Okay, so, unbeknownst to our fan base, one week ago, Tapan received a Facebook message from a friend of his (big ups Alyssa) whose dad read this blog and wanted to talk to us. Alright, that's cool. We didn't know what it was about, but what the hell, let's talk to the guy.
So he emails us, and as it turns out, he works at Binghamton University, and he'd like to speak to us about an "opportunity."
Basically what the guy, Mr. Christopher Sherman (probably esquire), told us was that he liked our writing style and wanted to see if it would translate to radio.
This is where you fine folks come in. He's asked us to visit the campus for an interview this summer. Essentially, the meeting would just be to do a couple of radio test spots and introduce us to the WHRW-FM 90.5 crew. Based on that, he would decide whether or not to extend an offer.
The general idea of the show would be in the likeness of PTI. We mention this because Tony Kornheiser is of Binghamton University fame, and Mr. Sherman is a huge fan of their program. We were told that sports would not be our main focus, but instead we'd be riffing about news topics, and occasionally invite guests to the program.
So to you, the loyal readers of The Chicago Sometimes, we ask this. Do you think we should consider the interview/job opportunity? It would require transfers on both our parts, but it could open a few doors. Maybe Wilbon would drop by. Wilbon!

If anyone feels like helping us out with the decision, here are a couple of links to the school's general website and the station's: http://www2.binghamton.edu/, http://www.whrwfm.org/
We'll be mulling this over for a couple weeks, so in the meantime, let us know why we would or would not be successful as radio talk show hosts (i.e., whether or not we should be taking this seriously).
Go Bearcats!

First and foremost, wow. How do you get listeners to two guys arguing passionately about a legitimate topic until it devolves into a reference to random tv shows. Anyway, radio is a fantastic medium for these kind of ludicrous soapbox monologues. The most important thing though is that you turn this into a ridiculous hollywood career and die in a mountain of cocaine as high as your mansion's ceilings.
