PWC Phto: eBay Radio interview 2005
During the summer of 2003, at eBay Live in Orlando Florida eBay Radio was born.
The program was hosted by Jim "Griff" Griffin, the Dean of eBay Education and the first customer service rep eBay ever hired.
Originally it started out as a live broadcast from the eBay Live event for eBayers who were not able to attend.
After eBay Live was over the program became a bi-weekly 1 hour show with 2 guests and open phones for eBayers to ask a question of the host.
Since it's early days the program has expanded to 3 hours on Tuesdays weekly and 2 hours on Thursday also weekly.
The Tuesday program is called eBay Radio and airs from 1 to 3pm CT. During these 2 hours Griff spends the first half of of each hour interviewing guests who are expects on the subject of eBay or on topics of interest to both eBay buyers and sellers.
The second half of each hour are open phones where any eBay member can call in and ask a question of Griff. If he does not know the answer he will do his best to find it for you.
Immediately after eBay Radio on Tuesdays is eBay Radio PowerSeller Hour. This program airs from 3 to 4 pm CT. During this program Griff talks with PowerSellers and other expects during the first half of the show. The last half hour are open phones where anyone can call in with a question for Griff.
Thursday afternoons from 5 to 7 pm eBay Radio presents Ask Griff and Lee. a 2 hour open phone program where you can call in and ask any questions you have about eBay.
All eBay radio programs can be streamed live to your computer from www.wsradio.com or you can listen to them via the archives from WSRadio.com or via iTunes.
During the Tuesday show there are contests for listeners. Prizes range from eBay swag to books on the subject of eBay.
During both the Tuesday and Thursday shows regular listeners participate in the Super Secret Chat Board (SSCB). Griff will pop in and out of the room during the show. The chat board is a great way for listeners to network and to help one another with eBay.
