Join Our Mailing List
Greetings!
 
Between our regular travels and start of our Big Blend Spirit of America Tour, we have aired a number of live Big Blend Radio shows on-location, and when we hit the road full-time starting in June, that is how all our shows will be aired - live from the various places we visit. We are honored to be asked by BlogTalkRadio.com to be part of their BlogTalkRadio.com University radio series to discuss how we host shows at events and on-location. Please join us on April 2, at 10am PT / 1pm ET to hear this special show - and oh my, we do have some fun stories to share!

Join us for our next line up of Big Blend Radio, we're covering all kinds of topics including crime, rock 'n roll, books, music, gardening, brain and neurological health, and more!

 

You can also keep up with all our upcoming Big Blend Radio shows and archived podcasts by visiting www.BigBlendRadio.com or follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

 

Have a happy Easter weekend and a great start to the new month of April!
