The Radio8Ball Show is a live musical divination event where questions are answered by picking songs at random and interpreting them as the answers, like picking musical tarot cards.

ON THE RADIO: Radio8Ball has two separate broadcasts; one on Tuesdays from 6 to 8pm on KAOS 89.3 FM in Olympia, and one on Alternative Talk 1150 AM - KKNW in Seattle on Fridays at Noon. The show in Olympia is non-commercial and the Seattle broadcast has commercials (if you would like to advertise on Radio8Ball please contact Andras.)

LIVE ONSTAGE: The Radio8Ball Show live events are hosted monthly at The Capitol Hill Art Center in Seattle. These events feature live musicians who perform the musical answers to the audience members' questions. Guests have included Jon Auer, Mirah, Jim Page, Steve Poltz, Jill Sobule and more. There are currently productions in the works for Los Angeles, Minneapolis & New York City.

ON THE INTERNET: The Radio8Ball online oracle is a free and confidential service where you can get your musical divination any time day or night - www.radio8ball.com

Radio8Ball is calisthenics for the part of our mind that recognizes synchronicity and that is something I've gotten pretty good at over the years of working with the pop oracle.

My other skills include:

Acting - I have played lead roles in several major motion pictures and continue to hone my craft.

Songwriter/Musician - My band The Previous released 5 CD's in the 90's and my songs have appeared in numerous films and TV series. These days I mostly write songs for other people (Andy Dick, Willie Wisely, Shmushkin.)

Writer/Journalist - I have freelanced for several local rock publications and am currently writing a column on new masculinity for RealitySandwich.com.

Personal archivist - Have worked on archival projects for Rickie Lee Jones, Andy Dick & Bob Weide (Lenny Bruce documentary.)

A PRODUCTION ASSISSTANT for the AM Show on Thursday afternoons. This person would greet and get info from the caller's and could become an on-air presence. It would be great if this person was also interested in bringing in advertisers and affiliate broadcasters for the show. A percentage of ad revenue and syndication money is how this person would get paid.

A WEB ADMINISTRATOR - Osiris Indriya has designed an awesome new website for Radio8Ball and I just don't have the time to do everything that needs doing to make it really provide the services that this show offers. There are lots of creative and commercial possibilities here and I need to find someone who is excited about developing both. A percentage of ad revenue and is how this person would get paid.
