First Contact is a weekly podcast produced by WFNX and hosted by Steve Theo.

First Contact Podcast 1.18.09

Hello Friends! We have some "news" about First Contact this week as we shift from being an on-air program to a podcast. Making the show something you can take with you is something I've always wanted so I'm excited about the new format. The show will still be updated weekly each Sunday like you are accustomed to. It may take me a couple weeks to get everything 100% rolling but I put together a trial episode with a handful of new music but none of my lovely voice talking as I'm still learning how to do all this. So please check it out here and once it's up and ready in iTunes I'll be back with the info to subscribe.

UPDATE! We've moved the show to the On Demand player on the site, so check it out there and let us know your thoughts.

Your feedback and support is much appreciated so let me know what you think, and please help spread the word about the new format. Also, here's what you'll here on the "test" episode:

The BPA - Seattle (feat. Emmy The Great)

The Volunteers - Volcano Joe

Negative Space - Honestly

Titus Andronicus - Titus Andronicus

AC Newman - The Palace at 4AM

Suddyn - Gravity

Common - Announcement (feat. Pharrell Williams)

Sick Of Sarah - Bittersweet

Cut Off Your Hands - Turn Cold

D.O.A. - Golden State

Thursday - Resuscitation of a Dead Man

Lily Allen - Fuck You

Charles Spearin - Anna

Los Campesinos! - We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed

Peachcake - Stop Acting....

So there you have it, a new year, a new era for First Contact! We'll be back in a week or two with a proper version of the new podcast.

  I'm gonna miss the show on Sunday nights, although I am excited about the podcast.  Now, one less step between the playlist and my iPod!  Thanks for keeping it going.

  Is this going to be an every other week deal or what?  I'm missing it already.

  Baker, we still have tons of new music in regular rotation like always, not to mention now the First Contact on demand and other shows I can't yet talk about coming as on-line additions.  The radio biz is changing all around us and we're still pressing forward, trust me it could be worse.

  Dave, I'll have the next episode up this week, I was on the road a bunch but now I'm getting back on track, glad you miss the show!
