Help Needed For Cleveland Talk Show (college, stations, radio)

[chrisohio42]

Hello,

My name is Chris and I recently moved back to Cleveland. I worked as a broadcaster for a couple of radio stations after graduating college, and I have recently started an Internet entertainment talk show serving Greater Cleveland.

The idea of the talk show is to do something different from what radio is doing. Basically I'm trying to provide a radio alternative the way Scene Magazine is the newspaper alternative. The show is comedy based, and focused on interesting local guests and musicians/artists/authors. It's very similar to a late night talk show, however I do like to dig into topics of a serious nature. With that in mind I am looking for anyone and everyone that can help me find some local guests.

Specifically I am looking for local people to be interviewed for, but not limited to, the following topics:

Local authors, artists and musicians
Local charities and other non-profits
Local businesses working to change the landscape of Cleveland
Local comedians
Local psychologists
Professors conducting research in Cleveland
Cleveland unknowns (i.e. people in Cleveland doing interesting things that aren't being covered by the mainstream media)

I am also interested in hearing from people who might have other ideas for guests/topics that they would want to hear on this type of show.

If anyone has any websites or suggestions on the topics or anything else, feel free to DM me or post them here.

Thanks!

Sounds pretty cool. How afar along are you? Do you have a venue for the show?

Square,

I have a website but don't want to appear to be advertising so that's why I'm not posting a link. The show is still very young, only a few months old. The music has been the best part so far. There's really great music out there folks!

FYI thanks to those of you who sent DMs with suggestions.

Well, shoot me a DM with the link. I don't think it would be too difficult to hunt down some local authors/artists/etc.
