I miss the Retro Lunch show! :sad:
...okay, now that I have that out of my system...
First - I'm glad the podcasts are back. I'm looking forward to picking up all the tips and information I can from them.
Second - (and I'm sure this has been discussed before) I have never understood why the site itself is free to use.
[RANT]
I get the concept of free V/O's and production work and the artists here honing their skills and the possible business benefits of helping out those who wouldn't normally have access to such an amazing pool of talent.
I get the option of being able to offer donations to have the aforementioned talent do work for you that would normally cost 10's if not 100's of dollars.
I get free membership for V/O and production artists.
But people like me who have nothing to offer in the way of V/O or production talent
SHOULD PAY for membership to RadioDaddy to have access to these services -
period!
I don't know the math and I don't want to know the math. I'm sure the RD staff have discussed this and worked it out but in my humble opinion there shouldn't be an option to be a free member other than to look around and see what a truly amazing site this is before I plunk down my 6 bucks a month to gain the privilege of posting my requests.
I personally never give a second thought to "upgrading" my membership here. Again, I'm sure the RD staff has kicked around the numbers but would it really be prohibitive to require a paid membership in order to maintain the site? Wouldn't one of the possible side benefits be a kind of built in auto-sort to weed out the weenies making the day-to-day operation of RD not only easier but self-sustaining?
I want RadioDaddy to be around a long long time - for purely selfish reasons of course :tongue: - and for me, $6 a month (the cost of two energy drinks up here in Canadia) is more than worth it. I'd like to think more members feel the same way.

...did I mention I miss the Retro Lunch show?

*Edit - I should really proof-read before hitting the post button.
