This is for questions, answers, ideas for public radio stations participating in Talent Quest.

Questions and troubleshooting about becoming an affiliate and including one of our buttons on your website.

There aren't a lot of general forums on public radio out there, so this is an opportunity to tap into the collective wit and wisdom of public radio fans and pros alike. What shows you do you like or can't stand? Who are your favorite hosts? How can we get out of the vicious cycle of pledge drives?

To record and upload your own fundraising spot, check out Evoca -- or for other options, see our tips here. Once you have your spot recorded and uploaded, just sign in to the Talent Quest site and post the link to your MP3 as a comment on this message board. The deadline for submissions is Friday, August 24th at 5pm ET. We'll post some of the scripts for your comments, and link to the audio entries from publicradioquest.com.
