I have now been doing radio shows on MSP Waves for 9 months. The steem blockchain has been through a heck of a lot in that time.

Since I started a whole bunch of steem related radio shows and radio stations have come and gone. Steem radio has survived but I cannot say it has thrived.

I thought therefore it might be a useful exercise to take a rain check on steem based radio shows - what works well, what doesn't, how can we make it grow...?

So I've invited a big bunch of radio show hosts from MSP Waves and beyond to chew the fat, kick some ideas around and see what pops out.

It is going to be a bit free form and hopefully going to be a bit of fun.

It will also be great to hear from listeners - what works for you and what doesn't.

What we will be talking about

The show will be quite free form but these are some of the topics and questions I hope we can cover...

• Is broadcast radio still a suitable format for the steem blockchain?

• Will new live streaming technologies change how we output radio shows?

• What technologies should we be using for shows now? And in a year's time?

• What sort of content works best for steem based radio shows?

• How can a host/show add value to MSP and the wider Steem user base?

• Is using licensed music still viable?

• Should show guests be rewarded for being on shows?

• How should radio shows and radio stations be funded?

• Do we need to start taking advertising?

• Will SMTs be the answer for funding radio stations?

For sure there will be more guests and more questions added by Thursday.

It should be a pretty lively show.

Just to throw one little spice ball in there @globocop will be doing a reveal during the show of something new coming to MSP.

And if all goes well I might be giving out some Whalecoins and Airplay tokens to members of the audience actively engaged with the show.

Thank you to @freedomexists and @seveaux for donating these tokens.
