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.
