This "Weekend Wildcard" is just a bit of a "State of the Union" one might say. I just waned to take a moment to tell you all about the show and the direction we will be going as far as scheduling and there will soon be some technology upgrades coming as it relates to equipment and mixing software.

The main shows will now be released bi-weekly on Mondays. Mid-week Minis will still come at you on Wednesdays on a weekly basis. The next main show will be released October 5, followed by October 19th, etc.

The show will still remain open topic and of course, listener suggestions still take preference so make sure to hit us up at Rantingsofthefatman@yahoo.com
