Technically, the show remains untitled, but giving it a temporary name helps clarify what actually happened, and what actually happened was almost 90 minutes of airtime. The prior show, Radio! Radio!, ran a few minutes long and I played a few longer PSA's as my inital panicky realization that I was live to air set in.
The learning curve was steep as panic set in when a faulty RCA cable meant that the first half hour of the show was either in mono or double mono until I could replace the cable. I do have an MP3 (or two) of most of the show recorded through another studio, but before I upload them here (preferably as a single file), I need to re-listen to the show and see what I did wrong, which would be plentiful upon reflection.
Still, no major dead air, along with no complaints (thus far; I didn't even give the number on air), means a raging success until proven otherwise.

I had programmed an extra 30 minutes since I wound up talking in between tracks for about 15 minutes longer than expected. I have a few vocal tics to correct, which means I have a lot more practice to do, probably involving talking to myself for a while.
