If it's Sunday night, it's Radio Night at MediaBlvd Magazine. This is the night where all 3 of the ShaunOMac family of radio shows are live, talking about the latest in pop culture, television, and SCI FI. The radio shows are best described as live podcasts that allow for live call ins with the hosts. Each show is automatically saved as a podcast mp3 and uploaded to itunes within minutes of the show's completion. Each show has on the order of hundreds of live listens, with thousands downloading the archived podcasts.
The July 1, 2007 editions of all 3 shows focused on SCI FI Channel's digital press tour. Angela Reed, one of the co-owners of MediaBlvd was in attendance, and pulled audio segments from all of the panel discussions for the three shows.
Each show is hosted on http://blogtalkradio.com. Numerous celebrity guests, mostly from Battlestar Galactica and Jericho have been on the shows and have taken call ins from the fans. A complete archive of the celebrity audio is available at http://www.mediablvd.com/magazine/Audio-Archives.html. Note, there were lots of earlier efforts before the current format was settled upon, so the archive contains multiple differently branded shows.
Shaun Daily is the mentor and master of all 3, and recently became a full time employee of Blogtalkradio, as their developer of new content. That fact, coupled with a major re-launch of their site later this month, which will allow callers to participate via the internet rather than requiring a phone will greatly increase the amount of on air time for numerous new shows.

Save Jericho Press package: CBS recently released this video segment detailing the efforts of the fans to save Jericho. Featuring ShaunOMac Radio's Shaun Daily, this short video details those efforts. |
Many people have asked, given the ShaunOMac radio show's focus on Battlestar Galactica, why Shaun wasn't one of MediaBlvd's representatives on the press tour. He was invited, but was busy working on the above video with CBS about the save Jericho campaigns. You can see what he was up to above. This is the video that is referred to in the shows.
