Due to the LIVE nature of the show, we won't be announcing in advance what OTR programs we will be playing but will announce whether or not it is a theme or holiday show.

In each episode, we will be featuring a contest in the form of a trivia question. Be the first to give us the correct answer via our chatroom, Skype or Phone and you will win a USB Flash Drive with some OTR on it!

You can hear the LIVE show by using the embedded player on our LIVE Show page, http://www.glowingdial.com/live-show.html or you can go to our Mixlr show page at http://www.mixlr.com/glowingdial

If you go to our Mixlr show page, you'll be able to enter our chatroom and have some verbal fun with us. All it takes to participate in the chatroom is a free sign-up at Mixlr.com.

You can also interact with us in two other ways during a LIVE show: Via phone by calling 248-221-2011 (during show times only) or Via Skype by searching for The Glowing Dial LIVE and adding it to your contact list.

You can even use the aforementioned contact methods to Instant Request a show. If we have it on hand in our Archives, you'll hear it almost instantly!

We also plan to offer a webcam feed that will be active during the LIVE shows via YouTube. The link for that is https://www.youtube.com/user/deejaybrick/live so those of you with strong stomachs can see what these silly hosts actually look like. We will even have the webcam up and streaming on certain Mondays when Steve and I are cutting new shows! Details on this at our Shows page and below.

With that being said, we'd love for you to join us as we stream LIVE tomorrow, Monday, August 7, 2017 starting at 10am EST. Steve and I and maybe a guest or two will be recording new episodes of The Glowing Dial. This particular LIVE cast will not be terribly structured but will allow you to see us "behind the scenes" as we record our tri-weekly podcast. There will be some moments where you will not hear sound. This is because you will only hear what passes through our mixer so don't worry that you've lost sound, the sound will return as soon as we pot our mixer up.

This problem won't exist with our actual LIVE shows as our mixer will always be up so no loss of sound will occur.

The archived LIVE shows will continue to be available at our Mixlr show page as well as our archives page at glowingdial.com. You'll even be able to watch our Webcam version of the LIVE show after the fact as we will be archiving these at our archive page at glowingdial.com as well as at YouTube. Make sure you subscribe to my channel there while you're watching.

See you on the radio ... literally!
