Hello, I'm DJ Mindscythe, and I'm that station manager for w00t Radio.

"Hi DJ Mindscythe. w00t Radio? What's that?"

w00t Radio is a streaming radio station catering to MMORPG players around the globe. While our primary MMO is City of Heroes/Villains, we provide music for anyone who likes and plays MMOs.

"Ok, so what kind of music do you play on w00t Radio?"

All kinds, actually. Our resident host, the mad German DJ Otto Plair, has a wide variety of rock, with some novelty and comedy tracks to spice things up. And our specialty DJs play their personal collections, so there's no telling what kind of music you'll hear!

"Specialty DJs? Who are they?"

Our specialty DJs are the people who make w00t Radio shine! For example:<ul type="square">[*]On Tuesday nights from 9-11pm eastern, you can listen to DJ Crymson Pleasure's [u]Tanker Tuesdays[u].[*]On Wednesday nights from 9-11pm eastern, DJ Nor keeps you movin' and groovin' while you're movin' and groovin' in-game.[*]On Thursday nights around 7pm eastern you can listen to the live recording of the long-running and popular [u]Jester's Court[u] podcast series, hosted by DJ Jester, w00t's founder.[*]On Friday nights from 7-11pm, yours truly, DJ Mindscythe, steps behind the microphone for a little show I like to call [u]The Madhouse[u].[*]Plus, every weekday from 8am-5pm, listen to [u]The Theatre of the Mind[u] which is all movie and television music. 650+ scores and soundtracks, over 5700 tracks![/list]"So how do I listen? And can I make requests?"

We love requests! Go to http://www.w00tradio.net/ and click on the "w00t Radio" button (at the top on the right) to get to the requests &amp; listen in page! Some shows are set up for web-requests, but you can always chat with the DJs and make your requests live! w00t Radio has its own chatroom/instant messenger program, the wRIM (w00t Radio Instant Messenger). You can download and install it from w00t Radio, or use the web version on the w00t Radio site (no installation required). Plus, most of our DJs also run other instant messenger programs like YIM, AOL, MSN, and X-Fire.

"Do you take requests in-game too?"

Otto takes requests only from the website. DJ Nor takes requests in the wRIM. Crymson Pleasure is a WoW player, so she takes requests in-game there. I'm a CoH person, so anytime I'm on and in-game, I definitely take requests there! In fact, w00t Radio has its own channel in CoH/CoV that you can chat on as well. Search for w00t Radio and add us to your favorite tab!

"Are you accepting DJ applications?"

Always! The more voices we have, representing the entire MMO landscape, the better! Just send an e-mail to mindscythe@w00tradio.net that has information on the show you'd like to do, and a short demo attached/linked (in mp3 format if possible) that shows off what you can do. It's that simple!

So I guess Jester got over the government inflicted issues he was having?

I'm still listening to kjsr, since it caters to City of Heroes only, and is stuffed to the brim with Protectorite dj's.

My friend DJ vinyl used to DJ for W00T, as did Krelo. I miss their shows.

It wasn't the government, actually. It was those greedy [censored] over at the RIAA. But yeah, it's been dealt with.

One quick w00t Radio programming note for June 17-19:

[u]The Theatre of the Mind[u], and [u]The Madhouse[u], will not be available during this time (DJ Mindscythe and Mrs. DJ Mindscythe will be celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary), but will return starting June 22nd and June 26th respectively.

DJ Otto has graciously agreed to fill in (he loves the extra air-time), so you'll still have commercial-free music 24/7, and fully requestable as well.

Greetings all!

Well, vacation's over, and that means I'm back and so is w00t (back to its normal broadcast schedule that is): [u]The Theatre of the Mind[u] is on now, and will be on from 8am-5pm eastern, Mon-Fri, and [u]The Madhouse[u] will be on from 7-11pm eastern Friday night.

Also, look for new shows starting in the next few weeks!

New from w00t Radio:

Have you got an event planned in-game? Would you like it announced on-the-air? Or would you like live coverage and music to go along with it? w00t Radio will announce your event, and is also available to cover and DJ live events!

If you'd like us to announce your event, or schedule live coverage of an in-game event, send a PM to Mindscythe that includes<ul type="square">[*]The time and date of your event[*]What server the event is taking place on[*]What type/genre of music prefered (live coverage only)[/list]and we'll work with you to get your event on-the-air and/or arrange live coverage! One disclaimer: We can't promise to cover every event (it's dependent on our DJs' availability) or to guarantee the requested type of music (music selection is dependent on the DJ's private collection, and not everyone has every type of music), but we'll do our best!

We're setting up a "Community Calendar" of sorts of in-game events that'll be announced on-the-air periodically throughout the day and night, so if you have a re-occurring event, or a one-time event, and you'd like us to announce it, we will!
