Hello Everybody!

After a very long hiatus the time has come to return. This time, I return with some exciting news. St. Clair Shores Radio is partnering up with SCS Patch! What is Patch? It's a local news website created by AOL to provide local content to readers.

What will I be doing? What I've always done, audio podcasts!

The current plan is to create a new series of podcasts for Patch. We're calling this podcast series, "5 Minutes." The focus will be interviewing interesting people from in and around the city of St. Clair Shores for approximately 5 minutes regarding whatever makes them worth talking to.

In addition to posting the podcasts on Patch, I'll also be posting them here for your listening pleasure. On occasion I'll also post extended versions of the 5 minute interviews here. This new series will take the place of the St. Clair Shores Radio podcast since this new podcast will be my focus after any regular work commitments.

I'm excited about this new opportunity, and hope you will come to enjoy it as much as the previous St. Clair Shores Radio podcast series.

The first "5 Minutes" podcast should be out later this week and I've get several more in the works. If you're interested in being interviewed on a future podcast, send me an email for consideration.

Hi Everyone!

St. Clair Shores Radio returns to the interwebs on June 21st! 

Tell your friends!

Hi Everybody!

I just wrapped up hosting my final college radio show (The Erik Anderson Program) on WXOU yesterday. Therefore, it's time to announce my return to the world of Podcasting.

St. Clair Shores Radio will be returning later this month as soon as I can get something recorded and posted.

In the meantime you can checkout previous episodes from the past few years. I'll tell you, my voice sounds a little bit different if you listen to tapes from then and now. You can also checkout some podcasts from my college radio show which are available here.

I'd like to hear what you want me to cover on the show. Leave a comment or shoot me an e-mail.

Hi All!

Awhile ago I told you that I had lost the rights to scsradio.com. But guess what? That person forgot to renew the domain so I purchased it back! (WOO HOO!).

After a LONG hiatus, St. Clair Shores Radio will be returning sometime this summer. Stay tuned to this website for further details!

Hi Everyone!

I am happy to announce after an unofficial 10 month hiatus, I will be returning to St. Clair Shores Radio.

For the past 10 months, I have been focusing on doing my LIVE WXOU Radio Show, which in case you haven't tuned in, can be heard Mondays from 11am to 1pm on WXOU.ORG. I've also spent time hosting a Monthly TV Show for Oakland University's Cable Station OUTV.

Despite hosting a live weekly radio show, and a Monthly TV Show, I have missed hosting shows from "Studio One" in the basement of my house.

At this time, I don't want to commit to doing to many shows to avoid future hiatuses. However, I feel that I should be able to complete 1 new episode of St. Clair Shores Radio per month.

If you're a regular listener to St. Clair Shores Radio, you may have noticed that the old website (scsradio.com) no longer works. It's a long story which i'll discuss on my next show.

Please update your bookmarks to include the new home for St. Clair Shores Radio on the web: www.scsradio.net.

The domain has been purchased, and should be up and running in the next day or so.

Thanks again for your patence during the long hiatus, i'm looking forward to being back on your computer very soon.

Spam Sucks!

That's why for the time being, i'll be moderating all posted comments.

Yes, I know it's been awhile since i've podcasted. You can always listen to "The Erik Anderson Program" LIVE on WXOU 88.3 FM or WXOU.ORG Thursday mornings at 10am if you're going through St. Clair Shores Radio withdrawals.

"The Erik Anderson Program" is my main focus right now. Consider it the new Flagship program of Kingstar Productions.

We'll get around to podcasting a new show one of these days. :)

I rarely talk about work on my podcast, but I thought this project was worth cross promoting.

My co-worker / buddy Rob went down to Cedar Point to cover their new roller coaster "Maverick". I didn't get to go, but I did get to edit the video packages.

This is part one of a five part series.

Hope you enjoy our work!

Erik Anderson and St. Clair Shores Radio remind you to make sure to go out and vote today if your school district is holding an election.

Though I normally don't endorse candidates or take positions on issues, this time I will make an exception.

In the South Lake School District, I am endorsing Ellen Dunn and Vince Marino for School Board.

I also support voting YES on both South Lake Bond Proposals.

Thanks!
Erik

It's been a while hasn't it?

I am starting to feel withdrawals from not doing shows and talking with you the listeners. I am making it my goal to have a finished show put together in the next week. If you have something that you think needs to be included in the next show, please let me know as soon as possible.

Also, for those who are interested, I am now are accepting offers from people who would be interested in sponsoring St. Clair Shores Radio. If you are interested, please e-mail me at scsradio@yahoo.com.

All serious offers will be considered. There are several sponsorships available, including website ads and sponsorship positions during the show.

What does this mean for you the listener?

First, I feel that if someone sponsors the show, I will be more likely to devote a little more time to the show, including doing shows in a more regular time schedule.

Second, I want to be upfront and say that I am NOT looking to bombard you with ads. Especially for things that I don't think would be of interest to you. What I choose to do will be in the best interest of the show, and it's listeners.

I think 2007 could become an interesting year.

Stay Tuned!

Just realized I had forgotten to pay the bill for my Skype In line.

You can now start calling 586-630-3220 to leave a message for the show again.

Hi Everyone!

Yes, it has been some time since I last posted a show.

But fear not! I should have something for you later today.

The Detroit Free Press is coming to the house for an interview this afternoon. I am told there will also be a photographer coming. The reporter wants to sit in while I am taping the show. (Should Be Fun)

Stay tuned!

Over a month in the making...

Show #16 of St. Clair Shores Radio should be taped and edited sometime this week.

JT from the band JTX calls in for an interview.

Tell Your Friends!

Hello Everyone!

Here's the deal:
I'm looking to start using more listener content on the show. I want to get you the listeners more involved in the show.

If you have something you think would be of interest to me and people who listen to the show, I want to see it!

If you don't have anything currently, but would be interested in contributing to the show, contact me immediately!

Obviously, whatever you send in will become property of the show, but i'll be sure to give you full credit for whatever you send in, and i'll be happy to plug your website if you like.

You can email me or call the voicemail line 24/7 (586-630-3220).

The more content I get, the more shows I can do!

The next show should be taped within another week or so, remember i'm still looking for "People In Your Neighborhood" stories for use in upcoming shows.

Thanks to the RIAA and DMCA there will be NO LIVE SHOW tonight.

There are too many rules and regulations for me to follow in order to broadcast a live show on the internet.

It's also not very easy to broadcast live and mix the show the way I want to with Live365.com. I had similar problems during my "Blogathon Radio" show.

Due to the above, and my WJR work schedule, I am quite tired. I don't feel like I could pull off a live show without it being a huge headache.

However, since I have already done some prep and have some music ready for the show, I will instead produce a new podcast tonight.

Look for it in a few hours...

Thanks!
Erik

Tell your friends and mark it on your calendar!

In celebration of my 21st birthday, St. Clair Shores Radio will be doing a LIVE internet broadcast on April 21st from 9pm to Midnight.

I will also pull highlights from the LIVE show for a podcast version.

More details can be found here: http://www.live365.com/stations/scsradio

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for your understanding!
Erik

Hi Everyone!

Please take 5 minutes out of your day to fill out the listener survey.

By taking it and answering the questions honestly, you'll be helping me to improve the show.

You can get started by clicking on the listener survey icon on the left side panel.

Thanks!
Erik

So I realize I have lied to my audience again and have not posted a new show as I have promised.

I would like to say that there could be a new show by this weekend, but I am not going to make any promises.

I have been busy with several things I can't talk about yet. Hopefully by the time I get around to finishing show 10 I will be able to tell everyone.

Until then... Stay tuned!
Erik

Hi Everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of your friends here at St. Clair Shores Radio.

I know it's been a few weeks since show 9 so look for show 10 sometime next week.

If you've missed a show, this would be a good time to go back and listen to prior shows you've missed.

As always, the Voicemail line is open. You can leave a voicemail for the show 24/7. Call Now! 586-630-3220.

I am happy to announce that I have been officially notified by the State that I have a registered company name.

Drum Roll Please.... And the new name of my production company is...

Kingstar Productions LLC!

While I now have a name, the hiatus of the show will still continue while I do a few more things to prepare for owning my own company.

Thanks again for your patience. It shouldn't be a whole lot longer until I start producing new shows.

Hi Everyone!

Please bear with me, I know this is a lengthy post.

Since I've noticed it's been a few weeks since I last posted a show, I figured it was time I gave everyone an update on things going on behind the scenes here at St. Clair Shores Radio.

First off, I am proud to announce that I have decided to setup and launch my own production company.

As of today, I have filled out the necessary paperwork, and have sent it off to the State of Michigan for approval. Once everything is approved by the State, I should be up and running.

By starting up my own company and going legit with it, I will have my own registered name with the state, and I will also be receiving all of the tax benefits that are associated with owning my own business.

I should note, that while I have picked out a name that I hope to use as a company name, I haven't been awarded use of that name by the state yet, so therefore I am choosing not to release that new company name publicly, until I am more that sure I have the rights to it.

Some people might already know or have an idea of what I am planning to use as my company name. If I have spoken with you personally, or if someone has already tipped you off as to what that name could be, I am asking you to please keep it to yourself until I officially make an announcement on this website, or on my official blog which can be found at www.erikanderson.tv.

You might be asking yourself, why am I making such a big deal over the name? Well, personally I am pretty sure I could start using it, however I don't want to do that only to find out that someone else truly owns it. I would like to wait until I have official clearance from the State before I begin using it.

So, how does this affect St. Clair Shores Radio, why am I taking a hiatus from the show, and when can you expect a new episode of St. Clair Shores Radio.

My main reason for the hiatus is concerns over copyrights, and how it applies to my show.

If you have ever listened to a full episode of St. Clair Shores Radio, you've most likely noticed towards the end of the show I usually have some kind of a copyright notice referring to a company. (Previously Big E Entertainment). I have since found out that Big E Entertainment is currently being used in another State outside of Michigan, so I have decided I will no longer be using that name to represent my shows. Once my new company name is registered with the State I will begin to use that one in place of Big E Entertainment. But, as I stated earlier I can't use the new name until the State approves it.

I want to make sure that the correct copyright info is being relayed during the shows, I don't want to end up giving out the wrong info and then end up having someone else owning the rights to my shows because I made a mistake in giving out the wrong info.

If all goes to plan, this hiatus should only last a week or two. I've been told it will take only 3 to 4 days for my paperwork to reach the state. I know for a fact my papers were sent out today (Friday). However, after the State receives my paperwork, I have no idea how long it will take them to process them. I can only hope that it's not long so that I can get confirmation of my new company name and get back to doing what I do best, making new shows for you the listeners. I would like to personally thank you, the listeners for your patience during this process. I am quite excited about this new company, and the unlimited possibilities that come with owning it.

As a way of saying thanks, I will be doing some tweaking to the format of St. Clair Shores Radio, to improve the content and quality of the shows. You should notice some of these changes once I begin to create new shows.

If you have some comments you would like to share with me on what you would like to see happen with the show, please send me an e-mail as soon as you can: scsradio@yahoo.com. I am always open to new suggestions as well as constructive criticism about the show.

Thanks again for your patience, I hope to be back on the air as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Erik Anderson
Executive Producer and Host
