I couldn't get through during the broadcast, but I called the talkback line and left a message which they may air advertising the club, our website, and welcoming new members.

The show - Maritime Noon - is also available for download. It's usually available later in the afternoon, or the next day... They have these guests on a few times a year to take wine/beer questions. I didn't catch any of today's, but usually the show is very wine oriented but occasionally some good beer discussion makes it in.

Not sure, I tuned in just before the end of the program

I didn't hear today's show yet, but it's usually the Barley, Malt, & Vine folks...

cool...they got a decent shop down there with good stock and prices.

I wonder if we contacted Rogers local TV people if we could do some sort of show on home brewing ? Ive pondered this for many months.

am guessing you'd need a pilot first. I know some guys who work in film, but I rather doubt they'd do so for free...

... or does someone here have a camera etc? (I mean a DV camera with at least a tripod)

would have to be very, /very/ careful not to come off like elitist assholes + make such a show interesting.

I suspect we should develop the strength of this site before moving forward to other media with such a confident stride.

I should add; I know guys at Fox radio (specifically one of the DJ's and a bunch of the guys involved in selling advertising). I will be trying to get in touch with them once this thing is less of a fledgling.

I have access to some high quality video equipment.

Richard · January 19, 2011, 02:40:28 PM

and who of us thinks themselves charismatic enough to host such a show?

clue: not me

I have a friend who works in the Film industry here in Fredericton I went to high school with Bunthivy the director and producer of this short film she may be able to provide some guidance
