The site received the following email from Talksport:

Hi

I am a producer at talkSPORT radio in London. We are launching a new feature on our overnight show whereby we speak to Supporters clubs around the world.

I was just wondering if you would be interested in appearing on our show one night a week to discuss Fulhams’s form as they head into the backend of the season?

Regards

George

Anybody willing and able? Perhaps the perfect opportunity for someone who has been with us since the first version of the site and writes articles.

Well, if nobody else is interested, I'll be willing to give it a shout. Now that I'm retired, there's a lot more of my own time available. Send me what details you have via email and give them my email.

I think it would be a good thing to get more than one of us involved. I'm thinking a woman of strong opinions who has lived near Leeds, went to college in Houston, and now resides by a lake somewhere where they have snow. Was I as subtle as you, Senator?

Maybe not quite as subtle.

Great opportunity for free press for the site!

Wait a second

How about another clue about the 2 people you guys are talking about?

Nice of you to think of me Hatter. I'm certainly willing to do it but I would prefer it to be as part of a team with you; it would be more fun. I actually did this once for an online skype broadcast in England called Sports Live Tonight since no one on here volunteered. It was fun and I dont think I came off looking too overly stupid and ignorant, just a little.

However this shakes out, please keep us posted. Do we know if the show is available for streaming? Any chance to hear it on this side of the pond?

If it's the same station I occasionally listen to on my lunch hour (when I get one), yes.

I listen to it via an app on my iPod called "TuneIn Radio" (yes, it's free, at least when I obtained it).

When you get the app, you can browse by location, via continent (Europe), country (United Kingdom), then pick "Most Popular."

It's the ninth choice down the dropdown list, between Capital London 95.8 (Top 40 Pop) and Choice FM 107.1 (Hip Hop).
It's called "talkSPORT 1089 (Sports Talk).

You can mark as a preset, kind of like on your car radio.

They're fairly entertaining lads, but they don't seem to talk about Fulham much, at least when I've listened to them. This would be an opportunity to change that.

Right now there's a program on called "Andy Goldstein's Sports Bar." Right now they're spewing about DiMatteo and the dog trackers and Arsenal, Van Persie and Wenger. Typical, and not that unexpected really, since Arsenal just bowed out of the CL for this season to Milan, thought they gave it quite a go, didn't they?

[SCFulhamFan]

Thanks Jump! They have it for the android as well. There is a free one and I got to talkSPORT as you described.

Excellent. Thank you!

The Senator told me that Skype is free, but my desktop doesn't have a microphone. I have recently gotten a new Macbook Pro that I'm only using for my new business endeavor -- for tax purposes -- that does have an inbuilt mic. Can anyone tell me if Apple makes a program similar to Skype, or if there's a version of Skype for Macs?

And I love the idea of tag-teaming with Ms. Maureen. I did a few podcasts with timmyg and various Brits, but timmy left that site for Craven Cottage Newsround.

Brilliant job at setting this up, everybody.

And, I'd be very interested in dropping into a broadcast, if for nothing else, than to put my audience to sleeeeeeeeeep.

Just go to skype.com and click on "get skype." There you will see the different downloads for each platform, including Mac. You'll need to create an account, which is free. After that the program will walk you through testing the sound and web cam features. You don't need to use the webcam if you don't want to, you can "call" others. Skype to Skype is free and there are some optional pay plans to use the call feature to call landlines and mobiles.

I hope this works out for the site as it would be good way to get the site's name out there. But it's still early. And I wonder what time and day these segments take place. Overnight in the UK can still be pretty late here in the States.

[HatterDon]

give me a couple of days to get my feces assembled, and I'll let the Senator and Ms. Maureen know when I've downloaded it/figured out how to make it work.
