(Fair warning in advance, in case it isn't painfully clear: The following is completely independent of the Palmetto Regional, and is being run by WUSC-FM.)
As many of y'all know, I do a radio show on WUSC. Traditionally, it's from Saturdays, 8-10 PM.
However, for Palmetto I'd like to shake things up and do a special edition of my show, The WUSC Challenge, to help promote the regional. This is where y'all come in.
Essentially, you and another contestant would show up around 7:45 to the Russell House (USC's student union, about two or three blocks from the Colonial Center), with the show starting at eight. During the show, you'd be selecting half an hour of music from our station's library in about half an hour. (We have all sorts of music in there--rock, ska, reggae, jazz, blues, americana, electronica, hip-hop, and world music--just
no music that's been top 40.) Both sets get played, and Columbia calls in and votes on which contestant has the better taste in music. The show ends at 10:00 PM, at which point you're free to go.
I'm afraid I can't offer any prizes or anything, being a stereotypical broke college student. But I guarantee it'll be fun--I'm yet to have a contestant who didn't enjoy it.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
(PS: If you need a chaperone to come along, it's fine. They can even be the other contestant, if you ask fast enough. Just don't bring the entire team, as there's not enough room!)
