原聲探索-My New Radio Show on Alian 96.3

Previously on this blog I mentioned that I was doing a bimonthly radio show on Taiwanese music on the Taipei radio station News 98. Regrettably, that show ended a few months ago, but the good news is starting next month I will have a new show on Alian 96.3原住民族廣播電臺 (the Chinese part of the name translates to Indigenous Radio Station). My wife and I came up with the name 原聲探索 for the show, which roughly translates to “Original Sound Exploration” or “Aboriginal Sound Exploration”, depending on how you interpret the first character. This show will be weekly and will be broadcast every Wednesday from 6 to 8 pm. The station itself is new and was originally scheduled to start broadcasting on August 1, but this has been pushed back, though I’ve been told they should start broadcasting no later than August 9. As the focus is on Taiwanese indigenous people, at least half of each of my shows will focus on aboriginal artists and songs, though I will also play some non-aboriginal Taiwanese popular songs and even occasionally songs from elsewhere, such as Southeast Asia, Japan, Hong Kong, and the West. When the manager originally proposed the show to me, he suggested that I do an hour of non-aboriginal music and an hour of aboriginal music, but while I may do some shows where each half is completely independent of the other, in most cases I’ll try to have an overall theme, and I’ll often alternate between the two types of music. I’ve already recorded my first show, in which I’ll introduce myself and talk about how my interest in Taiwanese popular music and in particular aboriginal music developed, in the process introducing some of the different types of music I expect to play on the program.
