HELP! I've gotta come up with a radio show!

if it starts going no where go take a break and put on in-a-gadda-da-vidda. Thats what they used to do when they took a cig break.

I highly recommend doing a talk show.

Some of my best shows were when the CD player broke, and I had an hour to fill with nothing but me and a friend having on the spot point-counterpoint discussions. You know, I wish we had recordings of some of those shows...

Another option is to have an open Mic night. Invite people to come into the studio and preform and whatnot. Good fun.

Play a lot of jazz stuff...a lot of that hasn't been on any top 40 lists because it isn't that popular. Also, a lot of it is from before your deadline in the first place. Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong...its all good. Of course, you could probably do a "morning show" style, where you talk for a couple of minutes, play a couple of songs, talk some more. This sounds like it should be a lot of fun for you. You can just read jokes, make up your own, comment on the news, pretty much anything. I wouldn't recommend spending two hours alone on the air, however. You should find someone to do the show with. It probably would be a lot more fun/funnier then.

Well, I've been thinking of when I go to college I want my own radio program, and one idea I came up with would be called 'Playlist'. Get people you know, like professors and such, to submit a 10 song playlist of oldies and then play it. Try to have four or five in each show. Just an idea.
