For Michael Whalen, the passionate pursuit of music represents his life story, not merely the contents of a resume. The evocative works he composes and produces have become a part of our lives too, through his remarkably diverse ventures in television, films, theater, multi-media and on his own recordings. So far, Michael has more than 500 television scores and dozens of feature and short film credits to his name.
Why you should pay attention: He has created the uplifting opening theme to the ABC News morning show “Good Morning America”, music for the “Oprah Winfrey Show”, Martha Stewart and the news magazine “Inside Edition”. He is a two-time Emmy® award-winner and a multiple Emmy®-nominated composer, music supervisor and sound designer. His most recent Emmy was in 2008 for PBS’ acclaimed 8-hour “America at a Crossroads” series.

"Hands On Top Of The Wheel" by 8 Ball Aitken
Coming from a farming community in Far North Queensland, 8 Ball Aitken is the oldest son of an impoverished family of twelve children. 8 Ball spent his adolescence on a banana plantation, living in a rough tobacco shed with resident rats, bats, snakes, and spiders as his sleeping companions. He started work as a farm labourer aged fifteen, doing back-breakingly hard work on the mango and banana plantations of the Atherton Tablelands, a man's work for a boy's pay. He had to help support his family with these wages.

The combined talents of Captain and Fonda guarantee to enlighten and entertain! http://web.me.com/dallasgaypod/DallasGayPod/Welcome.html
Q: What are your favorite blogs/audio blogs featuring new music do you like to visit?
A: Currently I subscribe to The Big Gay Sex Show, Idiot Box Radio and the G Spod. Q: What inspired you to start the site?
Q: What do you think is the impact of blogs, internet radio, and podcasts on independent music?
A: I believe that independent music can greatly benefit from blogs and internet radio. Over the last 5 years, we've seen a pretty incredible movement of increased popularity of blogs and podcast in venues from politics, independent music, and news information. Joining forces with independent blogs and podcasts, independent music artist can reach more people within a reasonable budget.
Q: When you started your station, did you anticipate that blogs would have such an upscale trend as it does now?
A: No. My first blog/podcast was simple and sweet, well not too sweet. The explosion of information that is available via blogs and podcast is mind-blowing.
Q: What are the ultimate goals you wish to achieve through your site?
A: Our goal is to entertain and enlighten. We want to make a positive impact in our community and set an example of true pride in who we are, unlike some of the blubber-heads out there today. Sure we talk about some dirty things, but overall I feel like we have a responsibility to be an example for our younger LGBT family. It's a scary world out there especially for some of our listeners who live in very closed off communities. I love the e-mails from listeners who tell us how they live their dream of being an accepted member of the LGBT community through Fonda and I. I take very seriously the enlightening part, but of course, our sass and lack of class bring the entertaining.
