About This Site
Myke and Dick are the Dudes who put the Dude in Aloha Dude, if you know what I’m saying. Dick, er, I, like to broadcast radio shows and cram music into playlists on my iPod. Myke prefers the behind the scenes advisory role. “Dick, shut up!” “Quit buying CDs, Dick!” and “What does podcasting have to do with your socks laying on the floor where you took them off?” Seriously folks, he’s really a patient guy and I love him. There!
We spent 4 years on Kauai running a vacation rental business and operating an Internet Hut with some groovy friends. We’ve retired those businesses and are now shuttling between New York City and the Sierra Nevadas where we’re building a Pod landing strip and hangar.
For 2 years I broadcast “Sleep Walking” an early morning dreamy eclectic program on KKCR on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. KKCR is truly inspired community radio. The kind staff and volunteer base made me love radio all over again.
Additionally, under the nom du ‘cast, DJ DICK, I often filled in for Michele Rundgen’s “Chick Rock, Chick Talk” Friday drive time show, of course as “DICK Rock, DICK Talk". 
I was also the sometime fill-in guy for “the New Rock Spin” and “the Whipping Post” broadcasts.
I hope to Podcast some programs around my love and accumulation of new and quirky music. LESS TALK, MORE ROCK. I’m also going to use this space to explore a pet project first broadcast last summer on KKCR. I grab an interesting creative type and we go through some of the songs that were important in their creative development and we have a nice chat about why. I did two pilots of these shows with Pearl Harbor and Steve Smith which are archived here, and I hope this site and the swift adoption of Podcasting will inspire me to keep them coming. Truthfully, I don’t want to put too many rules on this Podcast, we’ll just see where it goes.

A Deep bow to:
- Adam Curry for his playful and articulate representation of this evolving medium for all the right reasons.
- Dave Winer for RSS and lending his intellect and forward thinking to a new way to expand free speech
- and certainly kisses and giggles to The Dawn and Drew Show who fit the format like tight black gloves. They really put the Talk in Talking Shit.
Please let me know what you think here.
