Ok…time to take care of a little business.  Contests and Prizes.  You can get all of the details for this week’s contests on our Red Wild Show Contest Page.  Please take some time to check them out…oh yeah…and Good Luck!

Below are some of the highlights from our first show, just in case you missed it or want to clarify just exactly what you thought you heard.

Part 1 -  The Best Of Show Declaration: We kick off the first ever Red Wild Show and discuss why this could be considered to be a “Best of” Show!

Part 2 -  Teen Drivers: We discuss the emotional roller coaster that is associated with being the parent of a newly licensed (and permitted) teenage drivers.

Part 3 -  World Records: We were inspired by Marv Dorner’s (@bebizzy or www.bebizzy.com) recent attempt to set a world record for line dancing.  Is there a possible world record attempt in the future for the Red Wild Show?  Got any ideas?

Part 4 -  Trivia Throwdown: We go head to head in a five trivia questions showdown.  Who was the winner of this first ever trivia battle?  I guess you’ll have to listen to find out!  It’s a mixture of regular and audio trivia questions.  See if you would have come out with a better score than our hosts!  Game on!

Part 5 – Soccer Player Last Name or Food Name: We witness first-time caller “Becky” earn her very own VuVuZela.  Her task was to guess whether the name we gave her was the last name of a World Cup Soccer player or the name of a food item.  She rocked.  We pick up the action on question 5…

Part 6 – Get the Picture: We talk photography tips.  In this episode, we discuss some of the most important features (such as megapixels) when picking out a new camera.

Part 7 – Prince Announces “Internet is Over”: We contemplate the future of the Red Wild Show after the artist known as Prince announces that “the internet is completely over”.  Bummer…and we were so looking forward to doing more shows in the future….

Thanks for listening and we will see you next week!

Business Challenge

Stacy & Nicole are heading out West tomorrow after Stacy & her Posse rap up the morning show to speak at the 32nd session of Business Challenge at Dickinson State University.

We will be sharing the URL Radio story with more than 150 high school & college students, high school & college educators and other business professionals.

Since Business Challenge began in 1978, they have brought together over 7,500 North Dakota high school students, and elementary and secondary educators, for an experience of a lifetime. Business Challenge is North Dakota’s week-long, action-packed, entrepreneurial business camp. North Dakota was the second state in the nation to develop a business awareness educational program. The program has now spread to over 19 states, including the countries of Australia and New Zealand.

One of the objectives of Business Challenge is to provide students and educators with a better appreciation and understanding of business and entrepreneurship. Participants learn about technology, electronic business, and the global economy. Participants learn to generate profits, which are necessary for economic growth, competition, and productivity. They also tour industry sites. Students run their own business through a computer simulation. They also write a marketing plan, create a presentation, and meet some of North Dakota’s most influential people. Educators attend to enhance their professional skills. They learn new teaching skills and strategies and integrate “real life” into their classrooms no matter what discipline they teach.

In addition, participants gain a better knowledge of North Dakota’s economy, become more aware of what North Dakota has to offer, and obtain insights into career opportunities in the state. Business Challenge fits in with the New Economy Initiative strategies, as the program is aimed to spark the spirit for new entrepreneurs and keep our strongest resource, educated people, right here in North Dakota.
