Did you go to the Castle PaleyFest Panel on Friday, March 9th? If so, tonight is your night to call in and give your account of all the awesomeness of the Castle Team during the panel so everyone around the world who watched it via the LiveStream can share in all the other "fun stuff" that you may have experienced that others would love to share in. Please call or skype us, we'd love to hear from YOU. Reminder, please do not give away ANY "sneak peeks" or upcoming episode goodness as we do not want to spoil anyone's experience for future episodes of Castle.

You won't want to miss tonight's STR. Castle Music Supervisor Tricia Halloran will be our special guest. As an example, most Castle fans now think of Castle and Beckett (Caskett) when [One Republic's] "Stop and Stare"  is played or several other popular songs thanks to Tricia and her team's selections/creations.  After the interview, you'll want to be sure to follow her on twitter @bnwtricia and make a beeline to her website: www.bravenewworld.net to check out her various select picks to take a listen.  She has such an interesting life from her experiences and this will be a special treat for Castle fans to enhance what we've already learned last summer from Robert Duncan.  We will also be talking "PRE PaleyFest" for #Castle Panel Friday both in New York City and Beverly Hills, yay!  We hope you can join us with your questions for Tricia via skype [free] and/or our call in to our 50 phone lines (347)857-4368.

Well, let's talk about 'em with Sal.. AND, didn't you like those custom-made suits that Castle wore? All of this and MORE from the creative mind of the original Castle costume designer on tongiht show.  Join us as we will be taking your calls.

Tonight we are saluting Stana Katic’s Alternative Travel Project [ATP]. And what better way to kick off our salute than our very special guest from Arcimoto, President Mark Frohnmayer.  “Arcimoto was founded in October 2007 to bring quality, affordable, sustainable vehicles to the masses and aims to be a major player in the new green transportation space.” Wow! That fits perfectly within the ATP Mission Statement [from Facebook]: “We support and promote the use of alternative modes of transportation including: walking, biking, public transportation, and other modes of eco-friendly transport”. Tonight we will focus our attention on the importance of considering our environment when determining our method of transportation, even if it's for one day. Have you been waiting to participate because you wanted to learn more? Or perhaps you regularly use alternative modes of transportation and can share your experience to encourage others.  Even if ATP is completely impossible based upon where you live or life circumstances, your input might help generate creative solutions.  Hope you can join us. Our phone number to call during the show is (347) 857-4368.  Photo credits [at left] Arcimoto Facebook

Tonight we are honored to have the unique opportunity to talk with composer Robert Duncan. As many fans know, Robert is the creative genius behind the distinctive [whistling] theme song for the hit television show, ‘Castle’.  Even before we all learned to “whistle a new tune”, Robert’s been hard at work honing his skills on many shows and demonstrating his inventive and imaginative side for some time now.  In addition to his involvement in every episode of ‘Castle’ since its beginning in 2009, Robert continues to challenge his artistic talents with the music he has composed for many other television shows; ‘The Chicago Code’, ‘The Terriers’, ‘The Gates’, ‘Lie to Me’, ‘The Unit’ and many more.  He also has several movies to his credit, including Molly Quinn’s recent film ‘Avalon High’.  Music seems to play an important role in all aspects of our lives including television & film.  Music can set the desired tone, enhance the storyline and above all affect our memories and emotions during a scene. Who doesn’t remember a theme song from their favorite TV show while growing up ~ for some reason we do remember the music. We hope you will be able to join us for tonight's interview with our special guest Robert Duncan. Please note, the show will be available for download approximately 30 minutes after it's completion. You can download any STR show for FREE via iTUNES and/or the STR RSS feed. Photo credits [at left]: Used by permission, Robert Duncan
