For those who were sending mojo to the Choirmaster at the Temple of Jobs, it appears to have worked. As of this morning Radioactive State is officially listed on iTunes, and just in time for the first new episode under the new format that will be going live tomorrow.

All you have to do to pick the show up for your Apple mobile device is to clicky this particularly handy podcast subscribing iTunes link. From there, hit the “Subscribe” button, and you’ll be set. Of course, if you’ve been listening to the show thus far and would like to leave a note telling others how cool it is – or just click the stars for a fast ‘review’ – I’m certainly not going to complain about that.

If you’re picking the show up in an RSS reader, or a podcatcher, the feed is at http://www.radioactivestate.com/feed/podcast – potentially a change for some of you, since I had to switch the podcasting plugin I was using.

Before anyone freaks out – no, I’m not planning to abandon Radioactive State. To be honest, very little could probably get me to stop this particular side project, as it brings me far too much joy. While I’m no longer DJing out in the clubs, this show still allows me to share music, which is what I always used to love. (And hey, I don’t have to lug craploads of music from place to place!)

The problem is that I haven’t really been thinking like a radio-style DJ when it comes to Radioactive State. I’m still thinking like a club DJ, and that’s just not working with this format. Let me explain….

I had several requests for a nerdcore & geek music podcast after the last episode, which I have taken up the call for. Perhaps because I’m a flaming geek myself, this one is probably the easiest bunch I’ve compiled to date.

Some of them are artists you most likely know – which means that part of this next upcoming podcast will be a great singalong for some of you. Others are a bit more off the beaten path, but definitely worth a listen.

That said, this one will probably weigh in nearer to the 45 minutes mark as opposed to my regular 30, but considering the level of interest this genre seemed to get, I don’t think you’ll mind it too much.

Be sure to check back on Wednesday when Radioactive State, Episode 4 goes live! (And on time this week!)

Hey everyone. My apologies on the silence, but I’ve been nose-down in the learning of stage management thanks to the people at Jobsite Theater. The play I’m currently involved with, boom!, closes this weekend – and that means I’ll be back to regular musical podcasting from now on. (Thankfully now that I’ve gone through the initial learning phase, it also means I won’t have to read “Stage Management for Dummies” again. Well, hopefully not anyway!)

The next show is going to be a salad of springtime stuff with both energetic and more laid-back songs in the mix. So be sure to check back on Wednesday Thursday when Radioactive State Episode #3 goes live!

Oh, and yes, still working on that iTunes feed thing. They’ve rejected it twice now, but I’ll keep at it.

Having done a few months on Post Apoc Radio inside the MMO Fallen Earth, I’ve come to realize that I desperately miss DJing. As such, after looking very closely at the projects I’ve been doing, the time they take, and what I’d really like to do with 2010, I’ve opted to change a few things around. Instead of broadcasting on Post Apoc Radio, I’m opting to channel my love of sharing music with folks into a 30 (or so) minute podcast that will showcase interesting music you may not have heard.

Since I’d really rather like to stay on the outside of a jail cell, and as I don’t have insane amounts of money for ASCAP/etc. licensing (or civil fees for using that music without licenses) I’ll be doing things a bit differently. The music I’ll be using will primarily be bands that are either releasing under Creative Commons licenses, or bands that I am able to get written permission to feature. Also, to save confusion: if a show is all CC-licensed music, I’ll release that episode under Creative Commons as well. Obviously, if I get a piece that is under a special written license, I’ll point the song out in the show notes so nobody gets in trouble, and of course it means that show will not be released under a CC license.

I already have a handful of shows planned out. The first will start in more of my traditional vein: an industrial dance/alternative feel. The ones after that? Well, I won’t spoil the surprise as to the themes and bands. The important things to know about me are:

• I listen to just about everything with the primary exception of gangsta rap
• I’m really fond of audio silliness, covers, and other miscellaneous tidbits.

For now, best to focus on getting the outlines in place and getting this site set up. Soon, however, I shall start recording and releasing the podcasts. I hope you’ll listen in!
