New Radio Show

Hello everyone and welcome to Gordon Osmond Presents.

This article will tell you what to expect from this new program, how you can listen to it, live or later, and how you can actually be a part of the live broadcasts.

Throughout my rather longish life, I have been very fortunate to become acquainted with an outstanding collection of individuals in various fields—family, the law, the theatre, and the visual and literary arts. I want to share these people’s stories, and sometimes secrets, with the program’s listeners and to provide those listeners with an opportunity to join me in chatting with my guests.

Gordon Osmond Presents will be broadcast live over the facilities of the BlogTalkRadio network every Sunday afternoon, between 4 and 4:15 pm, Eastern Time. You can listen to the live program on your computer by linking to: blogtalkradio.com/gordonosmond. You can listen to a podcast of the programs at any later time by going to the same easy link. You can join the live broadcast and participate in the live discussion by calling into the program using the number 646.652.2245. This is not a toll-free number, but you can reduce the cost to nothing or next to nothing by using your regular long-distance calling plan or by using SKYPE. Your call can be as long as you like. To encourage call-ins, I’ll be giving an electronic copy of either of my novels, Turner's Point or Slipping on Stardust to each caller.

I’m extremely pleased to announce that my guests for the first two broadcasts are set. On August 31, I’ll be talking to James F. Broderick, followed by Jean Joachim on September 7. These remarkable authors both started out writing things other than books, and their back stories are both inspirational and instructive.

Through their books, I have become good friends with both although up until last Thanksgiving, I had met neither in person. On successive dates, in Manhattan, I shared a wonderful meal with each. If the restaurants had picked up the bill, I’d mention their names, but as they didn’t, I won’t.

My list for future broadcasts includes two women who broke new ground in the worlds of Wall Street law and banking, two authors who introduced me to the world of internet broadcasting, two writers of successful TV sitcoms, and a woman whom I met as an actor in my plays who is now a princess. That, by the way, is what we call progress.

My principal objectives in undertaking these broadcasts are to share these wonderful friends and to provide them podcast platforms that they can use in their future efforts. I hope that a growing listening base will support the continuation of these portraits of truly remarkable personalities. You can show that support by commenting upon this post below. Feel free to suggest future guests and the fields in which you are most interested.

Thank you, and happy listening!
