1. What’s with the name? Why is this site called The Andrew Beale Show?
Why not name a radio show after yourself, it is a way of publicising my name, and getting myself out into the radio  industry. Andrew Beale is not a stage name, it is my real name.

2. Can you help me get into the radio industry?
Sadly not. I wish I could, because I get asked this an awful lot, but sadly, I can’t. I am happy to point you to my community radio station website here, where you can apply to become a volunteer.

3. Is this a real or are you making it up? How can I believe you are on the air…
It's real alright - you can tune in to Sydney's Radio 2RDJ every Sunday from 1pm to listen to me on the airwaves. It may not be commercial radio, but community radio is still a big part of the industry and it's not just an imaginary game.

4. Okay, but what’s this site about?
It’s about the show, although most often when asked I’ll say it’s about ‘beans’. Beans, in this instance, in the sense of ‘not really that much, but terribly filling all the same’. It's a way of showcasing what I do other than over the airwaves. Sharing the content of the show through a different, although somewhat modern medium. 

5. Who ARE you?
My name is all over the site - I’ve never seen the point in being anonymous, but just in case you’ve missed it…
I’m Andrew Beale, male, almost twenty. For a complete run down of how I came about, click here.

6. Why do you do this, then? Why did you start?
How did I start? I originally completed a weeks work experience at sport's station, Radio 2KY, and then turned up to the local community radio station and tried it. The more I loved it - and the more impossible the idea of stopping became. It’s still an addiction, I still love it, so I still do it.

7. Are you a professional broadcaster?
Well, I suppose it depends what you call professional. Being a radio broadcaster is not yet my full-time job, although I do get paid to talk. You can find my CV here if you are interested in throwing me some work.

8. Do you get paid to do this or to do your radio show?
Nope.

9. Why not?
It's experience. Doing something I love that will hopefully one day gain me a full time job in the industry.

10. How long have you been doing this? Why?
I’ve been doing this since 2003. While it’s still something I enjoy and other people enjoy, I will carry on doing it.

11. How often is this site updated?
This site is updated on a weekly basis (if I'm away on holiday then obviously no update will occur), usually each Sunday evening, shortly after the show.

12. Will you give me a shout-out if I ask you?
Not a big fan of shout-outs, but if you ask kindly enough, I'll do it.

13. Will you link to me?
Yes, send me a URL, and if I feel that it relates in some shape or form, then I'm sure we can fit you somewhere on the site.

14. Can you give me some random statistics about this site?
I'm number one on Google, but sadly not Yahoo. If you want to know anything more specific - please email.

15. How many listeners do you have?
More than some - many, many less than others. It changes.

16. Is this a rhetorical question?
Clearly not.

17. Are you exactly like how you sound on the air?
Mainly yes. I may come across more ditzy on the air than I do in real life - but perhaps that’s only something I want to think…

18. Is everything on this site real? I mean, did it all really happen?
Yes. Or mainly. If it didn’t, I’ll say it didn’t, you’d know if I was lying anyway. Seriously, for me, it has to be all true, or all fiction. I don’t see the point of mixing the two here. If people thought that some things might be fictional, they’d never trust a word I said the rest of the time, just in case. Trust is important.

19. How can I contact you?
Straight-forwardly, you can contact me here.
