Not exactly a rough ride

I caught most of the first episode of the "Coaches Show" on CKRM last night. First, there were the ever-popular "technical difficulties". Nice to see Harvard's crack engineering staff hasn't lost it's touch! Next, Danny Barrett fielded a grand total of two calls during his segment. Not exactly raked over the coals, was he? In hindsight, a brilliant move by Coach Barrett to volunteer for last night's show. Nothing like a little non-abrasive media time to soothe the nerves.

So, to what do we attribute the lack of pointed questions and irate opinions? Well, either the message board haters lost their nerve - which wouldn't surprise me - or they didn't know about the show. I suppose CKRM could have done a little better job of promoting it externally. Not that I don't enjoy listening to Rod, Joe and John - but a little audience participation is always nice too. Well, hopefully they get the bugs ironed out for next week. The show is a nice addition to 'RM's lineup - keep that talk radio coming!
