We engineer professional talk radio shows... no experience is necessary!

 

Global Talk Radio was launched in 2004 with the sole purpose of providing the very best station for talk show hosts, guests and listeners to come together.  With several new and exclusive shows already in production, supplemented by informative and inspirational material from other providers, we are on our way to becoming the world's fastest growing source of live, streaming and archived quality radio programming.  And now, you can become part of the fastest-growing internet talk radio station, too!

Advantages of hosting your own show:

  • You will become an instant STAR!

  • You will establish your credibility and expertise.

  • You will gain international exposure and publicity.

  • You will earn heightened respect and prestige among your peers.

  • Reach a highly-targeted audience that is interested in what you have to offer.

  • You may be able to sell advertising and generate revenue for your show.

  • Your celebrity status will open doors to new opportunities, both personally and professionally.

  • And most of all... it's fun!

You can join the growing world of talk radio by hosting your very own show online.  Internet talk radio is the fastest growing outlet for new talk shows, and is quickly becoming a driving force behind syndicated programming on conventional sources (AM & FM) and for newer technologies (Satellite & Cable).

What we do for you:  (benefits vary by hosting package)

  • Professionally engineer, produce, record and store your show

  • Make your archived shows available for on-demand streaming

  • Mix in your royalty-free bumper music, as appropriate

  • Configure your show's web page with your bio and links to your website or email

  • Promote your show to other listeners throughout our station and the internet

No experience is necessary, as we provide all the technical support necessary to produce, broadcast and archive your show.  An engineer will assist you in preparing bumper music and connecting with guests and listener call-ins, and your program will be recorded and stored in a universal format for archiving and rebroadcast.  For your convenience, all shows are hosted by telephone from the comfort of your home or office.

How it works:

  • At show time, you will dial into the station's recording center

  • If you have guests or co-hosts, they will call in at the same time

  • An engineer will perform a "sound check" and get you started

  • Your program will be broadcast live and recorded for archival purposes

  • Our engineers will check the archive for any critical sound quality issues

  • Bumper music will be mixed into the beginning and end of the recording

  • Within a couple days, your show will be posted and available for on-demand streaming

  • You supply a summary ("blurb") for each show, which feeds keywords into search engines

2 Types of Hosting Arrangements

There are two types of hosting arrangements:  PROFESSIONAL and STANDARD.  Which one is best for you?  Here are some pointers:

PROFESSIONAL:  This package is ideally suited for businesses and professionals who wish to have a regular day and time of the week reserved for their show (which helps greatly in scheduling guests), who desire to have control over the advertisements associated with their show and who want their archives available for MP3 download.  Here are a couple examples of well-done "professional" programs:   Calling All Authors  and  Indie Business Radio.

STANDARD:  This package is perfect for the home-based business or any individual interested in social networking.  The host is not committed to producing a weekly show, and in fact, shows are only produced when enough points have been accumulated (either by attracting listeners to your archives or by online donations).  Otherwise, this package has all the "bells and whistles" of the traditional package, including the ability to accept listener calls.  Here are a couple examples of well-done "standard" programs:  Love Safety Net  and  Meet The Sales Experts.
