Radio Sweeps for Fans

by Marc Gunn

Kristen and I are not alone in wanting to hear your thoughts on the Renaissance Festival Podcast. Your kind words give us light and make our "jobs" worthwhile. If you enjoy the podcast, please give us a call and let us know what you think. Here's the number: 512.879.NEWT

What kind of message should you leave?

It may not always happen, but we try to keep the podcast to about thirty minutes. For that reason, short messages are best. And of course, originality is always preferred.

You can make the message shine by answering one of these questions:

• Who did you like in the last podcast?
• What faire did you attend last?
• What faire are you about to attend?
• Who is your favorite Renaissance festival performer?
• How did you find this podcast?
• How did you get started going to Renaissance festivals?
• What was your first Renaissance festival?
• What got you hooked on faires?
• How do you pass your time in between faires?
• What is your favorite faire memory?
• What is your favorite faire vendor?
• What is your favorite street character that you've met?

Those questions should get your brain juices flowing. If you want to pick the phone and call (512) 879-NEWT, you can do that now.

Or if you want to keep from sputtering, like I always do. Write it down and then make a phone call. For example:

"This is YOUR NAME from YOUR HOME FAIRE. The Renaissance Festival Podcast helps me survive in between faires."

"This is YOUR NAME from YOUR HOME FAIRE. I enjoy your podcasts so much that it is now all that I listen to at work."

Well, that's about all there is to it. So give us a call and let us share your message with other Ren faire fans!

Call 512.879.NEWT (She turned me into a Newt! ... I got better.) That's 512.879.6398.
