This is a record of the ups and the downs; the struggles and the achievements; the laughter and the frustration and what it takes to break into The Industry...the radio industry that is.
So the name hasn’t been decided yet, but it’s definitely happening. My friend Gabrielle and myself are packing up the car and booking it 4,472 km one way all the way to Toronto (at least). The goal? To make a radio documentary about what it takes for two radio grads to break into the industry… the runner up goal- to get a full time job.
Alright, you know the post is going to be good when I have an awesome hash-tag in the title. A couple days ago I expressed my desire to find a new creative outlet. Something that I can work on, something different, to get me out of the monotony of working every day. I have decided, my next adventure will be a YouTube show.
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 broadcaster because today I had my first day at my second job.
