Lost of audio problems plagued Show 102 from Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. I even thought about deleting the show - mainly because I was so frustrated throughout the show.
But, as you can see above, show 102 has been kind of popular as far as BlogTalkRadio standards. And, just to let everyone know, this is not your "typical" Dr. A Show. This type of show is one where my BlogTalkRadio friends called into my show for support and to say hello.
At the beginning of the show, I tried to do some news stories, but didn't really work out that way. So, I hope you enjoy it. Sometimes it's interesting to see how a show host endures the stress of something like technical problems. See how I dealt with it. Thanks to all those who listened live and who already listened to the archived show!
Thanks to those who checked out the show (and the post-show) last night. I shared what happened to me since last weekend when I was on call, then going through my birthday, and then, finally, sharing me travel story getting to here at Hilton Head Island. And, basically, that took the whole show. Following this, I had a short post show, which was a lot of fun as well. (You can listen to show 101 above, as well as download the show here. Also check out the video post above)
I had so much fun, I decided to have a part deux show tonight, Friday, June 6, 2009 - at a special time - 10PM Eastern Time. Will still broadcast live here from Hilton Head. On tap tonight, I will be discussing some news stories including the Octomom getting a TV show, a funeral home having license revoked for cutting corpse, and other current events stories. Hope you can join us tonight!
This week, I'm at a conference in Hilton Head, South Carolina (tough location, I know - hehe). So, I will try to do a show from the hotel site this week. I'll probably have an interesting travel story to share with you.
Plus, my birthday was this week, and I'll share some of the birthday celebration story to you. I'll also cover some interesting current events stories (may or may not be medicine/health related) with you. Finally, I've been trying out some audio tweeting. So, I'll share that with you as well.
If you are new to the show, I encourage you to catch us live. There is a great chat room that also goes on. You can even see my shining face on the webcam. In addition, you can call into the show to say hello. Can't catch us live? That's ok. You can listen anytime after the show as it is saved as a podcast so you can listen later.

Great discussion about Podcamp Ohio tonight. Thanks to Angelo for giving us the latest information and thanks to Daniel for calling in to talk about the three sessions that he will be presenting. I feel like such the slacker because I backed out on doing a session - oh well.
You can listen to the show on the player above or download the show by clicking this link. Also, thanks to Kat for calling in at the end of the show to talk about show 100. Plus, my thanks to those who were able to check out the post show over on my ustream.tv link.
I'm on call this weekend, so there will be no Saturday show. But, next Thursday, I will be at a conference in Hilton Head and hopefully I'll be able to broadcast Show 101 from there. Have a great weekend everybody!
Can you believe that I have been doing 100 of these shows now? Thanks to BlogTalkRadio for not canceling me - I really appreciate it! What better way to commemorate the occasion of the 100th BTR podcast - with a visit from our friends at Podcamp Ohio. Angelo from Podcamp Ohio 2 will be joining us to update us on the event. Following Angelo, who knows what else we'll talk about?

I've been a bad show host in that I have forgotten to put up the links for the two previous shows. As you remember, on Show 98, we talked about the huge medblogger meetup which will be taking place before BlogWorld and New Media Expo this fall. The Medblogger meet up will be Thursday, October 15th, 2009 in Las Vegas. You can listen to show 98 on the player below or download here.
For Show 99, I want to thank BlogTalkRadio for featuring the show at near the top of the page (see graphic above). I was very pleasantly surprised with this. As you know, Show 99 was "The Night Shift with Dr. A and Kat." At the beginning of the show, we talked about how I saw a movie and went to a winery before the show - that's what made the show so entertaining.
You can listen to Show 99 above in the player or download the show here. The 2nd part of the Show 99, we talked about some news stories including the kid and mom who were on the run from court ordered chemotherapy.
Hope you're having a great Memorial Day holiday weekend! If you're around later (or if you want to escape those annoying family members for a little while), why not join me and Kat for "The Night Shift."
In advance of the long memorial day weekend, I did want to wish everybody a great weekend and hope you have a great time in whatever you're doing because it is the unofficial start of summer - YAY! However, just don't forget the reason for the holiday. Thanks to all those who are serving or who have served in the armed forces. My freedom is because of you, and I will never forget that.

The main topic this week will be the HUGE Medblogger Meetup which will be taking place on October 15, 2009 in Las Vegas right before Blog World and New Media Expo. There is a specific programming track for medbloggers and you may have seen the list of the panels on Dr. Rob's blog (BTW, today is Dr. Rob's Three year blogging anniversary - Congrats Dr. Rob!). There's also great information over on Emergiblog about this meeting.
I'll also be talking about my recent appearance on local TV news talking about asthma. I'll take you behind the scenes of what I was thinking before, during, and after the segment. I also received some interesting feedback that night and the following day - so you can't miss that discussion.
Finally, there was a brand new chat room unveiled on BlogTalkRadio just on Tuesday night. This new chat room has been causing fits on shows all across the network this week - with some shows going without a chat room for the entire show. So, if for anything else, check out how I deal with more technical difficulties during my show. (Also check out the video post above)

Update (4:30pmET): I have another evening meeting this week (yeesh), and I think that I won't be home until a little later than I thought. So, I'm going to push the time of the show back an hour to 10pm Eastern Time. I remember when I first started this show, my first prime time slot was 10pm - Ah, memories. Anyway, just wanted to give everybody a heads-up. Plus, with my lack of energy level tonight, I'm only aiming at a 30 minute show tonight. Hope to see you later!
It's no secret that even though I still call myself a "blogger," my blog posts, other than talking about my show, have been few and far between. I definitely have no excuses, but I'll probably offer some below. And, right off the bat, I'm going to apologize if this post is rambling, because it is....
I don't know why I haven't been writing a lot over the past few months. Sure my work, and over all life, schedule has been crazy, but everyone who blogs - pretty much has a busy schedule. I do admit that in addition to not writing a lot, I haven't been reading a lot of blogs either. I know that reading other people's blogs would motivate me to write - at least sometimes.
So, this post, is basically getting me back into some kind of writing capacity again. It's hard to believe, but next month will be my three year blog anniversary. It's really hard to believe. I just wanted to get something out there again - at least to write something. Hopefully, my blog post creativity will slowly return and my blog posting frequency will increase again. So, this is blogging.....
