We’ve been busy here getting back into the swing of things. Most importantly, you’ll find our first issue of 2014 on stands now (having trouble finding a vendor where you live? Give us a call). And, a little more sadly, we’re back to our non-holiday lives. The silver lining, however, is this: we’ve completely resumed…
On this day in 1958, something pretty special took to the air. Quite literally, in fact: the first communications satellite, called SCORE (Signal Communications by Orbiting Relay Equipment), was launched. While orbiting, the satellite broadcast a Christmas message from President Dwight D. Eisenhower via short wave radio. It proved for the first time that such…
We’re radio active! No fear, though: there’s no need to get out that spiffy lead apron used for X-rays in the dentist’s office. Our radio activity is of a rather benign sort. Harmless. Safe. And rather fun, if we do say so ourselves. Catch us on the air every Saturday morning on NEPA’s ESPN radio…
Or maybe it isn’t. We don’t know for sure. But we do know that there has been a piano on the air. And an antique cooler. And both of them sold. You probably already know that we invite you to join us live on the air every Saturday morning. We’d love you to call Paper…
And the FM, too. When you tune in to catch Paper Shop Live! on Saturday mornings, we can be found in a few spots on the dial: 96.1 and 100.1 FM and 630 and 1240AM. While we’re happy that we’re easy to find, we wondered what the difference is between AM and FM radio. We…
We do our very best to be prepared for a fun & interesting broadcast every Saturday. We’re at the ESPN studio in the Times Building in downtown Scranton bright & early. Co-host Kim’s got both her information and her speaking voice all ready to go (possibly powered by caffeine). We’ve reminded people all week that…
We’re getting ready to seize the airwaves! And if you were waiting for an invitation to join us on the air, consider this the invite (no RSVP required). You’re more than welcome to call Paper Shop Live! and tell us what you’d like to sell. Or buy, for that matter. Best of all? It’s free…
We’re generally pretty big advocates of seizing the day. But we have to admit that one of the great things about the internet is that it gives us a chance to share the podcast of each & every edition of Paper Shop Live! You can check it out here whenever you like. Aside from giving as…
… okay, maybe not duty. But certainly opportunity! We like free. And from what we hear, so do you. We offer free advertisements, free photos, free giveaways, all kinds of free stuff – but did you know that we also give you the chance to drum up some attention for what you’re selling? And that…
Can you hear me now? Yes? Good! I’d like to hear you, too. If you’ve listened to the Paper Shop Live! radio broadcast on Saturday mornings, you know that we’re completely live on the air and that the broadcasts really do end up being a mixed bag. Always fun, always interesting, but not the kind…
