Calling the Stan Milam Show
What You Need To Know When You Decide To Give The Stan Milam Show A Call.
When should I call in?
You’re welcome to call on any of our “open mic” sessions which are clearly announced at the opening of the show segment. The number to call is 608-752-4000. (you can also reach us in Rock County’s calling area at *1230 on any US Cellular Phone, airtime free).
What happens when I call in?
Your call is directed to our phone bank. Calls are answered by the producer in the order in which they are received. You will be asked for your name and what you’d like to talk about. If you call during the time a guest is on, we really want you to have a question for that guest. Your opinion may be of interest, but we booked a guest for a reason, and it's their expertise we are trying to share with everyone. Please stay on topic--that's just being fair to the guest and your fellow listeners. If you would like to speak on a different topic, please call us during an "Open mic" segment.
I'm ready to go--what's next?
TURN YOUR RADIO DOWN. That's so important, we're going to say it again: TURN YOUR RADIO DOWN! The show is done on a seven-second delay, meaning what you hear on your radio actually took place seven seconds before. If you're trying to listen to yourself while you're speaking, well, let's just say it doesn't make for riveting radio. Once you're put on hold you'll hear the show on the phone.
When is my big chance?
As soon as you hear Stan say your name, head right into your question for the guest and/or Stan.
Awww...done so soon?
Well, Stan likes to get as many people on as he can comfortably. Once he feels your point has been made or the conversation turns, he moves on. Yes, that does mean "he hung up on you." Sorry--host's prerogative. It is called The Stan Milam Show for a reason.
Can I let other people get their questions in and then call you back?
Nope. One call per week is the rule. Keep listening, wait a few days, and then if you have something worthy to contribute, call us again.
Hey! You didn't let me on!
This is the decision the producer hates to make, but sometimes has to. On occasion the clock gets in the way and we run out of time-that's the way it goes. If you weren't going to be on topic, or you couldn't come up with a question for our guest, you're gone. If you called and got on within the previous week, sorry--you're toast. If the sound coming from your phone reminds us of the original telephone quality as invented by Mr. A.G. Bell, you don't make the cut. And if the location you're calling from is noisy and we can't hear you well, we can't let you on--not even if you were the world's most erudite Nobel prize winner. We apologize, but first and foremost we're running a radio program here. If you can't be heard easily and clearly by the producer one-on-one, our listeners won't have a chance. DON'T BE INTIMIDATED! GIVE US A CALL!
