The BlogTalkRadio Blog

With the launch of our redesigned site in September, we’ve made it easier to find what you want on BlogTalkRadio.

Members of our community can view the site’s Featured shows, shows by Category and Genre, the Most Popular show, as well as through making Friends, selecting Favorites, and our show Recommendations at the bottom of your profile page.

Now we present the Best of BTR page, which you can find as the last tab on the top of the Navigation Bar. This page lists a few segments we are most proud of, organized by Genre. With this new page, you can listen to some exclusive interviews and programming without using a Search bar. The listings link directly to download the segment.

There is so much happening on BlogTalkRadio, and new great shows airing every day. For this reason, we would love to continue to hear about segments you’d like nominated for the Best of BTR lists. Who knows, your favorite BTR segment could be listed there the next time you check!
