So, you want to be on The Roundtable?We always love to get ideas from listeners and organizations in our area. Here are some tips for getting your idea/event/organization/book/essay on the show:1. We work many weeks in advance. If you'd like to be considered for a segment please give us at least three to four weeks notice. Please email us a press release to - roundtable@wamc.org - and write a quick note at the top about why you think your organization should get a spot on the show. 2. If you have an event you'd like us to feature in our Roundtable Roulette community calendar, please send a press release to our Senior Producer, Andy Clegg at aclegg@wamc.org. We can't mention everyone's event, but we do our best to let everyone know about the great stuff that's happening in our area. You are encouraged to to post it on our online events calendar. 3. If you have an essay you'd like to air, just send it to Associate Producer, Sarah LaDuke. If your essay is selected, you'll be asked to come to our Albany studios to record. We especially like essays about seasonal or newsy topics (holidays, weather, events, etc.). We always choose personal essays over political opinion pieces. If you have written a political commentary, please submit it to our Managing Editor for News, Katie Britton. 4. If you
work for a publishing company and would like Julia or Joe to take a
look at a new book, please send (just one) copy to this address: WAMC Northeast Public Radio5. If you're a musician part of a musical group, or involved in a theatre production that wants to be on the show, the best place to help publicize your upcoming concert or new album is Performance Place. This half-hour live music segment takes place live at The Linda, our Performing Arts Studio and features classical, jazz, modern, theatrical, and rock music. If you'd like to be considered, please send Producers Andy Clegg and Sarah LaDuke a recording (it doesn't have to be a professionally produced CD, just a few cuts to give us a sense of your work). Please be sure to enclose your contact information and we'll be in touch. * We do answer everyone's email and phone calls, but we have to admit, email is much easier for us. So if you have a question about a recent show, just drop us a line at roundtable@wamc.org. * If you've done all of the above, but haven't heard back yet, feel free to send a follow up email, or try calling again. Thank you for your submissions! |
