I just finished four hours of live broadcasting, which was fun but exhausting.
Today there were all these kids-like grade-school- working on a project in our production room. I had to sneak through them in order to grab my secret headphone stash and saw that they were really intent on whatever it was that they were doing, and that there were adults helping them- looks like kids are being trained/taught at the station, which is pretty cool. Our little station is really spreading goodfullness around the community...proud o' that.
Must be a neat thing for a kid, being able to make real-life 'old fashioned' radio.
It's neat for adults too. I had a blast today even though I kept playing my songs out of order...which, in true curmudgeonly fashion, I will blame on the kids.
Freekin' kids...made me play their silly kid thing on the radio...gripe , gripe...nah, I'm kidding. They did a nice job making a "Community Calendar" segment- as someone who does a lot of audio editing, I was able to hear the actual 'work' behind their project - nicely done, kids!
The 80's show was it' usual fun self- it's funny how the Reagan/Thatcher years produced a lot of songs that sound current today- Melt the Guns, indeed!
I hope the kids didn't see my clumsy radio boogie...I really do dance around the booth. It's embarassing but I cannot help myself.
Not so happy were some of my choices from our stash of local music- I was trusting the notes left by other DJ's- it turns out that "one of the best bands in Richmond" is DJ code for
"this band will put fish to sleep"...not to mention the number of CD's I just couldn't risk playing on air...if, for example , a CD contains a song titled "I Shit My Pants", I am not going play anything from the entire CD unless it has a lyric sheet. I'm too busy playing video games to spend my time listening to piles of demo CD's making sure you don't say "fuck"...

I don't see "Allan" anywhere on the site, even in the big hair section! It's been awhile since i've been out to wrir, and the site looks new and different - looks good. It's nice you have the kids in there to be exposed to all that. We have c89.5 up here that is run by HS students. They do the 89.5 second newsbriefs, dj, everything - it's great.
S- I added some links above. Big Hair is a rotation- we take turns doing it so the mix is always different...freekin' kids...I'm only nice to them because I fear I might wind up working for them someday...*grumble*
