My media presence expands.

Did a guest spot on Shaun O'Mac's TV Talk radio show/podcast yesterday, and he's invited me back to be on every Wednesday.

At 3 PM PDT, if you can't get enough of me, tune in to Shaun's show to listen to me prattle on about whatever I darn well please. He has other tv bloggers/columnists on the other days of the week, so you can turn in those days instead if you are sick of me.

TV Junkie on the air at 3 PM PDT today

Yep, I'm doing it again -- blathering on about TV for an hour. Call in if you want to chat or argue or make funny noises. 3 PM Pacific / 6 PM Eastern. It'll feed here as a podcast when the broadcast is completed.

Of course, you people all have lives and will be out doing things at 3 o'clock, right??

For me, it's procrastinating once more on writing or cleaning or something important...

What's the Frequency, Shawna?

Special "treat" today -- at 3 PM PST / 6 PM EST. I've decided to do my own Blogtalk Radio Show exclusively about TV. I still plan to appear on Geekerati but I felt like I wanted more time to talk TV, writing and the industry.

So, give me a listen today. Call in and let me know what you think. If you can't listen live, the 'podcast' of the show will be available in the sidebar here or on my Host Page at BTR. I would like your feedback on format, etc...want to know if this is something I should do again!

More unnerving -- I created the show profile yesterday, and Blogtalkradio already pointed me out in their blog as a 'diamond in the rough' people should listen to! Yikes! The pressure is on!

Check out Geekerati

Geekerati is a new blog talk radio show by one of my blog friends, Christian Johnson of Cinerati. The first show is available.

I will be a guest on the show next Monday night at 10 PM PST. Please tune in if you can. It is a live call in show, so just hit the link above to get the number and call in with questions or chat topics.

It should be fun!

TV Show Blogs 2006-07

UPDATE: 4/24/07 - Poked around again and found some more show blogs and podcasts. When in doubt, check the home page for the network/cable channel which airs the show.

I particularly like blogs that aren't 'character blogs' but rather blogs written by the writers about the show. I've scoured the web to find these blogs and bring them to you.

'Behind the Scenes' Blogs

• Brothers and Sisters (ABC)
  
• CSI:Miami (CBS) The Executive Story Editor, Corey Miller blogs.
  
• The Closer (TNT) Written by show creator James Duff
  
• Friday Night Lights (NBC)
  
• Grey's Anatomy (ABC)
  
• Heroes (NBC)
  
• Men In Trees (ABC) Written by Creator/Showrunner Jenny Bicks
  
• Monk (USA) So far, only one post, but hopefully this will continue forward. Also a couple of fun character blogs on the site.
  
• Criminal Minds (CBS) Okay, it's an actress's blog, but every once in awhile there are some insights into the process of making a TV show.
  
• Prison Break (FOX) Huh, this one is new -- written by Wade Williams who plays Bellick on the show. In fact, there are several blogs at TV Guide written by actors on shows such as 'The Office' (Jenna Fisher) and several others...
  
• Standoff (FOX)
  
• Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (NBC)
  

I'll add to the list as more pop up. I think it is a good trend as it gives us insight into what makes these shows tick.

Character blogs

These are blogs written in the 'voice' of a character on the show. Sometimes they are maintained by the actors, other times a writer on the show writes the blog. For the 'Lost' diary last year, the writer's assistant maintained it (not sure who is doing it this year). I have listed these by show in alphabetical order.

• Crossing Jordan (NBC) Nigel's Blog
  
• Grey's Anatomy (ABC)
  • The Nurse's Station
    
  • Emerald City Bar
• Heroes (NBC) Hiro's Blog
• How I Met Your Mother (CBS) Barney's Blog
  
• The Office (NBC) Dwight's Blog

Podcasts

• Lost
  
• Ugly Betty
