Interested in a weekly audiophile radio show?

I am an audiogon member, an enthusiastic audiophile and also a volunteer DJ at KZSU Stanford 90.1 FM in the bay area- a non-profit community broadcaster. I am considering dedicating an hour or half hour of my weekly show to audiophile topics.

I was thinking of having people from the industry in for interviews. A few of my ideas included having cartridge designers to explain how cartridges work and the differences between MC, MM etc, amplifier specialists to discuss SET, parallel, transformer-less, Class A, Class D etc. I would love to get ideas from this forum to try and make this as interesting as possible for the audio enthusiast.

Do you think there would even be an interest for this sort of thing? I was also thinking of asking audiophile re-issuer’s, like Classic, Speakers Corner etc. in to play their pressings. The station is equipped with an input that facilitates bringing an outboard phono preamp and turntable in. It also has three turntables that we use all the time, but they are definitely more disco type rigs with tough Stanton cartridges. What do you think?

Thank you gus all so much for answering. We do stream at http://kzsulive.stanford.edu/ at 24k mono, 56k stereo, 128k stereo (all MP3) and now at 192k AAC for those with a good internet conection. KZSU does all sorts of specialized stuff- from the Palo Alto City Council to a weekly show on intelectul property law in the information age. I don't think that the geek-ness of an audiophile show is out of line- who knows, it might even peak the interest of someone who is not already "in the choir."

I think I am going to go ahead and do it. I would love it if anyone else had some more specific ideas of folks & topics for interviews!

I will post as soon as I have a date and time for the first "audiophile" half hour.
