What should I play on my radio show?
De_El:
I'm not going to play any music I don't like, but to just play "music I like" is pretty vague and basically the opposite of focussed.

There's a difference between playing music you want to listen to that other people also want to listen to, and playing music you want to listen to that other people don't want to listen to. Though, if you're not worried about an audience (we lost the show ostensibly because of our audience, but I think we just offended the music sensibilities of our bosses who were of the "if it's well-performed and well-produced, it's mainstream crap!" mind), then I like the exploring a different thing each day. Whether it be geographical, or genre, or even featuring different instruments! The problem will be, you'll want to repeat certain shows and not just because you might run out of different things to showcase (though, I think the above three ideas could last a pretty good amount of time, depending on how deep your music collection is in each of those areas). You'll want to repeat shows because you won't have played enough of the awesome things that you wanted to play in one show, and that might be problematic if you care about doing one show on each thing.

QFT
John Peel was probably the greatest radio dj of all time.
I'd play everything from Modern Classical to J-Pop to Black Metal, but that's just me.

i suck at american geography, but "twin-cities" refers to minneapolis right? if that's the case, dedicate shows to their finest sons: The Replacements and Husker Du! and their modern-day finest sons: Dillinger Four, Off with Their Heads, and Banner Pilot!!!
look out! Ninjas!:
Play bad early-to-mid-90's pop-rock.
Essentially just play that one song Nickleback did over and over.
