As more potential guests become aware of our show, consider this
We have not gotten to point where I think I should audition guests. I would prefer to think that I am just providing an opportunity for a variety of artists to make their art available to a wider audience. There will come a time when there are more people trying to get on the show than we have slots. I expect I will have to be more selective then, but I hope I do not set myself up as a judge between competing performers. I choose to present material that might be more challenging for some and I want to take chances. I intend to respect my audience to come to their own conclusions in full knowledge that there may be shows they like and those they dont. Feedback welcome.
I am trying to recruit artists whos work I respect, but I do not need to be like a club booker that is dependent on trying to decide who will be the more profitable act to book. I am pursuing sponsorship, grants, or commercials to get some income to support the effort, but I do not want to become some kind of new radio station clone, hit repeater, or American Idol bullshit anti-art money machine. That may be a bit highhanded, but that is how I think this new media should be used and there is an audience for this point of view.
Thanks. I had been thinking about this and had not really put it into words yet. Please excuse the rant, and tell us what you think.
Thanks
- Dan & Aaron
