talking book without the talking. Of course, this is just a script, not the script. Any variations you want to add are welcome. Ok, here we go:
I often wonder what the sound of an alien world would be. How their voices sound to each other or how they perceive sound. I know, let’s go visit a portal they (the aliens) use whenever they visit Earth. Turns out it’s a simple trip to a certain bar downtown with the coolest vintage jukebox. Ah, home again after a night on Earth.

A monsoon is what we call a thunderstorm around here. I recorded one last night just as it happened, no edits. Thought some of you might enjoy hearing a storm. I sure do. It’s one of my favorite sounds. It runs 2:21 so you can finish that email to your whomever, you know, during a storm. To listen, click the word monsoon in the next sentence. Monsoon.

Thanks for all your kind letters. Someone just sent an “r” the other day. Hoping for “z” today. Just posted episode twenty. Phew, our twentieth anniversary—well, in show years. The sound play in this show is one of my favs. There’s also a sound, all whooshy-like, that keeps occurring. I think it has some connective influence on the show.

Nah, not really. We’ve just posted episode nineteen. Yay. I won’t spoil it for you, just click here to go right there. Of course that’s neither here nor there. What else. Oh, we’ve moved to prime time (for radio) on WITT, Indianapolis—now on Wednesdays at five thirty pm. Drive time, baby. Also KUT, Austin has just broadcast another Mikie Show (episode five) and that just makes us all happy and stuff. This is going to be a good summer, I can tell.

We’ve just posted episode eighteen. Look up, now over to the right a little. See the little “listen” highlight-y thing? Click away! Big thanks to KUT, Austin for continuing to broadcast The Mikie Show. They have aired episodes three and four as part of their Sunday night program O’Dark 30. They are very nice people in spite of their extra-terrestrial upbringing. You can check it out here. Phew, Summer is here and I’m very happy. I like hot weather. It’s my favorite time of year. Swanky, breezy, beach bar. Signature cocktail, mmm, so tasty.

Try your hand at a caption for this photo. You could win a spot on The Mikie Show! We’ll pick a winner end of June. Good luck! All entries should end with an exclamation point! Just kidding!

We’ve just posted episode seventeen. Thought you might want to check out the shoes that our guest, June Rettig, makes by hand. Aren’t they just coolness!
