Well, I survived my first taping, learned a lot, got over my nervousnesss and am thinking about continuing, but now its time for you to be the judge – just cut me a little slack, cuz it is, after all, my first show!

A SPECIAL CHALLENGE
If you like these shows, let us know by donating (see below). I am considering continuing doing this on a regular basis, but only if it adds value, which I think it has potential to do, but I’d like to hear from you. If you donate and mention “This Side of Town” or as people have been calling it “Brenda’s Blog Show” I’ll know its worth continuing. You see, because of funding issues, WYOU is struggling to stay on the air past the end of this year, and its time for the community to step up and help show it is important to the community. My show won’t exist without WYOU and WYOU (where the W in WYOU now stands for Willy Street) won’t exist without YOU.
Check out what Barbara Lawton tells Ech Vedder on Luciano’s Willy St TV show about WYOU (and enjoy a little Catfish Stevenson):
DONATIONS NEEDED
Because of cuts in public funding, WYOU needs your support. The move to our new location on Williamson Street is exciting and saves the station money, but is only one part of the solution. To continue providing locally produced programming to the television medium in Madison, as well as equipment for the station and technical education for the community, this spring fundraiser is critical.
Come see the new station location and make a housewarming donation in person. Donations can also be made by calling the station (608.258.9644) or by visiting the website and donating online at www.wyou.org. A membership donation is $50. Give more if you can. Any amount is welcome. Volunteers will be available to assist with your pledge and answer any questions you may have. Donations can be made via cash, check, Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover and Paypal.
REDISCOVER WYOU
Please show your support for WYOU. Throughout the week, I’ll highlight a few other shows that would be good to watch . . .
