Well, every now and then someone comes up with something unique that has possibilities. "The Duckster" came up with a concept where the MEMBERSHIP plays a role reversal... and asks Johnny and I the questions. So, just to prove that Johnny and I can meet the task... and to give the membership an opportunity to turn the tables on us, here's your chance. POST YOUR REASONS why you should be one of the FOUR GUEST HOSTS. It will be "The Duckster" and FOUR MEMBERS that HE SELECTS for the panel. The rules are simple.... post your reasons WHY you would be a good member of this panel to "The Duckster". This is YOUR SHOW. If you participate, you must be willing to give a CONFIDENTIAL PHONE NUMBER to "The Duckster", which he, in turn will give to us, when ALL OF THE PANEL has worked out a time that everyone can participate in, including US, we will work it into our show production schedule. This is great, because you are going to get a small taste of what Johnny goes through as Executive Producer to do an Interview Show.

Okay Duckster.... be careful what you wish for..... we are waiting! Let us know when your panel is ready and we will coordinate a time to do YOUR SHOW. You MUST have FIVE MEMBERS INCLUDING YOURSELF for the show to happen.

Good Luck....

By the way, I have been asked by “The Duckster” aka “Ducky” to inform the membership that SHE is FEMALE! .

Dave and Johnny?

As I said to you both beforehand:

This is a fantastic idea, for members of ATS to pull a 'fair play'.

*******************

We the members of AboveTopSecret NOW have the opportunity to Interview YOU! - Dave & Johnny!

Our Dynamic Duo is waiting for fellow posters to bring on the questions.

Example questions:

* "Did you have a radio-voice background prior to ATS?"
* "How and Why did you join ATS?"
* Mission statement/ Beliefs?

There is such a wide-variety of topics that we can ask these guys.

Come on!

Don't YOU want to know what goes on behind the scenes?

I'd be interested in participating Duckster. My application will have to wait till tomorrow though as I am in Las Vegas for a few nights...

I'll get back to y'all.

Hehe.

Um, I guess I'll throw down my gauntlets here guys. I got a few tough questions for y'all, and I hope that you have the collective stomach to answer.

Duckster, I think what will make me a prime candidate will be my complete disregard for everything PC, and a return to what most would consider a region of "normalcy". This area is an area that's completely free-thinking, where anything goes!!

Lemme know whatcha think.

TheBorg

P.S. Just so y'all know, my voice sucks.. I've been called a woman on the phone more times than I can count. I'll just have to talk from my stomach while we're doing this, provided I'm selected. Let's have a good clean show, and above all, HAVE FUN!!!

I will not be participating due to personal reasons (or, if you want to be extreme, conspiracy reasons beyond our current dimension ), but I find this to be an interesting concept. I will definitely be paying attention to see what questions are asked. I hope only for the best.

Well I just want to lend my support to the concept .
I am never short of an opinion and outside of ATS I am frequently accused of being cheeky . Anyway I would like to wish who takes part in this great idea well.

By the way, I have been asked by “The Duckster” aka “Ducky” to inform the membership that SHE is FEMALE! .

Dave

Why not have those who want to take part make a podcast ?
IMO that would be the best way of working out who is suitable for the role of guest hosts.

Duckster.

Here is my list of reasons:

1. US military service, multiple branches, multiple jobs to include intel, and I won't mention anything classified...sorry
2. I have plenty of experience speaking so talking on the phone will be way easier
3. I talk about facts but understand how a good rumor can make you think
4. I don't get emotional
5. I have not been abducted by aliens, at least I don't remember if I was
6. I have a very good sense of humor
7. I can get along with almost anyone
8. I can change my thoughts quickly if the topics change
9. Know lots of things
10. Diverse work history as well as places I have lived
11. Think outside the box
12. Already have a few questions I want to ask them
13. I have had talked to Johnny and Dave via u2u or email so i'm inclined to say I got an idea of where they are coming from
14. I already met a few people on this site that always cause people to think, needless to say they rubbed off on me
15. I am the first person to reply with a list of reasons so i'm letting you know that i'm taking this seriously
16. I want to find out what these guys really know and think on topics that I am curious about
17. I am usually the one guy who makes everyone laugh
18. I get everyone's attention when i'm on stage, I am a performer so keeping everyone's attention is very important
19. This seems like something I would do
20. I want the members to know that life is about having fun and this is a great opportunity to do just that

That is a short list of things. Let me know what you think.

I didn't see anything about supplying a LIST, but I did give reasons..

All in good fun though. This is going to be a blast guys. And Ducky, just for the record, I'll never call ya Donald, ok?

By the way, I have been asked by “The Duckster” aka “Ducky” to inform the membership that SHE is FEMALE! .

Maybe not Donald, but also don't call HER Daniel...

Re: CONFERENCE CALLS

My family and I are always on the go. Most of us have our own cells, so there wasn't a 'need' to install a land line.

I have a cell phone - with *unlimited* evenings and weekends. 6pm to 7am (next morning). Incoming calls are free.

I hope this isn't too much of a prob. My only concern is if my call breaks up/garbles or worse - cuts off completely. I've never had that happen, as I've recently talked with my friend from Ireland, and had no instances.

The other thing that concerns me is the 'reverbs' that occur with cells. Mine is no exception. Once I get past the initial echoeing of my own voice with someone else - piece of cake!

Other than that, I can definately find time to sit with you guys after 6pm 'my time zone'.

Are these mini-probs, something that can be worked with? or no-go?

~Ducky~

I prefer weekends. A Saturday is best, as I'm guaranteed to be off. Just let me know ahead of time, so that I can prep with the proper supplies. Any CTer worth his/her salt can't forget to have their tinfoil hat with them when they sit down to have a conversation with two of the 3 Amigos' amigos.

As for conference call reverb, I'm not too concerned with that, so long as I can make the call. I get this hankering suspicion that there's going to be some intentional reverb when I start asking my questions, as Dave and Johnny will be rummaging around for the answers. You guys have NO IDEA how much fun this is going to be!! I'm itching to ask questions that will provoke all kinds of conversation. But I'll save the juiciest ones for last. So, come prepared with a chair, a good full bottle, and a good amount of time to kill, because this is going to get deep!!

Now, where the hell did I put that pen? DAAAAVE??? I NEED MY PEN BACK!!

TheBorg

IF you knuckleheads actually get FIVE, once you coordinate the timing for YOU FIVE plus JOHNNY and I, the conference call will be done by me as I have INTERNATIONAL SKYPE PRO and can CONFERENCE up to NINE PEOPLE at once.

Dave

Dave you might want to clear up what hardware the participants will need to have in order to take part.
Could this be done with the Free version of Skype and a microphone ?
Cheers xpert11.

Sure.... IF someone has a SKYPE ACCOUNT and a MICROPHONE and KNOWS HOW TO USE IT.... that is fine too. I can MIX Skype and Regular Phones very easily and have on numerous shows.
