Yesterday I promised something HUGE, and here it is:

mikeschramm.com has a podcast.

Today I am totally proud to introduce “Happy Time,” a podcast from the people who bring you mikeschramm.com.

Actually, that’s me, and my friend Luke Lindberg. For a long time, we’ve had very interesting conversations, and since I started out in radio, we always thought it would be fun to have a radio show. But nobody on radio would actually give us airtime, of course. And so earlier this year, we decided to try and put together a podcast. After a few weeks of debate about a name, a theme song, and what color the site should be (you know, the important stuff), we have cobbled together a system that will let us broadcast– err, podcast a half hour show every week.

So click on over to mikeschramm.com/happytime, and check it out. This week’s show is our first, so we’re still messing with the technical side of it (and the writing side– I don’t think I’ll ever be doing any more impressions again), but we still think it’s a good time, and there’s lots more where it came from. If you like the show, or hate the show, or have ideas for the show, we’ve set up happytimepodcast@gmail.com to get all of your input.

And even if you don’t have any ideas, don’t worry, because we have plenty. Next week on the show, we’ll have our very first contest ever, so we’ll get a little audience participation going. We’re planning to have guest stars and interviews. I’d like to put my radio production skills back to work and get a little drama in the mix. And above all, we’ll try to make it at least a little funny. I’m not guaranteeing, you know, Green Acres levels of hilarity, but we’ll do what we can.

So enjoy. And, even though I just realized I completely forgot to say it on the show this week, be happy.
