We have a heavy schedule of programming in the next two weeks, starting with a special Sunday night show. The esteemed co-editor of NA Confidential, bluegill, aka Jeff Gillenwater, will join us as our special guest, to discuss the Ohio River Bridges project.
For the remaining schedule, please visit the show profile to see what's on tap.
We're lining up guest callers for Sunday night and we invite your questions. The show kicks off at 8 p.m.

In the vault
Click to listen and learn!We have a few shows under our belt now. It's all public affairs programming so far, and it's all live. Thanks to all of you for making our launch a great success.
Like you, I'm always suspicious of people offering me "toolbars." Why would I hand a piece of my browser window to someone else?
But the community toolbar we're offering here might just be your ticket to the connections you need. Here's the current news ticker : "DNA Sells White House Center; Mayor Says City Will Throw End-of Summer Concert; Carroll to Stay On With City; Cassidy Challenges CM Price Over Slanders, Price Claims Entitlement to His "Opinion," Though He May Be Wrong; Council Disses Constitution; County Exploring New Income Tax; Heard on New Albany Now."
If you've listened to our most recent shows, you knew that. If you missed them, you can still listen to them in our archives.
The toolbar also includes a direct link to New Albany Now, always available anytime your browser is open. We don't even begin to try to change your home page (although we have a few suggestions). But, for example, if you want to know if NA Confidential, NA Girl, Shadow5, or the Highwaymen have a new blog post, the toolbar alerts you. It also gives you a dedicated pull-down menu to access this blog and others. The Tribune has its own feed, although they seem to be neglecting it. And we have your local weather available at a glance.
What I'm using most on this new community toolbar is a subtle reminder of which of my several e-mails have unread content. I don't have to open my e-mail program - I just glance up at the toolbar to see if there is anything new. There's even a subtle tone that sounds when a new one arrives. Of course, you would insert your e-mail accounts.
And every search (Google) puts a fraction of a penny toward keeping New Albany Now alive and growing. Download it. If you don't find it keeps you in touch with the New Albany communities, tell us what you'd like it to include. Or remove it if it doesn't deliver on its promise.
Our next scheduled and confirmed show is July 22 at 6 p.m. But I'm certain we'll be on the air before then, so check back with us. You can always check our schedule (and listen to the latest or on-the-air show) at our blogtalkradio hosting site.

Help Make the Show Go
You can check out our schedule any time at New Albany Now.
Two shows are already scheduled early in the next week. First up is our recap (post-game?) coverage of the New Albany City Council actions on Monday night, July 7. We go live at 9 p.m in our first remote broadcast. Ron Campbell will be serving as your host-engineer, handling the switchboard, while I'll be broadcasting live from Studio's Restaurant and Pub, the new gathering place in the Bader building, 207 E. Main St. That's the former site of Connor's Place. There's a lot to discuss. The council will hold a hearing earlier in the evening to solicit public comment on the idea of banning smoking in New Albany workplaces. I'd expect a few callers on that topic. And the official action of the city's legislative body is always fuel for lively discussions.
The next evening, July 8, at 6 p.m., we'll have the Hon. Douglas B. England on for the scheduled hour. The mayor has been in office for six months now, and I know you have lots of questions for him. We'll take callers for as long as the mayor can stay with us and continue the discussion until you're all talked out.
Welcome to New Albany Now. Where else are you going to find a broadcast whose reason for being is to give New Albanians a way to communicate their views?
You know, this country has suffered over the past 25 years from unfettered media consolidation. Within our lifetimes you could find at least one local radio station focused on your city. But no more. Well, New Albany Now is here to tell you, local radio is back - oriented to local needs, local issues, and local interests.
We’ll also be talking about books on occasion, with local, national, and international figures from the publishing world – authors, editors, publishers, and publicists. We’ll be talking about the media, local, regional, and national. And we’ll be talking politics, too, especially in this pivotal election year.
Here’s how its going to work, though. We’ll do shows that you want to hear, that you want to contribute to with your calls and letters.
We created New Albany Now on http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ because we believe New Albany needs it.
Listen to us live, or listen any time from our archives. From your computer, just click to talk; the call is free via our VoIP phone lines. And when you can’t be at your computer, call us live at (347) 539-5928.
We’ll take your calls in sequence, so go ahead and call in and we’ll bring you on when we can.
When you’re at your computer listening to the live broadcast, we invite you to take advantage of our live chat tools. That’s just one more way you can contribute to New Albany Now AND it lets you continue the conversation with other listeners off the air.
Also, we invite you to e-mail us at newalbanynow@gmail.com, either during the show or at any time afterward. If you hear something on the show that you’d like to respond to, go ahead. We might just supplement the show archive by using your comment on the show blog at http://newalbanynow.blogspot.com/. Please understand that unless you specifically ask us to keep your comments anonymous, we’ll attribute it to you.
Finally, we're pouring a lot of resources into this venture, so when you hear our sponsors mentioned on the air, please consider giving them your patronage. And please tell them you heard their spot on New Albany Now.
