We are pleased to announce the introduction of Milsurps Collector Talk Radio. Available Internet wide, this radio channel broadcasts 24 hours a day, providing music and talk radio programs relating to collecting military surplus firearms, equipment and accessories. The channel may be accessed directly from your computer and you're able to surf the net or read the forums, while listening at the same time. The broadcast is also available on mobile phones, tablet computers such as iPads, plus universally through all of the popular third party Internet radio applications such as Tuneinhttp://tunein.com/radio/Military-Surplus-Collectors-Radio-s194916/ and Apple iTuneshttp://fire.wavestreamer.com:1419/listen.m3u?sid=1, if you use it.

Besides military oriented interlude music, historical interviews with WW1/WWII veterans and talk programs hosted by expert collectors and authors, there's specific Canadian content such as Canadian Reload Radio and Canadian Service Conditions Radio. We also broadcast two regularly scheduled popular U.S. programs, Gun Guy Radio and the AR15 Channel.

As discussed with GT, we're looking for additional program hosts and help to grow the channel. For example, with over 22,000 collector members world wide, we'd like to have some of you from various geographic regions (country, state, province etc), host a monthly show that pertains to what's happening in your own locale in regards to collecting, guns shows, range events and other information that may be of general interest to fellow collectors. Perhaps you're a collector focusing on a specific genre of collectible firearm and you'd like to host a monthly or bi-monthly show to talk about your collection and answer emailed questions about your collection, or specific area of expertise?

It's not complicated and all you need is a computer with a microphone to record your show, which you email to us and then it's scheduled and aired for everyone.

Our community is getting smaller and the age demographic is getting older, so, if anyone would like to help us out and see if we can broaden collecting interest amongst the newer highly computer literate younger generation to get into our hobby, send me an email at badger@milsurps.com, so we can talk about it further.

Thanks for listening … :D

Doug

ps: we also have a Milsurps Television channel in development…. ;)
 
Wow, this sounds great!!!

Badgerdog, you are very correct in your statement about the demographics of collectors. At 31 I've already figured out that I'm VERY young when it comes to serious collectors. Most of collectors I've met have been at a minimum twice my age or older, which is concerning because you older guys have so much knowledge that will be lost over time.

But that being said, there's a good group of surplus collectors here in Manitoba that are under 35, and I'm converting my friends slowly over time!

I'm trying to gather as much first hand info as I can before it's too late. Also I'm trying to get my hands on as many of the recommended books that I can find.

This stuff may be lost over time, it's sad.

This podcast is going to be great!!

Thanks!

Thanks!

You're welcome ... :)

Note: Strictly speaking, it's a streaming radio service, not a "podcast", although podcasts do get streamed as part of the 7x24 availability... ;)

To add it to your iTunes as a streaming radio channel, simply use the universal link I put in the first post .. Apple iTunes (click here)http://fire.wavestreamer.com:1419/listen.m3u?sid=1

I forgot to mention that there's a really interesting 1944 interview with a surviving Civil War veteran, that cycles up as part of the regular schedule as well. He talks about hearing of Lincoln's assassination...

Regards,
Doug
