Thank you so much for the work you have done. You are an invaluable source for information about local theatre. You have led me to some of the best productions I have ever seen. Your support of high school theatre means so much. The support you have given makes us students feel like we have an army behind us, and that no matter what the Cappies say, we are REAL theatre, and that feeling is so rewarding. Thank you so much for everything.

We started out doing reviews as a recorded conversation after we saw a show. We played the recording on our Internet radio station, and made the MP3 available as a podcast. It turned out that our station licensing didn’t let us play that recording (it was considered advertising), so that stopped. But the podcast ran for several years.

Mike and Laura,

Maybe someone out there has interest in podcasts or audio streaming this type of content. With your catchy domain name and platform, it’s a good fit. BTW, how did you come up with the name? Inherited, evolved, or created?

Good morning Debra,

No one has expressed any interest in purchasing the site and systems from us. Not that we would really expect any one to do that, so we’ll be keeping the sites up as an archive so that links to reviews and other articles won’t go bad.

If anyone out there is interested in buying the site, contact me, but it won’t be inexpensive. 🙂 Mike

Mike and Laura, you have performed an exceptional service to the DC theater community. Thank you for your years of dedication to Show Biz Radio, and the creativity you showed in creating it in the first place! Are there any discussions with possible buyers or someone who might take on this gigantic labor of love? All the best to you!

What an incredibly honest and eloquent account of your experiences. I think you are being way too hard on yourselves, but I suspect you want to leave a paper trail of your business model as either a guide or a cautionary tale for those who follow. As someone who has an inkling of what you did – writing, editing, and maintaining a website – and tried to do, while attempting to keep everyone happy, I know what an impossible task you faced. That you persevered for nine years is testament to your success. Thanks for your contributions and enjoy your well-earned (probably semi-) retirement.

Thank you so much Mike and Laura for all you have done for the theatre community. Your reviews not only helped the “Big Guy” in town, but made the “Little Guy” feel bigger and better about themselves. Congratulations on your many years and your many successes. We will miss you, but always know where to find you.

Cheers
Harry

I know all good things come to an end, and I can imagine how hard it is to cover DC-area theater when you live somewhere else, but I’m sorry to see you go. Your hard work has produced some excellent results. Congratulations to you and the whole gang at ShowBizRadio, and best of luck in your future enterprises.

It was fun, wasn’t it?

Mike and Laura,

Thank you so much for your tireless efforts over the years to cover what has become a HUGE theatre community in the Potomac Region. You two were always great to work with when I was an actor and when I was working as a marketing and PR guy for several local theatre companies in the area. I will miss your coverage, but best of luck to you both in your future endeavors. I hope our paths cross again in the very near future. Congrats on your many, many accomplishments with ShowBizRadio!
