For the last year or so, a friend of mine has directed a show on public access. As of two shows ago, I’ve had the honor of hosting it.

What are the perks? Other than an hour a week of rambling on about nothing in particular and talking to drunks on the phone, I get free food at a local Mexican joint and get recognized by people in bars and occaisionally someone I’m doing a notary for. Good times.

Anyone else had any public access experience? And if so, were you as shocked as I have been about the number of people that actually watch?
