The Dickenbock Report didn't air this week either. You'll recall, the show wasn't on the air last week - or else it was, but it was the wrong episode - & it sort of aired this week - well, it started very late - 47 minutes of dead air preceded the show - but of course that meant a good deal of the show wasn't heard.
Like last week, this happened through no fault of my own. In both cases, I had shows prepared. In both cases, Freeform Portland volunteers made the mistakes that caused the shows I had prepared to not air. Oh, & of course I received no apologies from either of them - or even station management!
If I seem a bit angry, it's because I am. My radio shows are quite shabby, & it's probably a shock to most listeners that I spend a great deal of time on them. If I had done something as thoughtless & careless as these two volunteers, I would be so very apologetic & I would do something to make it up to them. Because I imagine that everyone devotes the same if not more time than I do on their shows. & had I somehow completely disrespected their work - even by accident! - I not only would attempt to make amends, I would also expect to be reprimanded, & I would deserve it.
But from the way things have happened, that does not appear to be the Freeform Portland way.
In any event, you weren't ever going to listen to the show, but in the very small chance you want to hear it, to prove to yourself that I couldn't possibly have spent hours working on it, & maybe even mock me for my outrage, I have put it on the Self Help Radio website. Yesterday was National Umbrella Day, & so I played lots of songs & talked a lot about umbrellas. Here is a direct link to the show. Remember you'll need a username - SHR - & a password - selfhelp - to listen.
Heavy sigh.
