I caught wind of this blog from Tod Maffin, and for anyone who has worked in public radio(and has a sense of humor, I might add), you have to check this out. Public Radio Slave is everything I should have done during my public radio days back in Iowa.
There is something to be said when you work in broadcasting. Everyone is your friend because they don’t see you as someone who works in radio. You’re their best friend. It breeds some bizarre situations and brings the strangest types out of… well who knows where some of these people come from. It can get pretty strange, and listeners are not all that I’m talking about.
And try being a broadcast engineer. Just because you can hook up your home stereo doesn’t mean you are fully qualified to label yourself as an expert. The phrase “I don’t know but we’ll make it work” was always a favorite response to anyone looking to give us their input.
