Join me every Thursday night at 10pm Eastern time for SecondHand Radio on Talkshoe! SecondHand Radio is an hour-long show featuring lots of bloggity goodness each week. I’ll feature a different blogger on each episode and it’s a nice casual conversation, filled with laughter, insights, and random topics.

You can listen live or download the show for later listening. There are two ways to listen live: the regular Web interface (use the above link) or the Talkshoe Live client, which you can download here. The downloadable client gives you a timeline chat interface, shown below.

You can click on the image for a bigger look. Yes, there’s a chatroom available during the show and it gets pretty active. Listening live is the way to go! The downloadable client isn’t required - you can use the Web interface, too - but I like the Live client better. Your mileage may vary.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR GUESTS

1. You’ll want to go and register with Talkshoe if you haven’t already done so. You’ll enter your phone number as your PIN number. This makes it very simple to call in to the show…as soon as you do so, your phone number is recognized and you’ll show up in the Talkshoe Live client.
2. It’d be great if you can come up with some possible topics to talk about and send them to me in a bullet list. This list can be about anything you want to discuss…funny stories, how you got started blogging, areas of expertise, etc. Send them to me at karl@secondhandkarl.com - and if there are any taboo topics - things you don’t want to talk about - include those, too.
3. Promote yourself on the show by telling your blog readers about it ahead of time. Tell your readers there’s a chatroom where they can join in on the show’s fun, ask questions, and they are also welcome to call in! You can point them to the following link for the show: http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/23738
   
4. The show is all about you, seriously. It’ll go by quickly and I strive to make it a nice, casual conversation. Yes, other people are invited to call in, but there’s nothing to be nervous about.
5. Show time is 10pm Eastern time. If you don’t know what that converts to in your time zone, use the Time Zone Converter. Show up in the chatroom maybe five minutes early or so.
6. Call in a few minutes before show time. The call-in number is (724) 444-7444. Then you’ll be asked for the Call ID, which is 23738. Then you’ll just wait on hold until I unmute you and bring you on the air. You’ll be able to hear the show through your phone before then.
   
7. You’re free to say anything and everything you want. Yes, you can swear. Just be yourself and everything will be great.
8. That’s all there is to it! Easy!

Obviously, you’re welcome to contact me before the show with any questions or concerns. Thanks for being a guest on SecondHand Radio!
