Liner Notes:
I am pleased to announce that The Bopst Show, the humble, music loving podcast available each and every Monday for all your listening and downloading pleasures, is now being aired each and every Sunday, 10-12AM (EST-USA) on Austin, Texas internet station KAOS Radio Austin. As part of their, “Sunday Slander” programming, KAOS will be airing an old Bopst Show followed by the latest edition (this past week, they aired, “These Words Are All Fucked Up Episode 1” & “What You Is Episode 58”) to celebrate the Lord’s day as the Lord intended. The station is gloriously profane (no FCC regulations to worry about) featuring shows with names like, “Colostomy Grab Bag of Fun” (airing Mondays 10-12PM EST-USA), “Wake Up! & Smell the Corpse” (Fridays 4-6 PM EST-USA) and, “Saturday Night Drunk Club” (Saturdays, 8-10PM EST-USA). All the shows on Kaos are cataloged and easily downloadable so if you can’t listen live, you can listen when you have the time.
And this is an idea I’ve been pitching for a while now to the powers that be at this fine site; RVANews Radio. To begin with, RVA could set up a handy link that would stream episodes of the Bopst Show, Tall Tales for Short Attention Spans and tracks recorded live at Ipanema all together. Later, news reports from the neighborhood blogs, tracks from local bands and audio versions of articles and columns featured here could be posted as well. Of coarse, this is easier said than done, but to be able to just click a link that would play hours and hours of locally based programming would create yet another reason to visit this site on a daily basis.
What do you think about the idea of RVANews Radio? I’m all ears…
The set list for this week’s show is posted here. All previous show set lists (58 as of this writing) are on my blog.
Until Next Time:
Stay Clean,
BOPST

I like the idea a lot. WRIR should be doing more of this also.
Here is an idea I am interested in seeing happen but don’t have time or patience to do myself – an (online?) repository of Virginia recorded music – not just the “official releases” of cds and records but also demo tapes, live performances, etc. It could be central to a Virginia Music Hall of Fame that would appeal to EVERYONE.
Agreed. That is a stellar idea and one worthy of becoming a listening reality.
And my eternal knock on Richmond has been this: we only have one of everything. As good and as important as WRIR is, we need more than one community broadcasting outlet. On RVA NEWS, I imagine a handy little link in the green header that says, “RVA News Radio” that streams audio content already available all consolidated into a stream. At first, a couple of hours of programming would play (6 hours or so) updated maybe once or twice a week. If the idea catches on, audio versions of stories and articles here and news updates from the various community blogs (as well as tracks from Richmond bands from yesterday, today & tomorrow) could be added to flesh things out with the eventual goal of having fresh content posted on a daily basis. Going live would require an epic amount of work and commitment, but at this stage of the game, there is already enough recorded material to create a quality listening experience by simply organizing already existing material into a stream. It would be a good place to start anyway.
Back in the day, before the political factors aligned to the point that a LPFM license was possible, Richmond Independent Radio was in the basement of the Camel (back then Fusion community-center-under-construction) doing internet radio experiments.
One of the ideas being batted around back then was trying to see some of the neighborhoods with LPAM (low power AM that would pass under the FCC radar without having to resort to pirate FM) microstations. Picture small but interconnected studios at the Fulton Hill NRC, at Oregon Hill’s SynerGeo, at the Fan’s Camel, etc. Part of that vision was having individual neighborhood internet raio streams (including neighborhood news/civic association meeting/etc.) that could be aggregated into a larger Richmond one.
We also toyed around with doing some micro-tv transmissions (which might now have more revelence with the digital switch-over), but honestly the internet is still the field of play. Which leads to the bigger question of why Richmond still does not have muni-wifi internet (Charlottesville is ahead of us), despite many calls for it by the Richmond Greens and Richmond Free Wireless.

Anyway, I am always happy to see rvanews and RVAmagazine kicking this stuff around. Collectively, we are someday going to drag Richmond into a new century and can hopefully tell the local corporate fascists to fuck off.
Helping the community is all fine and dandy, but all I really want to do is to make Ross Catrow a rich man….
Thanks for mentioning us. KAOS is also availible here in Austin on FM at 95.9. We’ve been a functioning pirate radio station here for almost 7 years with the occasional FM hiatus. Seems it’s more of a community standards thing here in Austin. Nobody really complains about it, and we get praise in local press here. The station can be picked up on FM for about a ten mile radius from the central Austin area, so the station can be heard on campus, downtown, north Austin, and South Austin over the airwaves.

I would also like Ross Catrow to be a rich man.
So Val, what do you think of a possible RVA News Radio? You down?
I love the idea – I think it responds to what people are looking for from their entertainment/news/etc sources.
But it’s a question of manpower at this point. If *certain* people wanted to donate their services, well, that would be a different story.
I listened to The Bopst Show, when I lived in Richmond. Now I listen to it in Austin, and I have a show on the same station.
I wish the entire city of Richmond would just merge with Austin, already. I’m not sure the country’s ready for a city that sweet, though.
