Episode Six of RFC

Originally posted on September 28, 2006 (with production notes hitting PopCult a day earlier) was "Chris Hero Shirt," named after the wrestler, Chris Hero who is now with WWE as Kassius Ohno. This show includes music from Professor Mike and Two Watts of Power, and a comedy short by The No Pants Players.

For some reason this episode had a trailer, which can be seen at the bottom of this post. Production notes, complete with bad links and missing graphics, follow the show...

Radio Free Charleston Production Notes: Episode Six

The new RFC should be online tomorrow. We wrapped it on Tuesday and I delivered it yesterday between changing flat tires on my car. You can see a snippet of Professor Mike’s performance in the new GazzTV show, “What’s Going On.” Show number six cranks up the hyperactivitization level a bit as we bring you our loudest band yet, the aforementioned Professor Mike, and the mysterious  musical cabal known as Two Watts Of Power, who also give us our song of the week in the post below this one.

Episode Six is titled “Chris Hero Shirt,” named after the shirt I’m wearing in the show (The shows are named after my shirts, you may have caught on to that by now). Chris Hero is the reigning Heavyweight Champion of IWA East Coast, and it’s a really cool shirt.

Episode Five of RFC

From September 8, 2006, it's "The Beatles Shirt," featuring tons of cool stuff that you can read about in the production notes below. This was the first show to bring you footage shot at The Empty Glas, and we made a big deal about it then, but now we seem to shoot most of our guests there or at The Blue Parrot.  Remember, most links are dead, the show is embedded here and is not at GazzTV, and keep your arms inside the ride at all times.

Radio Free Charleston Production Notes: Episode Five

Episode Five of Radio Free Charleston, featuring Kevin Duffer, The Appalachian Celtic Consort, Pentagram Flowerbox, and cut-ins by IWA East Coast, is online now. We had lots of adventures producing this show, which is a departure in many ways from our normal format. It’s our longest show so far, by five minutes, and we’re trying several new things. Without any further ado, let’s go behind the scenes.

The host segments were shot by Melanie Larch on Labor Day in South Charleston. Mel was just hired to sing the role ofMercedes in the upcoming production of the opera “Carmen” by the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra. Yes, it’s Bizet in the hizz-ouse. What other internet video shows can say they have famous opera singers running camera? I don’t know if it shows, but I was not quite at 100% during production of the new RFC. I’ve been fighting a food-allergy problem for a couple of weeks, and I think it’s a bit obvious.
