    I’m gonna let this comment slide (but I’ve removed the link), but please keep your comments to the posts at hand. This includes NOT linking to your personal blog.  I did leave the link for your name.

    Awesome show once again Phil. However, as it seems a little desperate, you might want to be aware that you are saying “Please keep listening, and keep calling…” after EVERY phone call.

    It’s a crutch - I used to do the same thing on my first college radio show. However, people are going to call in (or NOT call in) regardless if you say that or not, so just be aware. Just close out the call with a casual “Thanks for calling in” and wrap it up.

    /end advice from someone who feels like a radio veteran at this point… (Well, I guess I have spent 4+ years on air…)
