Holy Cheesus/Creative Outlet Needed
Holy Cheesus… (my polite way of saying Holy Jesus) for whatever reason, I am having some serious blog-block (like writer’s block for the people who don’t get paid to write for the internet). I would like to say that I have had an extraordinary past couple days where all my wishes have come true, but then I would be lying to you and that is just plain rude.
Busy. Plain and...

Sharing is caring, at least that is the motto I hear all the time and I want this theme to spill onto the blog. I want to know what your biggest challenge is in the industry. What are your struggles, personally or as a member of the industry. On the flip side, what has been your biggest success? How did you get to where you are today?
I want to hear your story and any advice you are willing to...

What's a Lapel?
Today was the big day. The day where I truly became a radio person. I can finally understand and grasp the piece of advice we have all read about on this blog over and over. Radio doesn’t pay. There I said it and if you look through any of the advice from professionals in the industry the majority of them talk about having to have a second job… therefore, I have become a true...

Hot Topics?
I have talked about it before, but I feel like I’m lacking in the content department for this blog and that’s unacceptable. I was thinking about including another segment, like the Top 4. I was thinking about doing ‘Hot Topics’ in which I would outline the issue, provide some facts and then give my personal opinion/commentary. The ultimate goal would be to have a...

Not Always Right...
Before I get an email saying I’ve been sued for copyright infringement, let me just say this post is no way endorsed, sponsored or in any other way connected to the website notalwaysright.com…. my story today could, however, easily be a part of their website. Now that the legal stuff is dealt with, let’s get to the meat and potatoes of this post… customers suck…...

Apologies...
Hey! Yes, I’m still alive. I have not fallen off the face of the earth, or died some ironic or humorous death (although if I’m going to die… that’s the way I want to go. Like being crushed by a pillow truck, or falling into a pit of jello and not being able to eat my way out, that sort of thing). I just wanted to send out a quick honest post (I’ve been honest from the...

Day Sixty Seven - Eventful
There has been a lot of stuff that I have been meaning to do for the past little while. Little things, but they do tend to add up, as I’m sure you can relate and with only having a couple days off, I tried to pack it all into one day. The biggest item on my very realistic check list (seriously… it was on a post-it, in Sharpie and everything) was to get a second job.
I had no idea how...

Day Sixty Five - Random Award
There are the Oscars, Grammy’s, Tony’s, Juno’s… but I think the most underestimated of all of these awards is the coveted, Most Random Award. Today my life became a nominee for said award.
I’ve said it a bunch of times, radio is not a money career. At least not until you’re established. I’m really enjoying my part time gig at the station here in Victoria,...

Day Sixty Two - Competition?!
You’re pulling up to an event, when all of a sudden you spot a flashy, decked out car. Who drives a car like that? I mean seriously. Then you look again and this time you tense up. It’s a station cruiser, more specifically a rival station’s cruiser. Whaddya do?
First let me set the scene. Last week when I was doing the mascot challenge, we pulled up to discover that the...

Day Sixty One - Sh*tty News
Sorry for the delayed daily post. I hate swearing on the interweb, it just seems so un-needed but if ever there was a good time to drop an ‘S’ bomb it would be right now. Fortunately, it only needs to be said because it was a looming inevitability, but it doesn’t make it any less sad.
My best friend is awesome. Just putting that out there. We went to the same high school but...

Extra - If People on the Internet Told the Truth
Collegehumor.com is hilarious and they always seem to peg my thoughts on the interwebz. This about sums up how the internet works.
