I talked to the radio station yesterday and we are good to go until the end of July 2022. Between now and then I will go about raising funds to keep Memphis Weirdos on shortwave. Last year, 40+ supporters took Memphis Weirdos from an obscure 30 minute weekly broadcast to an hour long an hour broadcast.
It is still obscure, because Memphis Weirdos is a shortwave radio program.
If I don’t hit the goal, Memphis Weirdos doesn’t broadcast anymore.
This year, I want to expand another 30 minutes. I recently started playing harder music from Memphis, metal, hardcore, etc.. The 30 minutes for that show were given to me from the station to use as I wish, and the Memphis metal scene is robust with talent, so I want to secure the time.
I was able to fund last year through a Kickstarter campaign, so I am going to do that again. Like last year, there will be various means to support Supporters will be rewarded with Memphis Weirdos merchandise. If funded, I am going to have the shirts printed, better shirts and better graphics. I love the look of the original Memphis Weirdos t-shirt and that I screen printed them in my dinning room, but I don’t want to do that again. I am also looking for a few other items to reward with. I will have it all listed when I go live, which should be in about a week. That’s all. I would love to see Memphis Weirdos maintain its shortwave presence and with your help, it will.
