New Americana Radio Show in BR (The Front Porch)

Not a regular poster, but a long-time avid reader of the music board, and figured this would be news a few of yall would appreciate.
I am hosting an Americana/alt-country show called The Front Porch every Wednesday night from 7-8 on 96.9 WHYR in Baton Rouge. I'll be playing the country music worth listening to...Robert Earl, Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Drive-By Truckers, and of course a heavy weekly dose of FGL's deep cuts and B-sides (one of these is untrue). Right now it's pre-recorded, as this is my 1st venture into radio, but down the line I hope to move to live recordings, maybe even featuring in-studio interviews of local and visiting musicians.
If you're in BR you can listen on 96.9 FM....and anywhere else you can find it online on whyr.org and on the TuneIn app. We've also got a facebook page on which we'll post show/album announcements and playlists...you can find that by searching FB for The Front Porch on 96.9 WHYR...would appreciate some likes and shares if you're so inclined.
Tonight is the 2nd episode...last week we had some technical issues we worked through but I'm told everything has been resolved. Hope yall get a chance to listen, and would appreciate some constructive feedback.
Also, the show prior to mine is a good one to check out...classic country & delta blues. It's called High Cotton & Hill Country

Sweet. I'll try and give it a listen next week. Good luck with everything

Sounds like a great station. Americana is my personal favorite music genre. It encompasses everything good about the rock, bluegrass, folk and country genres and rolls it all up into very top notch music.

I'll be listening in. Whenever you need that local Americana band to pop in, I'm sure we (humble kind) would love to play. Our full-length debut will be releasing in September.
Also if you see DJ Clay tell him we said what up!

Is it your property? You should also throw it up on Podcast. New media bro.

Thanks to those who listened and for the feedback. Looks like we had a couple more technical issues to iron out (both on my part and the station's) but they've been mostly minor and hope we can resolve them for the next go-round.
I'd love to be able to put up podcasts of the shows afterward but unfortunately it appears FCC doesn't allow it due to copyrights or something. Least I can do is post the past playlists on the facebook page to give folks an idea what they missed and provide incentive to tune in the next week.
SpyBoy, yall are definitely on my radar...saw yall at Varsity w/ Minos the Saint a while back and picked up that 3-track CD...I'll try and get something from that on the bill in the next couple weeks. Not sure if you'll be at the Hayes Carll or Clay Parker shows in town this wknd, but I should be at both. Come find me and we can discuss maybe a studio show or something down the line...look for the guy with the Yankees hat and beard.
