******************************************************
Along For The Ride is expanding its collective! If you have a thing for
journalism, enjoy sharing stories and happen to like bicycles of any sort
too, we'd love to hear from you. We're looking for people who can make
some commitment to the show, but the definition of that could be flexible.
Radio experience is a bonus, but not mandatory. If you're interested, send
us an email at alongfortherideradio at gmail.com outlining why you're
interested and what you might bring to the show, and we'll be in touch
soon.
If you've got ideas but aren't interested in following through on it
yourself, we also welcome suggestions to the same email address:
alongfortherideradio at gmail.com.
If you haven't heard the show already, you can download past recordings at
http://www.rrr.org.au/ under "Podcasts".
