Pregnant, Pissed, or PMS’ing

Here’s a brand new game where listeners who are either pregnant, pissed at something, or PMS’ing call.  Without tell you which one they’re experiencing, the show gets to ask the caller three questions unrelated to the three categories to try and ascertain by the tone of their voice whether they’re pregnant, pissed at something going on in their world, or PMS’ing!  Thank to Kyle on the morning show at Radio Now, Indianapolis for this one.

Why Was Bill De-Friended

Tiffany & MichaelFacebook is being used by all demos now, which is why we got into a conversation about it on Tiffany & Michael’s morning show on B101, Philadelphia. Specifically, news guy Bill Tafrow was bothered by the fact that an ex-girlfriend had de-friended him on Facebook.  So, the only course of action was to get her on the show to find out why she did that.

Karson & Kennedy Race to 1K

Karson & KennedyLast month on Karson & Kennedy on MIX 104.1, Boston, we did “The Race to 1K” where we challenged the two co-hosts to spend the month meeting listeners.  The first to meet 1000 listeners won.  This was another effort to get our team out in public and to generate lots of local content for the show through the audio they got during visits with listeners.  Here’s one break which showed how much fun they had when they went out.

My Boss Is An Idiot

What employee doesn’t think their boss is stupid?  Tap into that vibe with “My Boss Is An Idiot”. This is a trivia-based game played between someone at work on the phone line and their boss on another line to see who gets more questions right.  If (when) the employee gets more right, they not only get a prize, but get to also say publicly that their boss is an idiot (all in good fun of course).

At The Courthouse

“At the Courthouse” is a new weekly feature with a compilation of audio gathered from people at your local courthouse, asking them why they’re there.  Every story is different and they’re highly emotional as you’re talking to people who are right in the middle of their saga!  Mix the best people, the most compelling stories, and a sparkling production value and you have a new bit people might talk about.

Five Lies to Tell Your Mom

Mojo in the MorningWe just added a new weekly benchmark to Mojo in the Morning on Channel 95.5, Detroit called “Five Lies To Tell Your Mom”.  The show concocts a story with five plausible lies a listener must tell her mother, just to see how mom reacts.

Six on Sex

Here’s an edgy new idea called “Six on Sex”.  We know that sex always works as a topic.  This is where you get a couple to come in and she asks him six questions about sex that you’ve written.
