    If it is to bold to post it here feel free to delete, otherwise ...

    I am a producer and presenter on NEAR FM and I would really like to do a show on Astronomy/Space:
    1. what do we really know?
    2. Is there life out there?
    3. Area 51 - what is known and how huge is the cover up
    4. how to become an astronaut or
    5. How to get a job with NASA
    6. Aliens
    7. Ufo sightings
    8. Ufo abductions

    You get the picture. There is so much we could talk about on my show "Indepth", which is on every Tuesday between 3.30p.m - 4.30p.m. on NEAR FM 101,6 - you can listen to it online using the livestreaming option on our website www.nearfm.ie

    More info see: www.indepthradioshow.blogspot.com

    If you want to be my guest or know someone who would like to be on, please PM me or write to my official email: indepth@nearfm.ie

    Thanks in advance

    I am sure David Moore of Astronomy Ireland would oblige.:rolleyes:

    Sounds like a good show though. Contact some of the local Astronomy clubs. Do a search for their sites on the web. There are a good few around.

    Hehe, that guy will then call it Astronomy & Space's new show on this new NEAR station! :p


    TJ, try the links Flukey gave you. There are a couple of proper clubs in the Dublin area, and you can also post your requests on that www.irishastronomy.org site too.

    By the way, as a suggestion, your chosen topics here do not all necessarily come under the astronomy/space heading. You could also think of other branches that your potential listeners might appeal to. Some of those points you have here are more discussion than factual topics. You could add things like "How to use your new telescope" (think Aldi and Lidl last Christmas), "Observing the Moon and/or (a) planet(s)", "Binocular Astronomy" and other stuff like that.

    Seanie.

    He'd also manage somehow to mention that he has a "Sale" on where the prices are three times their converted Sterling equivalent and say that "must end" or "clearance" that some how will last two years .:D :D:D

    Ok just a general caution, we have been through all this A&S stuff before which ultimatley resulted in this forum being shut down for a time and Dev reopened it on the understanding that it wouldn't happen again. So please folks lets not go there again. Because if A&S start complaining to devore or threating action against boards then there is a good chance that this forum will be pulled for good.


    Edit: After some discussion on the mod forum I have made some small edits to some of the posts as some of the comments could land boards.ie in hot water.

    You're right, my bad on an original comment in my first post (now deleted). Though the A&S Director usually likes to issue 'legal notices' to whomever shall even appear to rival up against him anyway - I've seen it!

    Redman, not a hope I enter that bashing mode now! ;)

    There was actually a very good astronomy programme on NEAR fm when it first started up 10 years ago. I used to listen to it all the time.

    It might be worth your while asking some of the old timers at the station if they have the contact details for any of the people who used to do it.
