Kick-Ass Audio Breaks

There is nothing funnier than real life and stories are what entertain the best.  When you wrap all that into a pop culture reference, the win is both big and relevant.  How many times have you seen Ring Doorbell camera footage online?  It seems like everyone has one.  So we decided to make this a recurring feature on Karen Carson in the Morning with Johnny Minge and Intern Anthony, WNEW-FM, New York City.  The audience calls with stories of interesting things they saw on their Ring Doorbell camera that happened overnight when they woke up or they were away from home.  In this bank of stories, the first one will grab your attention, but the second call is leading to a divorce.  The second call in this set easily leads to a second break follow-up to see what the wife did.  Keep observing your life and you’ll see easy, relatable, story-based content like this for your show.

When there is a big pop culture story, do you know what I wonder?  I wonder what do you wonder?  Your curiosity can easily fill a break and drive interest in any topic.  March Madness was a big pop culture event the last few weeks.  An iconic moment in the tournament is its end.  Not in who the winner is, but in the yearly video highs and lows montage with Luther Vandross’s iconic One Shining Moment song.  Kyle, Bryan, and Sarah, WRAL-FM, Raleigh wondered how that song became the tradition.  What’s the story behind it?  They found Leslie Anne Warren, who many years ago was the one to ask Luther to sing it.  Her story is amazing.  You won’t believe what he asked for to give CBS lifetime rights.  Near every show is on the big topics.  What you do with them makes it memorable.  This is a great example.
