This is my post for Day 3 of the 30 Day Blog Challenge and is the first in a series of posts titled Stepping Out And Moving On.

I am starting out this blog challenge by sharing the journey of my radio career and why I am switching to producing podcasts.

In the last post I mentioned the public access station, and that's where it all began. I got the whole inspiration to do this show based on 2 shows, True Story and the Shock Jock Hair Rock Show.

I listened to those shows and after hearing the spots saying that I could host my own show, I joined the organization and took the 6 week radio class and in June 2005 I started my first show. My spot was on Thursday's from 2-3 right before True Story.

I know I was pretty bad at first, but what made that time so special was the group over at Shaun Groves message boards on his old site. When Thursday's would come, I would go to the boards and there was a great community there with Nancy, (The Host of True Story), Cristy, Thomas, Kristen.

We would get together and chat about the shows, and also would support each other. One highlight of those days was the year we surprised Nancy on her birthday with flowers sent to her home. Another highlight was when I promoted a Shaun Groves concert at my church. Nancy was there as my helper and Thomas came all the way from Wisconsin. That was also the first time I met Brody Harper. It was on those message boards where I got my title as "Radioman!"

Tomorrow's post is all about the accomplishments.
