talksport radio/fusa volunteer

The site received the following email from Talksport:

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. :whistle:

 

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. :lol:

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Still haven't heard anything from talksport. But if it doesn't work out, maybe we can put together our own "show," like there was on the old site?

 

you should have a beer with hm sometime, Mo!

 

I got a response from talksport. Here's the latest:

I replied that we had several volunteers willing and able, but we would narrow it down to one if needed. And I also mentioned HatterDon's concern about calling overseas and if Skype or a Skype-like service would be used to eliminate the phone expense. Let me know if you guys have any more questions at this point.

Basically sounds like it would be a quick 5 min discussion about Fulham with one of our members on their program, along with a bunch of other club's supporters as well.
