Yesterday I wrote a lil bit about my past on the radio.  I was actually on my college station for about a year, but the obsession, if you wanna call it that, started long before that.  Mostly likely because my father is also a, what I am going to call, a Radio Entertainer!  He’s got his own 2 hour show on KKFI (90.1 FM Kansas City’s community station), called 71 Highway on Tuesday Nites from 10-midnight CST.) When I was growing up he was a DJ at parties and weddings, and I also remember him doing some work at commercial stations.  I did get to go with him sometimes, and I always thought it was the the coolest thing! It wasn’t long before I was making mix tapes, with my own “dj chatter” recorded in between.  I wish I had some of those tapes now!  When I was in high school I got involved in the Drama club, and showhow I was able to fanagle myself into being involved with the sound track selection for nearly every program my Junior and Senior year.  Like - for our Winter Holiday Program I picked music that represented every winter Holiday. Or at least as best I could without the true vastness of the internets, like I’ve got now! ;-) For my senior program - a requirement of Drama II - i spent nearly as much time on the musical interludes as I did on picking the pieces I was to perform!  It’s just always something that was fun for me - putting together play-list/soundtracks for whatever.  Sometime in my sophomore year of college my friend Jeff - and hubbies room mate and best since 1st grade, convinced me to take into Broad Op, and then join the Radio Practicum.  I was on the Production Team for a while, making commercials and promos - and also on the Exec Board for a while serving as the web designer.  My first semester on air I did a co-show with Jeff on Friday nites - all request with hardly a playlist. It was insane fun. We got to pick the music ourselves for the most part, and we had loads of fun talking and goofin off!  At some point I got involved with another show on the station - I did a semester with a dude named Ash - he was the guy and I was the girl. It was mostly the same sort of stuff as with Jeff, just that Ash and Jeff were a little deferent personality wise ;-) I had a lot of fun on that show too though.  I enjoyed most of my time at the station - the events and the parties.  I did loads of commercials and promos, and I used to have a lot of them on tape - but I think they’re been lost now. :-( Which is prolly good, cause I certainly think I’m better on air now. Plus - the music is better ;-)

p.s Notice the new Skin. It’s called a bright and sexy fall. It’s the new default and the first one in the pull down menu.  Hope you like it! :-)
