Hey everyone! Thanks for tuning in to today’s edition of Word to Your Mother, with Nick and Whitney.

It’s been pretty gross and rainy outside today in Louisville, so today’s word is sulky.

I think our playlist was pretty fitting, so here it is:

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – Mary Jane’s Last Dance
Dave Matthews Band – Crash into Me
Fiona Apple – Criminal
Counting Crows – Colorblind
Foo Fighters – Everlong
Greenday – Basketcase

Thanks again for tuning in!

Check us out again next week, Monday’s at 5pm.

Don’t forget the rest of the line up either, Monday’s are pretty happening.

and as always

WORD TO YOUR MOTHER!

Bellarmine Radio in the Community

This past Friday, Sept. 18, 2009, students from Bellarmine Radio and the Concord went to Breckenridge Franklin Elementary to help with their new media program. Bellarmine students mentored the 4th and 5th grade students on basic news writing and broadcast skills. This effort was part of the weekly “Power Hour” program at Breckenridge Franklin Elementary. If you are interested in participating in this program please contact Dr. Gail Henson or Dr. Kyle Barnett. Please note: the weekly Power Hour is held from 9:30-10:30am on Fridays.

A Late Welcome Back

bellarmineradio — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:26:00 +0000

Hey guys. It’s been a almost a month since school started, but I wanted to officially welcome you back to school, or wherever you are. The Billy Mitchell King of Kong Hour of Song has some exciting things in store, to try to keep up with all the awesomeness that Bellarmine Radio has had in store for us.

We went to the free concert in the Exploding Cube, and loved it. The Highlight Reel, one of the headliners for the concert, has expressed an interest in appearing on BMKoKHoS, so keep an ear out for that! Other students have been in contact with us, trying to set up either an interview or send in some of their original music, to play on the air. Any and all musicians who want to be on the air should get in contact with myself or Jess, and we’d love to make it happen!

Have fun this semester, and don’t forget to listen to bellarmineradio.com! (And of course, the Billy Mitchell King of Kong Hour of Song, Tuesday nights at 8:00!) : )

No Billy Mitchell Tonight

bellarmineradio — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 19:53:00 +0000

A couple of factors have contributed to the unfortunate cancellation of the Billy Mitchell King of Kong Hour of Song. Lots of big words… anyway, there is some fairly inclement weather on the forecast, and I couldn’t get a guest to co-host with me. Also, with the system still in transition, it’s easier to hold off on the show until further notice. Hopefully next week. I’ll keep you guys in the loop!

BEA Vegas Day 4-1/2, 5, Going on 6

bellarmineradio — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 05:17:00 +0000

We attended a session about integrated media, the web, and internet radio on the last day of the conference. We also met a professor from Western Kentucky University involved with their student radio station. The conference was a great networking opportunity and it allowed us to see what other schools are doing.

All in all this trip has been a great experience. We learned valuable information about new media, we are inspired and full of new ideas, and using this conference as a benchmark, we feel really good about where we are and how far we have come.

Here’s the sad part of the story. Due to mechanical issues, our flight was cancelled after numerous delays. As a result, Alex and I will be missing finals on Monday and will have to reschedule them for later in the week. But we get a bonus night in Vegas if that’s any consolation.

Sad part number two. We are exhausted. We are now bunked in a Super 8 motel, and we lost more money in Vegas. However, the Super 8 that we are staying in is “The Largest Super 8 in the World” so that’s kinda cool.

Can’t wait to wake up at 4:00 AM so we can catch our flight in the morning. Be sure to catch us sometime next week and we’ll tell you all about the BEA and LV Nevada.

Peace.

-Nick
