Today I continue Friday’s post about some of my favorite moments while I was doing radio, as part of my series titled Stepping Out And Moving On for the 30 Day Blog Challenge.
One of my favorite thing about doing radio was being “in the know” about all of the new music before it hits the streets. I was very eager to learn and I made some connections at the record labels and was thrilled to be able to get the latest singles for free. I was also able to connect with lots of radio programmers on a couple of list serves and was able to find out lots of different ways to improve the show.
I am going to talk more about this in tomorrow’s post, but I was able to use some of my radio connections and research to secure interviews with some of today’s top artists. I remember my first interview with the band Farewell June. They were going to be in concert nearby and I talked with their radio promoter Shannon Becker and we got an interview scheduled. Man, I was so nervous! Being my first time interviewing an artist, I took lots of time in prep and I know I sounded really nervous, in fact I was so nervous that I stuck to my outline and didn’t ask any follow up questions. All in all it was a great experience.
Tomorrow I will talk more about some of the interviews I had on the show..
