Just a wee heads up: I’ll be present­ing the very first Wel­ling­tonista Radio Show on The VBC tonight. The VBC is the stu­dent owned and operated/community LPFM radio sta­tion broad­cast­ing on 88.3FM, based at the Kel­burn Cam­pus of Vic­tor­ia Uni­ver­sity of Wel­ling­ton, in New Zea­l­and.

I’ve had little luck pick­ing up their sig­nal on my radio – which is odd giv­en that I live quite close to the trans­mit­ter (I think I’m in the shad­ow of a hill) – but the stream­ing feed (http://202.50.176.139:8000/listen.pls) works just fine. The show will go from 7 – 9 pm, NZDT (GMT+13). The stu­dio line is +64 4 463 9994 if you feel like ringing up and abusing/encouraging me.

Things are in their infancy, but expect the show to grow and grow and take on a life and form of its own over the early weeks of the year, with con­tri­bu­tions from many of the writers here.

From Tom:

It might be worth point­ing out that the stream­ing link requires iTunes or Win­Amp (or oth­er soft­ware on oth­er plat­forms), as it does­n’t work with Win­dows Media Play­er.
