hi all,
so me and colin got a little drunk on lefe and red wine t'other night and did the pilot DiS radio show (its hardly the pilot of Quantum Leap, but what is?) to get used to using the equipment and to gain some practice and confidence before doing the first show proper. You can get a taste of what it will be like and download the pilot from: http://www.drownedinsound.com/radio/disradiopilot.mp3 (you're best off right clicking or holding down apple key and hitting save as)

Basically its a podcast (a big mp3 84minute file to download and stick on your mp3 player or play on your computer), we've tried to make it as dis-like as possible but we're not really sure if we've pulled it off. SO we wanna know what you honestly think.... is the mix of music right? is there anything we do too much of? is the tone of what we're talking about, about right? (we had no script or access to all the right info and we will work to a vague script for proper shows) do we over use or over do anything? i think it gets better as we go along and there are some slight issues with volumes, but we'll iron that all out. what would you like to hear on the first show proper?

Hope you like it and please be as critical as possible, we really need as much feedback as we can get to evolute.

Thank you and happy new year, may 2006 bring you treasures of the heart and soul!
