Today’s show welcomes two guests from the LCIP, Labor-Community Independent Party, that recently held a founding conference last week. A second in our series discussing formation of independent parties challenging the Democrats and Republicans in the post-2020 elections cycle. Why a 3rd party now? What’s their strategy and tactics? How do they see the political landscape in the USA as it appears increasingly likely that the Democrats cannot stop Trump from stealing the upcoming election by using the Supreme Court to stop the counting of mail in ballots. Are the Democrats ‘finished’ if they don’t win this November? What kind of 3rd party may successfully challenge them after November 2020? Guests welcomed are Maya Schon, member of the editorial board of the LCIP and Connie White, an LCIP organizer. (For Dr. Rasmus’s take on the latest political events and severe political crisis coming Nov. 3 and after, check out his latest article, “A Most Dire Warning”, at his blog, jackrasmus.com)

The Iowa caucuses are a long-standing political tradition that serve to set the stage for the presidential election every four years. The 2020 Iowa caucus has left most voters thinking one thing in preparation for November: "What the actual f*** is going on?" Everyone loves a good conspiracy... when they're not living in the middle of it. So let's talk about it on Common Criminal Episode 079: Mayor Cheat vs The State of Iowa #IowaCaucus #DNC #MayorCheat #CIAPete #BernieSanders #ElizabethWarren #Election2020 #RichmondVA #RVA #HarrisonburgVA #CharlottesvilleVA #CommonCriminal --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/vincent-polcyn/support
One year from this month, a newly elected president will take office in Washington, DC. The long and intense competition leading to that day begins on 3 February 2020, with the Iowa Caucuses, the first nominating contest in the Democratic Party’s primaries for the 2020 presidential election. The period between those two election calendar events is less than a year but no less momentous, as we are also expecting to see an impeachment trial in the US Senate, more US troops returning to the Middle East, and continued tensions between the United States and China. What are Trump’s chances of re-election? Which Democratic challenger is likely to be Trump’s opponent in November? What impact will renewed tensions in the Middle East have on the election, and what are the implications for Australia? And what will be the trajectory of rivalry between China and the United States in this election year? To hear more on these issues, the USSC hosted the first in a series of public events on the 2020 US presidential election by the US Studies Centre. Panellists: Simon Jackman, CEO and Professor of Political Science; Kim Hoggard, Non-Resident Fellow and former staffer for President Ronald Reagan and President George H.W. Bush; Brendon O’Connor, Associate Professor in American Politics and author of Anti-Americanism and American Exceptionalism; and Ashley Townshend, Director of Foreign Policy and Defence at the United States Studies Centre
News & Ramblings for November - What's new & upcoming in the world of horror - What's haunting you?
In this episode, Claire meets Nicola James, the headteacher of St Andrew’s Primary School in Bishop Auckland. Having recently had an OFSTED inspection under the new framework, Nicola shares her experience with Claire in order to help other schools who may be facing an imminent inspection themselves. After initially wanting to work in a bank (mainly so she could wear a smart suit every day!), Nicola was inspired to teach by her secondary school tutor, Mr Wilson, who told her she needed to be working with people. This inspired Nicola to want to make a difference to the lives of others, so she studied at Northumbria University before getting a teaching job as an NQT. Having worked in schools for over 22 years, Nicola has taken on many roles: these include art lead and SLT, and, after starting St Andrew’s 6 years ago, she became deputy head after 2 terms, acting head (while her headteacher did a secondment) a year and a half later and finally became substantive head at the school a year ago. The experiences she had as a deputy encountering OFSTED and a head encountering OFSTED varied quite significantly, with Nicola calling them, “a totally different experience.” In the podcast, Nicola speaks with Claire about her experience of her recent OFSTED inspection, the format of the days themselves, including the day before and the day after the inspection, as well as the newly-introduced ‘deep dives’. They discuss the new framework and what the inspection looked like for Nicola’s school under it. By discussing her experiences, Nicola explains what schools, headteachers and staff can do to best prepare themselves for what is a stressful time in the lives of any school staff. KEY TAKEAWAYS Find little ways to be as prepared as you can for the inspection. You can anticipate when OFSTED might visit, but (as was the case for Nicola who thought they might come in November but they actually came in October) they may visit earlier or later than expected. Some of the best ways to prepare include: creating an action plan so that everybody knows their role for the day of the phone call and the days of the inspections; compiling a list of questions that OFSTED might ask on their initial phone call (some authorities may already have this) and jotting down answers to them before the inspection; having mock interviews with subject leads, including some of the questions they might ask, and making sure everybody is giving the same key messages about the school and its practices. Use the 90 minute phone call to highlight to the inspector all the strengths and positives about your school, and arm yourself with information about the inspection. The admin team will usually ring some time in the morning (for Nicola, it was 10:30) and this is followed up by a phone call with the lead inspector. After the admin call, you may want to talk to staff and inform them of the upcoming inspection and discuss what messages you are wanting to send to the inspection team about your school. On the phone call with the lead inspector, there is chance to negotiate the subjects for the deep dives, and to inform your staff of this. There is also chance for you to tell your inspector the context of your school and what makes you unique. As in Nicola’s case, it may take more than 90 minutes due to the new framework being in place. It might be useful to take notes during this time so you can feedback to staff. A lot of the guesswork has gone from the new OFSTED framework. A key finding from the podcast is that a lot of the ‘unknown’ about the running of the inspection seems to have been eliminated from the new framework. You can negotiate the subject of deep dives (except reading and maths if you are in a primary) and a timetable is provided for the school of where the inspectors are going to be and at what time during the day. The inspectors also ensure that when a staff member is out of class to talk to one of the inspectors, the other one will not visit that class. This takes away some of the stress that comes from the ‘not knowing’ and expecting every visitor to your room to be the inspectors. The new framework is as new for the inspectors as it is for schools. Even if they have been inspectors for a long time, the new framework is new and will take some getting used to. This might mean that the inspectors are acutely aware of how little time they have to do everything they need to, especially if they are having to check things with HMI in order to ensure that the new procedures are being followed accurately. There are also transition arrangements in place for ‘Good’ schools for their curriculum intent and planning; the OFSTED inspector needs to be sure that the school has the capacity to have things in place in 2 years because the framework is so new. Gone are the days of excessive paper and clipboards. Everything under a new framework inspection is done digitally so there will be no more people coming in with clipboards! The inspectors cross reference their ‘cards’ (for things such as safeguarding) to ensure that they are not repeating questions. There is also less of a focus on data and paper-based evidence. Deep dives can take different forms, but conversations with staff and children remain at the heart. For the reading and maths deep dives, subject leaders were spoken to (as were children), classes were visited and books were looked at. The bottom 20% of Years 1, 2 and 6 read to the inspectors, although this may look different in your school. In reading, the inspectors wanted to check that reading books matched abilities and that the phonics scheme was secure; in maths, the inspectors wanted to know what the school were currently doing and what the plans for the future were. If a deep dive is happening in a subject that isn’t being taught, the inspectors will probably choose to scrutinise the books in more detail, as well as talking to the subject lead and the children. Consistency is key. The inspectors in Nicola’s school were adamant that they should not alter from their usual working week. This meant that even though the deep dive was in history, no history lessons were being taught, but this was ok. When the fire alarm went off, the inspectors reassured the staff to just ‘do what you normally do’. The consistency will enable the staff, and children, to feel more secure in what they are doing. Feedback from the inspectors doesn’t look exactly the same as in the previous framework. If you are having a 2-day inspection, the deputy and head will probably be asked to sit in on a meeting at the end of the first day, where the inspectors feed back to each other. You are not allowed to interject during this but can make notes to feedback to staff and can challenge anything that they have said at the end. The inspectors will feed back to the SLT and governors at the end of the inspection as usual and then this can be disseminated to staff once the inspector has left. Give as much time as possible to your middle leaders. Under the new framework, the scrutiny lies more with the middle leaders than with the headteacher so it’s important that middle leaders are given the time to fully understand their subject and how it looks across school. They need to be able to understand what is happening across school and where the subject is going, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the subject. Giving staff time to understand this, allowing them to get into classes and liaise with other class teachers, as well as allocating staff meeting time to it and holding mock interviews, will increase confidence levels when it comes to answering whatever question might be asked of them during an inspection. Expect the unexpected! No matter how prepared you think you are for an inspection, there will always be something that crops up. Whether this be a 2-day inspection when you were expecting a 1-day inspection, the cooks setting off the fire alarm or a hamster in a lunchbox; the more you can pull together as a team, the easier it will be to deal with the unforeseen challenges! BEST MOMENTS “Obviously you talk to other headteachers of their experiences but none of my headteacher colleagues had had the experience of this framework so I felt really vulnerable and I felt a bit like a guinea pig so it was kind of going into the unknown.” “Tuesday morning, 10:30, my secretary comes in, knocks on the door: “I’ve got OFSTED on the phone,” and you can feel your face drain. If I’d been standing up, I think my knees would have gone. You process that information…really, it’s as if you’ve been smacked in the face.” “We said to staff, ‘Let’s get together at lunchtime,’ and we just got it all out of our system, anything that we were worried about and what we needed to do. Fortunately, we already had a plan in the staffroom, for if we get the call…down to who’s ordering the pizza, who’s going round the displays putting the things that are hanging off on, so we had it military style…Everybody had a purpose.” “During that time [the phone call with the lead inspector], the deputy head’s writing down everything I’m saying so that we then had another meeting with staff…[we said] ‘This is the messages we’ve been sending to the OFSTED inspector; this is what he’s expecting to see and hear,’ just so they had the same message, because that was important. That’s what he was coming back to find out: if what I was saying is true.” “We had a Section 8…We were expecting a Section 5 but because our 2018 data wasn’t so good, they risk assessed us on that, which meant we got a 2-day. We had 2 inspectors on the first day and 1 inspector on the second…That threw us a bit, because we thought we were already Good so are they coming to make us Requires Improvement, based on that data? Our 2019 data was strong and we were worried that they weren’t going to take that into consideration…we thought we were going to have to fight for Good, but there was no fight. Everything they saw they were happy with.” “During that day [the first day], as headteacher, I was twiddling my thumbs; I didn’t know what to do with myself…I felt really useless to be honest…It was a strange feeling.” “We did flowers, chocolate biscuits, tea, coffee, juice… it was like a hotel room for them… I don’t know if the flowers helped, but it made us feel better.” “He came and gave the deputy and I our feedback and told us what our rating was going to be… he gave feedback to governors, which was very similar to what he’d given us, and then he went, and he was gone by half 4. The staff all filtered in and we repeated it again to them and had a big sigh of relief and it was all over!” “It’s important to say that the timetable isn’t set in stone because every school is different, every school has a different amount of staff. He absolutely didn’t want us to change anything from the norm. We agreed that he would look at history, but because we block our subjects, there wasn’t going to be any history taught that week, but we said we would put some history lessons on…he said, ‘Absolutely not. Do not change your timetable; it’s not fair on the children; it wouldn’t be part of their progression of skills, so don’t change anything.’” “The staff were amazing - they were amazing. I fill up about it still because they were just… they just smashed it. I couldn’t be happier. They just all took on their roles, they didn’t flap, they just got on with it… They got on with their jobs; they knew what they had to do; they knew what the message was that we had to get across; they were so passionate and some of the feedback that was given was how infectious their enthusiasm was and that sums up who we are.” “Last year, I was beginning to feel the anxiety towards it [the inspection]. I know, if I’m being honest, hand on heart, that it affected my health, because I felt that pressure, coming down, and I can’t tell you the difference, now they’ve been… It’s unbelievable, the pressure. When you’re going through it, you don’t notice it – or you try to deny it, really – but when it’s gone, you realise how heavy it was.” “Just the week before they came…I’d had a conversation with staff, kind of thanking them, because I know they were working ridiculously hard because we were thinking they’re coming November, let’s put everything in this term, but I’d said to them, ‘We can’t maintain this. We can’t go on this hard, and working these hours: what if they don’t come November? What if it’s another term? We’re going to kill ourselves. We have to stop. We can’t do this.’” “[Our OFSTED inspectors] were human. They were lovely, approachable people. I don’t know if we were lucky, because I have heard some stories, and there’s certain ones where you think, ‘I hope we don’t get them!’ but we got two really approachable, human inspectors.” “For me, and for our school, I can’t say with anything different but positive. I was blown away by how positive it was. I wasn’t expecting to feel like that… It was a partnership, we worked together, and we hadn’t been ‘done to’; it wasn’t a negative experience.” “I fed them [the staff] and made sure they were ok. I made sure they weren’t here until a ridiculous time; sent them home to their families. Asked them if they needed some time… but I didn’t feel like I needed to hold their hand. They were ready.” “It’s about feeling prepared, and feeling confident, that if you get asked that question, you’re going to have an answer for it.” “Have those notes for that phone call… Calm yourself down, and it’s all on the screen. I would say take some time, you and your deputy, to sit down… having that aide memoire will save you… I just kept going back to it. I was so pleased I did it. It was a lifesaver.” “That plan that I had for OFSTED…have that ready… have that up…it becomes wallpaper but my God everybody knows where it is on the day, and they go to it, and it just ran like clockwork.” “I did a really long assembly in the morning so staff could go and have biscuits and tea and just relax, and I asked the deputy head to speak to staff and let them know that I was going to give them a day off during the year, which they gratefully received so they can choose a day, during this year to take, when it suits them.” “I would like to give my staff more time to do the things that they need to do, so I would need some more money, to employ another member of staff to take their children… That would be the answer to all of our problems.” “I just would like schools to be that place that I remember as a child: a fun, happy place to be but for everyone. Not just the children, but for the staff as well. I just think if you’re enjoying teaching, the children will enjoy learning.” “It really is a time to celebrate your school, and there’s so many opportunities to do that.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Nicola James: http://www.st-andrews-pri.durham.sch.uk/ (School Website) https://www.facebook.com/groups/866792993453061/ (Facebook leaders website) OFSTED Transition Arrangements: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/830378/School_Inspection_Report_Sept2019.pdf The Teachers’ Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTeachersPodcast/ Classroom Secrets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ Classroom Secrets website: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/ LIFE/work balance campaign: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/lifeworkbalance-and-wellbeing-in-education-campaign-2019/ ABOUT THE HOST Claire Riley Claire, alongside her husband Ed, is one of the directors of Classroom Secrets, a company she founded in 2013 and which provides outstanding differentiated resources for teachers, schools, parents and tutors worldwide.

In this episode, we discuss last week’s Democratic Debates. Who did well? Who has work to do? What are the tiers, and how many of these candidates could actually win the Democratic nomination? The Democratic Debates: Who “Won”? We’re starting to see some polling numbers that reflect what Democratic voters thought of the debates, and it seems clear that among the more top tier candidates, both Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris did well, while Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders failed to improve their numbers. If true, this certainly changes the dynamic of the race, with Biden and Sanders no longer a clear top two, resulting in a more wide open field. Still, before we get into the substance of the debates, let’s discuss just how wide open the field is. How many of these candidates could actually win the Democratic nomination? Ok, so if it’s clear that Warren and Harris did well, why do you think that is? What stood out about their performances? Who else caught your eye in these first debates? In the HuffPost/YouGov poll, Julian Castro, Cory Booker and Pete Buttigieg also did well. Did we see anything from either of those three that suggests an ability to make a leap as a more serious contender? FiveThirtyEight had an interesting breakdown of the debate in five charts. Is There Any Real Daylight Between The Candidates on Policy? Obviously, there were a ton of issues covered over the two nights…What stood out to you? Vox has a good breakdown from the left of who won/lost on policy. Most of the partisan Republicans watching will likely view the real winner of the debates as President Trump, arguing that the policy conversation was far to the left of the average American voter, and that Vice President Biden’s chances of securing the nomination took a hit after performance. Is there truth to that? How much did Vice President Biden really hurt his chances of winning the nomination? Did these debates change your perception of which candidates could defeat President Trump next November? What’s Next? The next debates, which will again feature two nights of ten candidates each, will take place in Detroit on July 30 and 31. For those debates, the qualification thresholds remain the same: Candidates must register at least 1% support in three DNC-approved polls or receive donations from 65,000 people including a minimum of 200 in at least 20 states. One candidate who did not qualify for the first round of debates has already qualified for the second round: Montana Governor Steve Bullock. However, because the DNC has capped the number of candidates on stage at 20, a series of tiebreakers will be used to determine who gets left off the stage. The bar to qualify gets significantly higher for the September debates, with at least 2% support needed in three DNC-approved polls, and 130,000 individual donors. That means that currently the only locks for the fall debates are Biden, Harris, Warren, Sanders, and Buttigieg, leaving candidates like Booker and O’Rourke on the bubble. Looking Ahead to the 2020 Calendar The Iowa Caucuses will take place on Monday, February 3rd, followed by the New Hampshire Primary on Tuesday the 11th. Harry Enten at CNN highlights the importance of Iowa and New Hampshire: No one has won a major party nomination since 1972 without coming in the top two in either Iowa or New Hampshire. And a strong showing in both states can turn a wide-open race into a blowout (see: John Kerry in 2004). The Nevada Caucuses take place on Saturday February 22nd, and the South Carolina Primary on Saturday the 29th. Super Tuesday, when Colorado will vote along with a significant portion of the country – including California and Texas – is Tuesday, March 3rd.

18 November - What is the source of Revival - Rev Jon Hills by WWSBC
*audio echo resolves at 0:44* The South Carolina Midterm Elections are just over two weeks away. What do voters care about this November? What issues will decide the Governor's race? Will the state ethics and corruption probe have any influence? Could a Blue Wave turn this state politically purple? This and more with guests Meg Kinnard, a reporter at the Associated Press, and Charles Bierbauer, the former Mass Communications Dean from USC.
The Essential Items For Your Podcast Website Let me state, that this has nothing to do with Wordpress vs Wix vs Squarespace. These are the items that I feel should be on your website (and why) A Play Button Think of this as a free sample. If someone is going to subscribe to your show, they need to hear it first. This is why there is a guy with the chicken on a toothpick at the mall. It is the teaser, the free sample of your podcast with no commitment to buy. A Contact Button/Page I'm not making this up. I just read an article in Pod to Pod, and I read a story about a podcaster that might have a good "Because of My Podcast" story. There wasn't any contact button at the top, bottom, left, or right side of the screen. It wasn't on the about page, it wasn't there. The only way to contact the person was via twitter. Being somewhat of a geek, I pulled up his RSS feed and dug through the code to find it. Realize, nobody is going to dig through your RSS feed to get your email address. Make your contact button easy to find, and don't get cute and name it something like "Let's get coffee." Be sure to test your button/page to make sure you get the messages from your website. Your About Page There are two answers here. If your website is primarily the home of your podcast then the first paragraph should be about the show. If your website is the home of your brand (products, press, etc) then the first paragraph should be about the host. Then a second paragraph about the show. In my travels, the about page is one of the pages that receive the most traffic. If you've been podcasting for a bit and have some reviews, take some of the phrases used by your audience and use it in your about page (use the native tongue of your audience). Subscribe Buttons We all love to talk about iTunes/Apple Podcasts, as we should. They have a huge amount of the market. There are android phones as well and it's a bit of a chicken or the egg. More podcasts are consumed on Apple products than Android. Well, most podcasters talk about subscribing on Apple products (and leave the android people out to dry). If Google would get off their butt and make a native app for podcast listeners that would be great (they did just purchase the 60 db app). So make sure people can subscribe to your show. You REALLY want to avoid telling people to "Find me in iTunes." Extra Credit Don't just make a subscribe page, but add directions with screenshots. You could even do a quick presentation on YouTube Live on how to subscribe to your show, and then send people to the video on YouTube. There is more power in subscriptions than reviews.

Check out Scott's podcast for Firemen at code3podcast.com Not sure what is up with Scott's voice? Check out the first 30 seconds of his show at code3podcast.com Always Be Open For New Input I've heard reports from one person or another. Anything on the internet that is repeated enough becomes an undeniable fact. With this in mind, I always stay open to new feedback. I always consider the source and always allow new ideas to challenge my beliefs. If I'm going to believe something, it is typically based on things I believe to be facts. Beliefs are based on input and your ideas and feelings (your feelings can skew the input). Actions are based on beliefs. Beliefs are based on perceived facts. Facts are based on input into your brain. For example, I don't like coconut. Any candy bar with coconut, I'm not a fan. The one day someone handed me a drink. I wasn't sure what it was, it was supposed to some drink better than soda. It was white. It turned out it was some sort of vanilla coconut mix. I have input. I now can say, I don't like something that is predominantly coconut, but I don't mind it mixed with vanilla. You have to be open to someone challenging a belief (I don't like coconut) and taking a look at the other side of the story (having a sip). Then allowing that information to influence your beliefs, which then influence your actions. I co-host a show called the "Podcast Review Show" where you can get your show reviewed, and in the past we've had people who were NOT open to ANY feedback New and Noteworthy Insights I've been begging people to share their before and after numbers if they got into New and Noteworthy and that is just what Matthew McClain did on this post about downloads from Apple He states before being on the Front Page of New and Noteworthy, "In this period we had an average of 71 downloads per day." This is with two episodes (36 downloads per episode - DPE) On their first day, the traffic went, "from 26 total downloads the day before (our lowest day ever) to 241." (122 DPE) He does say, "We released episode two on the 8th which pretty much doubled the recent total downloads to 1,447" (so he now had three episodes counting his trailer) (482DPE) One day they reached 1,928 downloads for the day (1928/3 = 642 DPE) He states, " At the time of writing, episode one has 6,978 downloads, episode two 6,161, and episode three 2,295. So 37% of listeners followed the podcast from episode two to episode three. According to VP of Podcast Relations Rob Walch when it comes to iTunes/Apple Podcasts rankings, "“100% about the total number of new subscribers in the past 7 days, with a weighted average for the last 24, 48, and 72 hours” Things to Consider This was on the FRONT PAGE of iTunes/Apple Podcasts New and Noteworthy (not a category) Their genre may fit a wider audience than yours. If you don't make New and Noteworthy, your life is not over. iTunes/Apple Podcasts is a directory, a phone book if you will. It is a central location where people can put in the full name of your show and do a search. Plays From Your Website Add Up Ravi Jayagopal (the man behind Digital Access Pass, and the Cool Cast Player along with being the host of the Subscribe Me show sent a link to a post. Last week I mentioned how there are a ton of players out there, but the majority of downloads come via mobile devices. In his post, he pointed out that: A player on a website is more suitable for "introducing" someone to your podcast - not necessarily for long-term consumption. Introduce on your site, lead them to subscribe on a mobile app on your actual show. Promote your website to cold and luke-warm traffic, like ad traffic and social-spraying content marketing, so you can cookie/pixel them for later retargeting, promote your brand, show them your face, maybe connect with them with a personable video, offer them your lead-magnet and get them to maybe give your their email id, etc etc. But once they're on your list, promote Apple Podcast and Stitcher and Google Play links to those already on your "list", because they don't need to be "convinced" or "converted" anymore about the value that you provide. Here is a link to the Facebook Post. He shows how he is getting thousands of new plays on different websites. Launching Your Podcast With a Massive Amounts of Downloads Most good ideas are not a single thought. A single idea comes up, and someone says, "You know what else, you might try this..." I always want people to know that: When you launch with more than one episode, the additional episodes do not download automatically. New and Noteworthy will not deliver you 10,0000 downloads per episode (if that is the goal) While you should focus on generating buzz when you launch, a podcast is a marathon and not a sprint. Some Reasons Why You Might Not Want to Launch with a Ton (25) New Episodes If you record 25 episodes and find out at episode two that people hate your super jumbo deluxe lightning round, they have to sit through 23 episodes (unless you go back and edit them) until you put out a "new" episode with the changes. You might pre-fade. What I mean by this is you never make it to episode 25 because you aren't seeing the downloads, getting any feedback, and so you quit before you ever launch. People will need to go and download your earlier episodes. By default, they will download your latest episode, and then manually download 1-24. Some Reasons Why Might Want to Launch with 25 You maybe have found your voice by episode 25, and with episode 26 you sound more confident, organized and professional. Maybe it's not such a bad idea. If you can't come up with 25 episodes, maybe you shouldn't be podcasting? A Compromise on Launching Your Podcast with 25 Episodes Instead of putting all your 25 episodes out at the same time, release your episodes (one at a time) to your website, and to your feed. However, don't submit your show to any directories like iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, Google Play music just yet. You can tell your friends if you want, but any traffic will come from people searching for your content via search engines. You might also use Facebook to assemble a "Focus Group" and ask people for feed. This way you can get feedback as you are creating it. When you get to a certain number where you feel confident your show will have a positive impact on your target audience, submit it to the directories, sound out an email blast, tell your friends, family, and neighbors, and do your "launch."
