There is a recent book from Huntington Press called Rock Vegas: Live Music Explodes in the Neon Desert, by Pat Christenson. It covers concerts in Las Vegas over the past 30 or so years.
It’s not about gambling, but it is about Vegas, many players here have attended and/or are interested in musical events, and Huntington Press has been a big supporter for our show. So we’re going to have an episode on GWAE about this book.
Richard Munchkin is not opposed to such an episode, but it’s outside of his interests and knowledge so he thinks it would be better if we found another co-host for that one show.
So, are you interested in co-hosting? You’d have to read the book (a free copy will be provided —autographed if you wish) and when we do the podcast you’ll need to join in the conversation. Possibly the podcast will be done in-studio in Las Vegas and possibly it will be via Skype.
It’s an unpaid gig, so if you’re thinking about doing this for the money, think again. We can use your real name or a pseudonym, your choice. The perfect candidate will have a familiarity with and an interest in live music concerts.
If you’re interested, please send an email to [email protected] and explain why you’d be a good choice. I’ll pick the best two or three and do 3-minute interviews over the telephone to make sure you can speak in a way that can be understood, and that’ll be it.
We have had some “volunteers” and one has been selected — so this co-hosting gig is now closed. Thank you to all of you who considered this.
