Experimenting with Blogger

For the past 2 1/2 years I've been using MySpace to network my world music radio program, The Eastern Hemisphere. Since fewer people are using that site these days, I'm trying out other options for getting the word out about my show. Check this blog for weekly playlists with the names of artists, songs, and albums (unless I don't have that info) listed chronologically in case you want to learn more about something you hear. There might be other updates of interest to bellydancers and world music fans, too. As stated, this is an experiment. We'll see how it goes.

You can also find me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/amckinn

And on FriendFeed: http://friendfeed.com/amckinn

And, of course, the ubiquitous Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=197001767&ref=name

Only this blog will be 100% dedicated to The Eastern Hemisphere radio, however. Stay tuned!
