Couchsurfing Radio – The very first Couch-Cast!
Couchsurfing Radio Episodes, Get to know Ori, Marketing Lessons, News, couchsurfing radio, rant Add commentsHave you ever felt you were destined to be on TV or Radio? Yeah… me either. But I sure was told it often that I should have my own show. At least for 10 yearas now. So… here it is
I present to you CouchSurfingRadio, my latest creation. Right now it will be on Monday nights at 11pm EST, with replays available for your downloading pleasure (so you can hear it again and again… have it on as you clean, drive, work, jog, poop, etc..).
The show will cover many topics, but most of them will be what I often blog about: adventures, travel, incredible people and places, marketing, life lessons, motivation, design, jokes, and of course, my odd perspectives on everything.
Here is the very first episode.

It’s a great story… the forming of this radio show: I felt like putting on a radio show, I tweeted and facebooked that in 2 hours I’ll be putting on a radio show, and then I put on my radio show. Exciting, huh? There was more to it than that, of course. I didn’t figure out how to log-in to the host number until (literally) 3 minutes before showtime. I was a distracted spaz. I didn’t know how to read the questions that were coming in through the show’s chat-room, through twitter, and through skype. So.. yeah.. I was all over the place.
The feedback thus far has been great though!
For next episode, I will have a surprise guest, someone to filter the questions/chat for me, and segments… so, some kind of structure.
Take a listen, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the show (Leave a comment below please)

I don't think you are a professional bum at all, I think more highly of you than that. I think you are professionally jewish. I love you for that!

Professionally Jewish would mean I get paid to be Jewish…. that has not yet happened (well.. maybe a Bar Mitzvah). I'm a professional a lot of things.
Speaking of Jewish jokes– check out Episode 4! From last night… was a good one, with a bunch of jokes.

January 19th, 2010 at 4:19 pm
Completed 4 episodes now… think I”m getting the hang of it now
But it's always fun!
