Going on Tim Shaw's Asylum on Kerrang! Radio

I just got invited to appear on Tim Shaw's Asylum on Kerrang! Radio, which is based in Birmingham and is broadcast throughout the West Midlands (not that I really know what that means). It's a pretty popular show (3.5 million listeners) and Shaw is one of the UK's most infamous radio hosts, who is, from what I can tell, something like an English Howard Stern (pre-Sirius). His co-host goes by the name "Juicy Lucy." Another one of his sidekicks is called "Weenhole." He pulls outrageous stunts, has been fired from a lot of jobs, and has guests that include naked women, transvestites, and rock stars.

With guests like this, I have no idea why he wants to talk to me.

Maybe it's because he's had a bit of negative experience with eBay himself, which is why you may have heard of him. Last year, after Tim told model Jodie Marsh on-air that he would leave his wife and two children for her, his wife got angry and sold his Lotus Esprit Turbo on eBay for 50p (90 cents), which is about 1/50,000 of its true value.

I'm not sure if the sale went though, but it made headlines around the world.

Shaw also once called his grandmother and told her, in his own voice, that he was dead.

I've never done a show like this. It should be interesting.

At this point, it looks like I'll be on Thursday night at 11:30 PM GMT, which, for those of us in the USA, is 6:30PM EST and 3:30PM PST. Check the Appearances page on this site for more details. The Kerrang! Radio website allows you to listen live, but only if you're in the UK. If you know how to mask your IP address with a UK proxy, you can get around this, but I'm sure few of you are geeky enough to accomplish this. So I'll try to record it.
