Howdy Coyotistas!
Our seventh weekend of experimental community radio broadcasting on AM 1670, started with volunteer Phil Hammon and I tweaking the station mixing board, software and preamps.
Some good news came out of this: the weekend broadcast can now be heard on south Mount Vernon Street, down White Spar Road to town and spots further north in town. Amusingly, the signal is very strong directly in front of Yavapai County Jail on Gurley Street. Please let us know when you first hear the broadcast so we can adjust our broadcast map.
Another cool Bit of Coyote this weekend: Prescott Mayor Jack Wilson appears on Prescott Arts Beat on our sister station, KJZA (89.5FM) this Sunday, March 9th at noon. Hizzoner will be answering questions about his 2050 Visioning Committee and wait til you hear this Andrew's 5 Big Questions!
On to the AM 1670 broadcast for this weekend! This weekend we bring you DJ sets from Studio A in The Raven Cafe building - Carey Wade's "Imaginary Roller Skating Rink Soundtrack" and Sarah Lehigh's "Spotlight on: The B52's;" also famed alt-60's DJ Leslie Stevens' off the beaten path good time oldies, an interview with hot new noir crime fiction writer Megan Abbott, Bob Wright's Baseball History, Coyote Radio Theater explores the nature of evil squirrel's again and a whole lot more.
Tune in, Stay in and warm up, that's what we say!

We also discuss her novel Queenpin's Broadway musical potential and the best way to get those pesky bloodstains out of your favorite cocktail dress."

(12:20 pm) Crazy Dog Audio Theatre - "Invasion from Planet Vampire" Roger Gregg's hilarious send up of sci fi convention, taped at a Sci Fi convention in Ireland. Its just the best radio theatre happening in the English speaking world today. Just ask the Irish Times. Or the Coyote Radio staff.
(1:00 pm) DJ - "Imaginary Roller Skating Rink Soundtrack" - from Studio A in The Raven Cafe building - DJ Carey Wade puts together a night at the oval for us all.
