Snow Week: The Stellar Show That Wasn’t . . .

January 16, 2011 by admin

We had a stellar line-up for the Jan 10 High Velocity Radio Show.

We were going to have Darcy Eikenberg, Susan Hyatt, and Angel Tucker . . . All On One Show !!!!

Of course as I’m sure you know, we got Snowed Out — and while I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with my girls, reading by the fire, and downing mass quantities of hot chocolate last week . . . Todd and I both were reallyÂ excited about bringing you this show.Â We were so looking forward to it.

I suspect it will be next to impossible to re-schedule these 3 ladies to appear on the same broadcast (two are not based in Atlanta, and we don’t do call-ins on our show).

Rest assured however: We will work to get all 3 scheduled back in though . . . and in the meantime you can learn more about each of them by clicking on their respective graphics below. Enjoy !
