Oct. 5th, 2015 08:32 amGood morning everyone, and welcome to Radio Free Monday!
A note before we begin -- I've noticed a subtle but steady creep in the number of comments/emails (as opposed to form submissions) requesting a listing on Radio Free Monday, and while that's totally fine (I will still list them!) I want to remind everyone that the absolute best way to enter a listing is to fill out the form here -- it's linked from every RFM post at the bottom, and also on my tumblr sidebar. It gives me all the info I need and helps me write a more effective blurb on your behalf. Also they're WAY less likely to get lost in the mess of my inbox, because the form stores them all in a single spreadsheet I can check.
If you have questions about whether your listing is appropriate or want to make sure it got seen or if you're just more comfortable with email/comments, please, still feel free! I just want to remind everyone that the form makes everyone's lives easier in the long run. :)
