Things to know about tonight!

Hi everyone! I am really excited about tonight's show and I am looking forward to all of the returning Baubles and hoping to make a few new! I just thought I would mention a few things now (so I don't get so flustered during the show):

• The show will go live at 8:30pm
• The show plays in that player over there to the right
• When the show goes live, it will have a "Listen Live Now" button. In the meantime, feel free to pull down and listen to an old show with Melissa Peterman, Tiffany, Autumn McEntire or some Big Brother folks!
• See the top of the screen? There's a button that says Chat Live. Click it and you'll be able to join us in the chat room during the live broadcast!
• Can't listen to the show live? No worries, the show will live in that little player to the right and is also available on iTunes for FREE! Just click the iTunes button at the tip top of this page.
• I'm planning on taking the show 90 minutes tonight and I will do my absolute best to take as many calls as I can. If I don't take your call or you get dropped, I promise it is not personal. Most shows have a staff, I am just one person still learning the ropes myself!
• In order to accommodate more callers, try and have your question for Lance or Wendy ready when we take your call.
• Feeling shy? Ask your question in the chat room or email me in advance at thebaubshow@gmail.com
• Most importantly, we are all here to have fun, so be kind to each other in the chat room. If we still have more questions for Lance, it will just be a great excuse to have him on again!

See you tonight!

First Show, First Guests... Here we go!

Even though Madonna says, "he has to go", Kevin Costner was on to something when he said, "if you build it, they will come." Well, he actually didn't say it, a bunch of whispering ghosts said it and actually some writer in Hollywood told them to say it, but it is still true nonetheless!

I started building, and now it is coming together! Last year, I premiered The Baub Show on LiveVideo.com. Unfortunately, I am not sure we were all on the same page and the internal politics of the website eventually caused an implosion. The experience left me with trepidations about doing the show elsewhere, because if I am going to do it, I want to do it right. And right to me, means a budget and time to commit fully to the project.

Then a few months ago, I met my new friend Pauly (who feels like I've known forever), who runs his own show called, "Pauly and Marky's Fruit Salad Show" over at BlogTalkRadio. The second I listened to it, my blood started pumping and my heart felt warm, because I knew this was the perfect format for me right now.

When I was 15, I moved from Washington to California and began recording radio shows for my friend Paula. It was called "B.A.U.B. Radio" and there are few things in my life I can remember being so committed to! That was also the resurrection of the Baub monicker and I have maintained it ever since.

With modern technology what it is, I can chat with my friends about anything I want for an hour each week and my friends can call in and join me! The best part is, if you miss the live broadcast, you can subscribe and download the podcast to your iPod via iTunes! This was a huge problem with the video show, as no one wanted to sit still in front of their computers for 45 minutes watching (and honestly, I don't blame them. I have a hard time watching a full TV show online when I miss it.)

I'm going live for the very first "official" time this Tuesday at 8:30pm PST! Come right back here to this website and we will be broadcasting live from that little player in the upper right corner (where you can still hear my test show with "Lucy" and "Sizzle" (featuring the hysterical "Theodore Remix of Jane Wiedlin's Tangled)). You can also visit blogtalkradio.com/theBaubShow to sign up for email notifications and visit the live chat room (I am hoping to have one here by this Tuesday's show).

Now for the best part! For my first show, there were only two guests that I wanted and they both said yes immediately. Jake Walden and Jessie McNamara were my first guests when The Baub Show premiered last summer and I'm honored to have them back to talk about the last year and play a little music!

Please join us! I don't know if I am ready for you to tell your friends yet, but I am definitely wanting my friends at my new party!
