I have now been doing radio shows on MSP Waves for 9 months. The steem blockchain has been through a heck of a lot in that time.
Since I started a whole bunch of steem related radio shows and radio stations have come and gone. Steem radio has survived but I cannot say it has thrived.
I thought therefore it might be a useful exercise to take a rain check on steem based radio shows - what works well, what doesn't, how can we make it grow...?
So I've invited a big bunch of radio show hosts from MSP Waves and beyond to chew the fat, kick some ideas around and see what pops out.
It is going to be a bit free form and hopefully going to be a bit of fun.
It will also be great to hear from listeners - what works for you and what doesn't.
Who is coming on the show
We have a good range of guests already signed up to come on the show...

What we will be talking about
The show will be quite free form but these are some of the topics and questions I hope we can cover...
Is broadcast radio still a suitable format for the steem blockchain?
Will new live streaming technologies change how we output radio shows?
What technologies should we be using for shows now? And in a year's time?
What sort of content works best for steem based radio shows?
How can a host/show add value to MSP and the wider Steem user base?
Is using licensed music still viable?
Should show guests be rewarded for being on shows?
How should radio shows and radio stations be funded?
Do we need to start taking advertising?
Will SMTs be the answer for funding radio stations?
For sure there will be more guests and more questions added by Thursday.
It should be a pretty lively show.
Just to throw one little spice ball in there @globocop will be doing a reveal during the show of something new coming to MSP.
And if all goes well I might be giving out some Whalecoins and Airplay tokens to members of the audience actively engaged with the show.
Thank you to @freedomexists and @seveaux for donating these tokens.
