Another Stick podcast?

stradasphereradio@gmail.com (Juan R Leon) — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 09:28:11 PST

Hello folks!

Got a tip that another podcaster will be doing a special episode about the Stick.The all bass content podcast is called Bass Cast and you can find them on the web at Myspace.

New url for our old site!

stradasphereradio@gmail.com (Juan R Leon) — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 09:24:08 PST

We have a new url for our original site:

Strada-Sphere Radio

We have a new look with the same content which includes the original Strada-Stream.Please bear with us as we migrate all of our content (interviews,reviews,etc.) over to the new site.

The old address was too long and confusing to remember!
Of course you may still visit this blog and our Myspace site to get any up to date news and the latest episodes as well.

Thanx!

Shane Carey to host next show/Contest thread at Stickist.com Forums

stradasphereradio@gmail.com (Juan R Leon) — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 17:30:44 PST

Alright folks!
I am proud to announce that Shane Carey will be producing and hosting the next episode of the Strada-Sphere Radio Podcast! I will be sending along the contest files to Shane in the next week or so and he will be producing the show for a Febuary release.

I have created a thread for the contest at
Stickist.com and will soon be adding a poll where you will be able to cast your votes for the theme song contest winner.

Here is the thread post:

Strada-Sphere Radio Podcast Theme Song Contest Forum Thread

The contest episode will post in the 1st half of Febuary featuring all contest entries.Listen to the show then head on over to the thread to cast your vote.The poll will be open until the night before the announcement show is ready for download.We will open the show with the winning entry.Not even the winner will know the results of the contest untill the show!
Will I host the announcment show or will Shane? How about both of us? Well, we will have to wait and see.Hopefully I will have my new Mac by then and we could do a "Scype" show.
That's all for now.Thanx for stopping by and please visit to forum and leave any comments!

Take care!

Guest host?

stradasphereradio@gmail.com (Juan R Leon) — Sat, 20 Jan 2007 18:39:12 PST

Hello folks!

I wanted to share this e-mail with you all....

Hi Juan,

Sorry to hear about your Mac difficulties. I don't know how practical
it would be, with the contest going on and all that, but the offer still
stands to guest-host, or anything else I can do to help keep the
momentum going.
-shane

That was sent to me by Shane Carey,podcast host for the Nascent Music Podcast.

We are working out the details....

Stay tuned!

Juan

Podcast Delay

stradasphereradio@gmail.com (Juan R Leon) — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 17:31:34 PST

Due to technical difficulties (a dead Mac,to be exact!) the next Strada-Sphere Radio Podcast episode and the theme song contest winner announcement is on hold.My power Mac G4 needs an $800.00 logic board and I do not have that kind of cash at the moment.However,I weill be purchasing a new Mac instead of trying to fix my current tower.

So,what should I do about the contest? Should I go ahead and accept more song entries beyond the original Jan 31st deadline and do a "Welcome Back Mega Podcast Showcasing Every Theme Song Contest Entry I Recieve Untill I Get A New Mac Special Edition Of The Strada-Sphere Radio Podcast" and ask for your votes to pick a winner? Or,should I just stick to the original deadline of Jan 31st and cut off the contest then and call it done?Please let me know by posting comments at the Strada-Sphere Radio Myspace page or here on this blog.

Looking forward to hearing from all of you!

By the way,the next podcast will be an "enhanced podcast". Those of you who subscribe via the latest version of i-Tunes will be able to experience this version of the show.The "enhanced" version is sort of like watching a Flash movie as I will be adding "chapters" to the podcast which will contain pics,links,and additional extras accessible via i-Tunes.These "chapters" will correspond to the show's content and will add a unique twist to the podcast.You can experience the "enhanced" show in i-Tunes or on your i-Pod.Those of you not using i-Tunes will still be able to experinece the audio content.

Juan

Another show...

stradasphereradio@gmail.com (Juan R Leon) — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 18:15:59 PST

Hello Stickists!

Hope you all had a gread Christmas and that Santa Emmett left you all a brand new Stick!
I have been getting a few more submissions for the contest so I will do at least one more show before a winner is announced.I plan on doing it in the next week or two.In ight of this,I would like to set the deadline for submissions as the 31st of January,2007. I will announce a winner in the Febuary show so forget what I said in the last show (# 13)! You still have time to submit a 15-30 second tune.
Hit the woodshed and good luck!
And have a Happy New Year!

Juan

Merry Christmas and more...

stradasphereradio@gmail.com (Juan R Leon) — Sun, 24 Dec 2006 13:46:24 PST

Hello loyal listeners!

1st of all let me start off by wishing you a Merry Christmas!
2nd, I have created a LastFM a page for myself.For those of you who may not have heard of LastFM,it is an online community which allows other people in your "neighborhood" to see what you listen to via updated charts that report your listening habits.Other folks then listen to your picks,recommend music,artists,and so on.As you may have already guessed,there is a lot of Stick music on my charts!In fact,I have been listening to my i-Pod's "Stickists" play list pretty much all day and reporting it to Last FM via my media player (in this case,Amarok running on Linux).I encourage you to sign up and tune in!

Hello fellow Stickists,loyal listeners,and 1st time visitors!

I just recieved an advanced promo copy of
Steve Adelson's new CD, "Stickology" .Man,you guys are in for a treat!
Steve has graciously sent me this promo for the show and I will be playing some cuts on the next couple of episodes of Strada-Sphere Radio (Spanish and English). As you may or may not know (shame on ya if ya don't!),Steve has also pledged a finished production copy of the CD as part of the prize package I will be giving out to the winner of the Strada-Sphere Radio Podcast Theme Song Contest (Manny Tau of
Stickist.com has pledged a Stickist.com hat).Once ya hear what's on this disc,I am sure you will all be as excited as I am about Steve's new release.
This CD simply flat out jams!
So,stay tuned,relax,enjoy the Holidays,and be patient,new shows are on the way....

Thanx for the hits!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stradasphereradio@gmail.com (Juan R Leon) — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 09:28:11 PST

Just wanted to share some stats for the show.
I was browseing my stats page for the podcast and came across this....

Live Feed Hits As of Mon,Dec. 4th,2006 12:15 PM

(We're live and on the scene!)

25 hits in the last 4 and a half hours

Hmmm,if this is the average,damn,that's a lot.....
One can only dream!

Happy Holidays!

stradasphereradio@gmail.com (Juan R Leon) — Fri, 24 Nov 2006 18:23:00 PST

Hello Stickists,listeners,and curious folk from all planets...

First of all,a Happy Holiday season to all.I hope that the season finds everyone in good health and high spirits.
As you can imagine,the holidays can be very busy for all of us.I am no exception!So,the next episode may not be up untill....? I have been recieveing entries for the theme song and will continue to accept them (see last post).I still plan on announcing a winner by Jan/Feb of 2007. Manny from Stickist.com has offered a Stickist logo cap and Steve Adelson has offered his forthcoming CD as well. I'll see if I can rustle up some other goodies as well.
So,the next show may be a while so please sit tight.In the meantime,take time to call an old friend,visit a loney soul in a nursing home,help feed the homeless at a local shelter for the holidays,make amends with those who have hurt you (or whom you have hurt).And in the words of Bill and Ted's mentor and super cool future dude Rufus:

"Be Excellent to each other!"

Strada-Sphere Radio Intro Song Contest!!!

stradasphereradio@gmail.com (Juan R Leon) — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 17:37:35 PST

Alright folks,seems to be some interest for the theme song contest I have been kicking around and mentioned in the last post.So,let's do it!
So far,Manny Tau,super web guru at Stickist.com,has already said he would donate a Stickist.com hat to the Prize Wagon.So,we have that and hopefully more folks will get on board.

Here are the rules...

1. Must be at least 15 seconds but no more than 30 seconds in leangth.

2. Must be Stick based (duh!) and can either be intrumental or vocal,solo or ensemble.

3. Must be your own original work.

4. Must be in MP3 format

5. Only 1 submission per Stickist,please. <------Scratch that!The more the merrier!

6. Must be submitted by December 31st,2006 to:

stradasphereradio@gmail.com

I will play all submissions on the 1 year anniversary show in Feb of 2007 where I will announce the winner. I am thinking about asking those folks who have donated prizes to help in picking the winner.

The winner will recieve (this list may grow!):

A Stickist.com hat donated by Manny Tau of Stickist.com

Steve Adelson e-mailed me and told me that he would send me his next CD that should be done by the end of November.So that will probably end up in the prize wagon.

Your song played as the intro for a years worth of the Strada-Sphere Radio podcast (from Feb 2007-Feb 2008).

Recognition and pride for serving the Stickist community and spreading the word about the Chapman Stick!

So,what do ya think? I am open to suggestions.Please post comments here or e-mail them to

stradasphereradio@gmail.com

Thanx and good luck!

Juan
