So I work at a radio station, and for me it's just a job. I'm not saying that it's not fun, but I don't really think too much of it. I have a show on the light rock station every Monday- Friday from 7-10 pm, but for me it's just a part of my job. When I started in radio, it was really cool, but now it's what I do every day, so even though it's still fun, I don't really think about it as being a "cool job."
My station's target demographic is people between the ages of 35 and 54, and when you go to the gym at 7:00 in the morning, that's exactly who you run in to. People don't scare me, so I'm not afraid to talk to them, even if they are a lot older than I am. We exchange the usual things like names, and sometimes workplace comes into play, and as soon as I mention I work at a radio station, everyone thinks it's the coolest thing that they have ever heard.
I have signed autographs for kids that take my tour of the station, but luckily I haven't had an adult insist upon it. I don't see myself as a big star or anything like that. I have a job, and I do what is in my job description. I love what I do, but to me it's not a big deal, because I do it every day.
For those of you who don't know being on the radio is a blast, but the actual studio isn't that cool. It's just a room with a microphone that connects to a switch board that controls what goes on the radio essentially. There's a little more to it with programming, but that's essentially it.
If you want to hear my show, you are more than welcome to. It can be streamed live at star98online.com every Monday- Friday 7:00-10:00pm Mountain Time. It's a fun job, but just because I am on the air, it doesn't make me a star. I'm just a regular person that just happens to have a job at a radio station.
