Do both, Max - the open mic AND the MC radio. Do the radio show from the poen mic - or invite a few of the open mic folks to your 'studio'

Or have calls in from Mudcatter open mics .... anything along those lines.

Your old show format was fine ... wide open and eclectic.

Archived shows would probably put a strain on resources ... lots of storage ... maybe keep select shows, or edited parts of shows - plus the previous week's show on-line - roll the others off ...

anyway - it would be good to see MC radio again!
