I am amazed at so many things when it comes to this show, day in and day out. I have been looking at the stats and the locations that we are hitting and I want to thank EVERYONE from around the globe for listening in to the show. We are seeing a huge amount of people from France and England due to our awesome relationship with the band Televox. If you haven’t listened to Episode 81, check out the opening track “Lion in a Cage”, which rocked the socks off the listeners this week.

We were greeted this week by some great friends from NY that gave us their voices this week and also did what this show promotes, free speech. We heard from ThePete and his other half, Sierra and it was a great first show with them involved. As they can tell you from being on the show LIVE, it is an experience that has to be heard. The final cut and what happens in the virtual studio is hysterical, comedic, and down right funny. (call it what you will). Big thanks to them for being there, as well as Chaz, Brett, and Paul Swansen. If you want to join the show to listen to the live recording, you can. If you want to take part in the show, use the email address above, or hit me up on Twitter and let’s talk. I hope you enjoy the show, it is one of the best that we (I) have produced and I am proud to present “What, am I not being heard?” Episode 82 of Sound Check…

Also, U2 decides on Blackberry for  their sponsor for the upcoming tour.

Listen in and find out.
