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.
The following post is a continuation from yesterdays article from Todd Palmer, the Promotions Coordinator for Ocean 98.5 and 103.1 JACK FM in Victoria. He has one of the most creative brains out there, so if you haven’t already, make sure to read the first half of his write up which includes a not-so-funny-then-but-funny-now story about an inflatable pig.

Holy Aunt Josephine! It has been quite a break without some blog posts, however I am back and with a bunch of great stuff for you. One thing that hasn’t been shared for awhile is advice from industry professionals, so let’s start there.
I’m tempted to start the day counter again. Originally it was counting how many days it had been before I got a job… and well, I have a job now, so should it be restarted to count the numbers of days I have had a job? Regardless, today was my first shift in the promotions department and I have to say this is going to be a sweet job.
SUMMER! It has arrived. Technically it arrived back in June, but my rule is that before we can claim it is Summer, the sun has to be out for at least 5 days straight and guess what?! IT’S SUMMER! Break out the popsicles, shorts and sandals and of course awkward sun burns and tan lines!
Today I went for a journey in this beautiful weather to hopefully buy some last minute tickets for an amazing concert here in Victoria (Jeremy Fisher, Said the Whale, Hannah Georgas and Aidan Knight!) and luckily they weren’t sold out… So I will try and take some video or get some pictures for the extra tomorrow, so keep your eye open for that. With all that aside, my BCIT roomie did her homework that I dished out yesterday and she submitted her story!
