Hello. The following posting also appears at one of our other blogs: BushmanBooks.blogspot.com
I invite your readership there as we talk more about the show, do a review of books, and have some trivia questions there. In the meantime...
That Doggone Radio Program....Again
The station and its website (http://www.GoingBeyondRadio.com) are back
and we'll be back on-air on the first Wednesday in December (the 4th)
with the guest we were supposed to to have on, during our most recently
scheduled program, Larry Hancock.
Producer Chuck was unavailable for a couple of weeks, but he's back now
and arrangements have been made to make sure the station doesn't go
South if he goes on vacation, becomes ill, etc.
When we come back, Larry will join us for the full hour. We could do a
show on this coming Wednesday, but since it's the night before
Thanksgiving in the U.S. we'd likely only have our listeners who are in
other countries. So, it's 12/4.
Also on the following Wednesday, we'll have a long-time friend of mine,
Steve Lyttleton, as our guest. Steve and I will talk about civility and
our differing political views, though I suspect we'll agree on enough
things to surprise both of us.
We'll then be dark again on 12/18 and 12/25. The 18th is because of my
book club meeting and the following week is for some holiday or other.
On January 1, 2014, I'm planning on doing a show alone - and not just
because everyone else will be recovering from a hangover. The plan is to
talk about the need for people to start businesses and avoid being
"wage slaves."
In connection with that, I'm a major believer in business and capitalism
and after some major effort, I'm making a living (sort of) while not
being employed by anyone. That said, when the sign in the men's room
says that employees have to wash their hands before returning to work, I
wash my hands anyway.
Reaching Us
Now there are a couple of ways to contact us. The big question: why
would you want to reach us? Actually, I can think of a couple of
reasons.If you've read any of my books or listened to the radio program,
you might want to tell me what an idiot I am, or you may wish to
express an opinion that's different from mine on a given subject. Or
maybe you want to suggest a guest. If you know an author that's
self-published a book and it's not about religion, you can let me know
how to reach her/him. Or, perhaps you know someone who was involved in
early television. We'd probably love to talk to that person.
As is true of most of you, there are two ways to make contact: phone and
e-mail. As to the latter, the e-mail address is: tjbRadio@gmail.com
You can now call and leave a message, as well. The number is:
206-339-5905. Please keep your message short, and if you'd like to be on
the air to express your opinion, please leave a phone number where you
can be reached on a Wednesday evening between 9 and 10 PM Eastern time.
If you're not reachable then, but still want your call on, leave your
name, number, and when you can be reached. We may call and record your
conversation (after you give permission) for later broadcast.
Ciao For Now
Because I'm really tired, I'm stopping now, but I look forward to seeing you on the radio, and you would honor us by following us on Twitter: jeffbushman1
Thanks.

What Happened to That Radio Show?
Our Radio Program
Today's November 18, 2013. Hardly momentous by most standards, of course, but I'm writing that to place this post within a time frame.
Last Wednesday, we were supposed to go live on our radio program aired on GoingBeyondRadio.com. Instead, when we tried to go on, what happened was nothing. It was really too bad, because our guest, Larry Hancock (who you've heard before if you've been a long-time listener) was all ready.
Larry is an author who's written about the JFK and MLK assassinations along with the secret wars of the CIA and he's a great guest. We and the audience always have a great time. He's very bright and the fact that he's also a really nice human comes through during our conversations.
In any event, when I tried to go the website of Going Beyond Radio, we found that the website couldn't be loaded (and I probably should've been). After a few days of this, and my e-mail not generating a response from our inimitable leader and producer, Chuck Manning, I'd assumed that my recent order of business cards had killed the station, just as sure as a car wash generates a rainstorm.
It appears that the truth is somewhat less melodramatic. I spoke to the station's other principal today, who said that Chuck had to be away and that the server went down, and no one else was around to bring it back up.
Therefore, we should be back up, shortly on Chuck's return.
That said, I was planning on not doing a show this coming Wednesday since it's my once a month Wednesday off, to attend a club meeting and I was also going to be dark (not just from the AZ sun) the following week because it's the night before Thanksgiving.
So, if all goes according to plan, we'll return to air on the first Wednesday in December and Larry Hancock is scheduled to join us then.

Other Radio
I think I've used these pages previously, to recommend Stitcher.com and TuneIn.com
If not, I do it now. When our show's back up, you can get our show on Stitcher as a podcast. You can do that at their site, or you can download a free app for your I-Phone or Android smart phone. You can also get many more radio programs through the Stitcher app, so no matter what you're interested in, e.g., politics, news, jazz or other music, education, etc., Stitcher's the way to go. The app and all the programs are the perfect price: free.
TuneIn also has a free app, and I like it for a lot of reasons. If a storm happens in Illinois, or a marathon is going on in New York City, you can use TuneIn to go to a station local to that area and hear local news reports. That you can do that on your phone, still amazes me. I recently listened to news on WCBS in NYC on marathon day, prior to the race and it was a lot better coverage than I could've gotten anywhere else. Similarly, a couple of years ago, when the storm hit Japan and was threatening a tsunami in Hawaii, I listened to the NPR station in Honolulu.
Same deal. As said, the app is free as is all the programming. If you don't have a smart phone (and that now makes you a minority), you can go to TuneIn's website, TuneIn.com
Two shows I'd recommend on Stitcher both involve politics, one left-ish and one right-ish. Rachel Maddow is very well informed, educational and entertaining. Morning Joe, hosted by a former Florida Congressman is more conservative, and equally entertaining (though a bit less educational because of its format).

The Story on I-Tunes and Our Show
Hello. Modernly, you can listen to whatever you want, by going to i-tunes (after downloading the program of the same name) and "subscribing" to the podcasts in which you have an interest. Thereafter, you get notified when a new episode is downloaded.
I'm soon going to have a program available there, but before that you can listen to a variety of programming and the price is right. It's all free. You can do something similar at libsyn.com, but i-tunes is more extensive. There are thousands of available programs - talk, music, anything.
Speaking of programs, here's a lineup of what's coming up on our show (and you can follow me on Twitter; my handle is jeffbushman1). Our archived programs can be heard at http://GoingBeyondRadio.com/JeffBushman and the live shows can be heard on Wednesdays, starting at 9:00 PM Eastern time at the same location, without the slash and my name. On November 6 we'll be conversing with JT Sather, who wrote a book on his experiences of becoming homeless and prior to that, two different wives leaving him. That was interesting, and we'll talk a bit about that, but he also has a new work coming out about how he lived out a revenge fantasy and was almost charged with the federal crime of kidnapping. It's a very funny read and available for 99 cents. We'll talk about that and his writing career.
On November 13, in observance of the coming anniversary of the assassination of JFK, we'll be talking to author Larry Hancock. Larry's an amazing guy and has now written several books. His seminal work on the Kennedy Killing is "Someone Would Have Talked." He and I will talk for the full hour that night.
November 20, we're dark, and we'll likely not do a program on November 27, either, because the next day is Thanksgiving. Then, on the first Wednesday in December we'll have Stephen Lyttleton, who's an old friend of mine and someone who disagrees with most of my political views. We've promised not to yell at each other and he's an interesting guy with a terrific sense of humor.
With the exception of the show with Larry on 11/13, all of the shows will also feature celebrity birthdays and This Week In History, along with the headlines and a discussion of the economic impact of news items. And, of course, if you wish to call in, you can.
If you have a guest to suggest and know how to contact them, please feel free to drop a note. The address is tjbRadio@gmail.com.
Also, to do more plugs. You can read another of our blogs at http://BushmanBooks.blogspot.com
You can also buy any and all of what you'd otherwise buy at Amazon, by going through that page. It won't cost you more, and it'll throw a few coins at us. There's also a link to the books I've written.
Thanks for reading and we'll see you on the radio.
