Two years ago, we started what’s become a yearly tradition for us called Blogsday: http://www.radioopensource.org/blogsday-2007/

Based loosely on Bloomsday, which celebrates James Joyce’s “Ulysses” as an evocation of the world in a single day (in Joyce’s case, June 16, 1904), the idea is to create a mosaic portrait by reading excerpts of blog posts written all over the world on the same day, for one night, for one hour, on live radio. This year, we chose this past Tuesday – June 5 – to collect posts from, and the show will air Thursday night from 7-8pm EST.

I’m writing because we were intrigued by this post, and it’s on the shortlist to be included among our Blogsday best of the June 5th Blogosphere collection. (We also wrote to Bev Clark about one of her posts.)

On Thursday night, we’ll bring in two accomplished and agile actors to read excerpts from our collection of posts on the air. I can’t guarantee that your post will make it onto the show at this point (we’re still knee-deep in our favorites), but you’re a finalist.

We can’t pay anything – this is public radio after all – but we can guarantee a respectful treatment, a national radio audience, and a link on our blog.

Let me know if you have any questions. I’ll try to send another email if I can confirm that your post will definitely be on the show beforehand, but if things get too crazy we may just let you know after the fact.

Best,
Sam G.R. (sam radioopensource org)
