SRN: The Signal – a radio show of mythic proportions.

[talkstowolves]

You might have noticed that I rather enjoy talking endlessly about my geeky fascinations. I also have to admit that I enjoy being a bit silly. More than a bit, really. So, with my friend Lisa Stock – an equally keen and playful partner – on board, it seemed inevitable that we do an Internet radio show.

SRN: The Signal is that Internet radio show.

What is SRN: The Signal? Here’s a snippet from our press release:

Broadcasting from Siren Rock (their moveable studio on the doorstep of the Atlantic) and various live locations, these two reporting sirens will be delivering news and commentary on the SFF and mythic genres. Television, film, comics, video games, literature – all will crash upon the rocks of The Signal’s broadcast to be served up for your entertainment. Tune in for enlightening banter with regular contributor Keith Brooks, guest spots from notable creators, and a variety of music.

I had a lot of fun recording our first episode, which covers the multifaceted and seductive figure of the siren. Lisa is a wonderfully enthusiastic collaborator, and Keith Brooks is both erudite and hilarious. If you listen to the broadcast, you’ll even catch interjections from my quixotic husband, Andy – who also happens to be our producer!

This program is chock-full of playful banter, geeky references, hilarious character pieces, and music by Priscilla Hernandez and Seanan McGuire. Meet our news and weather guy, Fisherman Angus Crouton, find out where you can buy Selkie Sea Salt, and learn more about the historical evolution of the siren. There’s even a trivia question with the opportunity to win a few prizes!

I’d really like to know what y’all think – you can listen directly via the audio player at the bottom of this post, but I encourage you to check out our official posting at the SRN: The Signal Tumblr. (Follow us on Tumblr too!)

We’ll be available soon via iTunes, after we work out the technical aspects.

Oh, and isn’t our logo fabulous? It’s by the inimitable Paula Arwen Friedlander.

Without further ado, I give to you the premiere broadcast of SRN: The Signal!

Sorry, guys, but the embedded audio player doesn't work in the crossposting! You can find it on the original post, or directly accessible via the SRN: The Signal Tumblr.
