Last night, Drifter Radio went live as a watch-party for Super Bowl 56. Over 20-people showed up from around North America to listen and watch the podcast. This was the first Drifter Radio live internet broadcast in over a decade. 8-hours 22-minutes was streamed through YouTube for Super Bowl Sunday Funday.
Drifter Radio watched the Los Angeles Rams defeat the Cincinnati Bengals: 23-20
It was a good “social-distance party” with friends.
Overall, Drifter Radio’s live show went well.
It was fun to yap into a microphone again.
Hopefully, my halftime performance on flute and aluminum mixing bowl was lost to the ethra. The half time musical performance was a request on the live-stream message board.
People tuned in from Hawaii, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Oregon, Alaska, Saudi Arabia, and few other places. The live-stream message board was a hit. The podcast was fun.
Today, I spent post-Super Bowl Day reviewing what was learned. How can I adjust Drifter Radio programming from this initial podcast?
Research the inter-webs. Call supporters. Brainstorm.
A few ideas surfaced from yesterdays go-live experiment:
More tech is needed.
Add guests.
Commentate on the message board.
Create a calendar of events for 2022.
Create multiple streams of income.
Write a media/art business plan in book form.
Thanks to everyone for tuning in Sunday!
I think DrifterRadio needs to host a few more live watch-parties in 2022.
