Yes, it is nearly impossible to get something here that is not dubbed. If I want to watch a movie in the Original version I ususally have to wait for the DVD - we have some cinemas showing the original version but only some selected ones.
That interview was good. Adam is very articulate and I usually understand him very well - and I feel here he tones it down even more.
Unfortunately the show is shown in the morning with not many viewers and no chance to introduce him to more people. I hope next time when he will be here for Adam 2 he will be able to be on an interesting show in the evening - especially for his target group.

Obviously we need our Atopian engineers/computer geeks to get right to work building that iBert app. Get going!  We needed it yesterday. |

Does anyone really know much about this radio station? It is an online-only station. I think it's lovely that they are airing this program, but I'm having trouble getting too excited about what seems like "home-made" radio. My feeling is that the audience for Angelina's program is online Adam fans. I may be all off here. This is all I can find on their Web site that explains the station: "We are an online radio station offering a mix of Talk and Music titles of different genres. If you would like us to broadcast your recorded productions email us at info@mywordradio.com for further details." Does anyone know more? What kind of listenership? I put your question about www.mywordradio.com to Angelina, and this is what she said: "The station is a combination of BBC Radio 4 and Classical FM, so if you listen to it, you'll see they only really present more good, "serious" stuff and they're really into books and poetry, but they do play pop music too from time-to-time - not sure about the likes of Gaga or anyone like that - at the moment anyway - don't know if they plan to do something like that in the future - have a suspicion, probably not. That's why they originally asked if I could present a programme on opera and specifically, the human vocal instrument.
The great thing about them is that they give new works and new artists a chance. We used to have a very beloved radio presenter in the UK, called John Peele, but sadly he died a few years back - he championed new work and new artists and was almost solely responsible for the careers of many famous pop/rock artists and this radio station, mywordradio, seems to be trying to fill the gap left by that remarkable man - but in a slightly different manner - as I said, mostly with writers and poets, but now also with ADAM in the UK!!!
I believe their listeners are from around the world, but obviously mostly UK based and although I've asked, they don't currently have a way of telling the demographic, so no info available on age-groups, or occupation, etc. However, they are able to tell me how many peeps and from which countries/cities are online at any one time. Because of the content of the programmes, I get a feeling that their listenership is a very wide age-range, because even though I don't listen all the time, the few times that I have been on there, I've found some quite "young" books, too, and interesting works by female and gay writers - the owner of the station is herself, I believe, a lesbian. But it put me in mind of Adam's audiences at the GNT's I attended, so in the end I agreed to present a programme only if I could also talk about Adam's voice as well. If the "pop" stations won't play him, I figured it can't hurt to try to get him played on a more serious station.
They apparently have a large listenership during the day especially, and I imagine it's people working at computers who tune in whilst they're working, but we'd carefully researched the time to present my programme, because they knew that I wanted to include Adam's voice in as many of my programmes as I can, and I wanted as many people to be able, time-wise, to hear it.
That's all I know - for now! Hope it helps?"So, NO, it is not an on-line station for Adam fans. Wow, Mahalia. Thanks for posing the question to her.  I just wasn't coming up with anything on Google and the web site isn't impressive. That was very nice of Angelina to take the time with a lengthly response. I am most happy that non-Adam fans might be hearing her program. :D I did listen to it all on YouTube and even some of the interview with the pianist about Mendelssohn's "Songs without Words." (Being a classical musician myself, that was interesting too). Now, the sun just came out at long last. I'm outa here for a bit. 8-) |
